The Team:
As a Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Analyst, you will play a central role in shaping and strengthening our security and risk posture. You’ll act as a trusted partner to teams across the business—helping them navigate security decisions, manage risk effectively, and meet compliance requirements without slowing down innovation.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role within the security team, reporting directly to the CISO. You’ll work at the intersection of security, engineering, and business operations—driving pragmatic, scalable approaches to risk management and compliance.
What You'll Do:
- Partner with stakeholders across the business to identify, assess, and drive remediation of security risks
- Support and evolve our compliance programmes (e.g. ISO 27001, SOC 2), from evidence gathering through to audit readiness and accreditation
- Design, implement, and continuously improve security controls and monitoring practices
- Build and automate GRC processes to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability
- Develop and maintain clear, actionable security policies, standards, and procedures
- Provide hands-on support during audits and act as a key point of contact for internal and external assessors
- Embed security into business decision-making by providing practical, risk-based guidance
- Own and mature vendor risk management across the full lifecycle
- Contribute to building a strong security culture through awareness and education initiatives
What We're Looking For:
- A pragmatic GRC practitioner who understands how to balance risk, security, and business velocity
- Experience working with security frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or FedRAMP
- Solid understanding of technical security controls and how they are implemented in modern systems
- Ability to write code or scripts to automate workflows, analyse data, or improve GRC processes
- Experience building dashboards or visualising data to drive insight and decision-making
- Exposure to graph technologies (e.g. Neo4j) or an interest in applying them to security and risk problems
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Confidence in presenting to a range of audiences, including customers and auditors
- A growth mindset and a desire to continuously improve both your craft and the way GRC is delivered
