• Respond to customer security questionnaires and due-diligence requests, coordinating answers with relevant teams.
• Oversee task allocation and follow-up through assurance workflows and tools.
• Advise colleagues on security questions and act as an escalation point, involving the wider security team where needed.
• Support the broader Security Operations function and engage with technical security issues.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in information security, security assurance, GRC, security compliance or a related role.
• Practical experience supporting audits, maintaining evidence and tracking actions through to completion.
• Working knowledge of ISO 27001, ISMS practices and security controls.
• Experience responding to customer security questionnaires or assurance requests.
• Confidence coordinating work, chasing follow-ups and explaining security matters clearly to different stakeholders.
• A working understanding of security operations and technical security tools.

Experience in a software, SaaS or technology business would be useful.
