About the role

This is the organisation's first dedicated security hire and is intended to grow into the seed of a security team over time. The role owns technical security operations and assurance, working closely with the Compliance Manager, who owns compliance programmes and external audits. It supports customer security questions and RFPs, and operates within the security direction set by the Head of Infrastructure.

Reporting line & team

The Information Security Manager owns the day-to-day review and coordination of the organisation's security operations - security incident review, vulnerability management, and client security assurance. The role combines hands-on technical work (triaging findings across the AWS estate and validating fixes) with coordination (tracking issues, driving remediation, and reporting on posture).

• Reports to the Head of Infrastructure.
• Partners with the Compliance Manager on compliance-related security work, providing technical security expertise, operational evidence and remediation updates.
• Collaborates with the Infrastructure and Engineering teams on platform security remediation, and with the external security advisory partner on specialist work.
• Drives corporate IT security improvements internally, coordinating with Thrive, Bipsync's external managed service provider, which has replaced the internal IT Manager function and implements the relevant IT changes.
• Individual contributor today, with scope to build out a dedicated security function as the organisation matures.

Responsibilities

Security operations - technical

• Review and triage security incidents across the AWS estate, coordinating response and escalating to the Head of Infrastructure where needed.
• Own vulnerability management: interpret output from security tooling and scanners, assess and prioritise findings, and validate that remediations are effective.
• Monitor security posture across the AWS platform and corporate IT environment, recommending improvements to controls, configuration, and tooling.
• Validate the effectiveness of corporate IT security changes implemented by Thrive.

Security operations - coordination

• Track security findings and remediation work to closure, driving action internally across Infrastructure, Engineering and other stakeholders, and coordinating with Thrive on corporate IT changes.
• Maintain visibility of open risks and report on security posture to the Head of Infrastructure.
• Define and track risk-based remediation priorities with the relevant teams and Thrive, escalating overdue or material risks to the Head of Infrastructure.

Client security assurance

• Support the Compliance Manager with the security content of RFPs and customer security questionnaires.
• Represent the organisation's security posture to customers and prospects on occasional security calls (limited exposure - a small number per year).

Governance & improvement

• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of security practices, standards, and tooling.
• Support ISO 27001 / SOC 2 activity with technical security expertise, operational evidence and remediation updates, working alongside the Compliance Manager, who retains ownership of compliance programmes and external audits, and the security advisory partner.

About you

You are a pragmatic, hands-on security professional who enjoys turning technical findings into practical improvements. You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical colleagues, influence action without relying on direct reports, and hold internal teams and external partners accountable for agreed remediation. You balance security risk with delivery needs, make proportionate recommendations, and know when to escalate. You are comfortable building a security function in a growing SaaS business while remaining close to the day-to-day technical work.

Requirements

• Experience triaging and coordinating security incidents.
• Comfortable supporting customer security assurance - questionnaires, RFPs, and occasional client-facing security calls.
• Exposure to ISO 27001 and/or SOC 2 from an operational / evidence standpoint.
• Self-starting and comfortable being the first dedicated security hire, with the ambition to grow the function.

Benefits
