Information Security & GRC Specialist

Information Security & GRC Specialist

Manchester | Hybrid

Make the Connection.

At Vix Technology, we build technology that helps millions of people move around cities every day.

Our fare collection, payments and transit solutions operate across more than 200 cities and regions worldwide. With technology supporting critical transport and payment services, security, resilience and trust are fundamental to what we do.

We're looking for an Information Security & GRC Specialist to join our Manchester team.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a few years' experience in information security, GRC, technology risk or audit who's ready to take more ownership and broaden their experience within a global technology business.

The Role

You'll take day-to-day ownership of our Information Security Management System (ISMS), helping ensure Vix remains compliant, audit-ready and continually improving.

Working across Security, Engineering, Technology and the wider business, you'll coordinate ISO 27001 activities, prepare for internal and external audits, manage evidence and help drive remediation actions through to completion.

You'll also gain exposure to PCI DSS and wider security frameworks, supporting customer assessments, regulatory requirements and security assurance activities.

This isn't a role where you'll simply identify gaps and write reports. We want someone who can build relationships across the business, translate security requirements into practical actions and help get things fixed.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own the day-to-day coordination and continuous improvement of our ISMS.
• Support ISO 27001 certification, surveillance and internal audits.
• Coordinate audit evidence and work with stakeholders to close findings and remediation actions.
• Maintain security policies, procedures, controls and compliance documentation.
• Support PCI DSS and wider security compliance and assurance activities.
• Track and report on compliance status, risks, upcoming audits and outstanding actions.
• Help develop our approach across ISO 27017, ISO 27018 and ISO 22301.

Requirements

About You

You'll have practical experience working with ISO 27001 and an ISMS, ideally including audit preparation, evidence management and remediation.

You'll understand information security governance, risk and compliance and be confident working with both technical and non-technical teams.

You'll be organised, pragmatic and comfortable taking ownership. Just as importantly, you'll be able to explain security requirements clearly and build relationships with the people responsible for implementing them.

Experience with PCI DSS, security audits, ISO 27017/27018/22301 or working within a regulated technology environment would be a bonus.

Qualifications such as ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor, CISA, CRISC or CISSP are welcome, but they're not essential.

Why Vix?

You'll work on security that has genuine real-world impact, protecting technology behind public transport and payment systems used by millions of passengers.

You'll join an international security organisation, work with colleagues around the world and build your experience across GRC, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, risk, audit and assurance.

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, continue developing and make a visible difference to how security is managed, we'd love to hear from you.
