The Opportunity

working for one of the UKs most exciting and bleeding edge AI and computer vision technology businesses. This is one of the most exciting and innovative small businesses, with a product that stuns its audiences.

With a host of new customers, and data at the core of the product we're looking for an experienced manager to ensure everything not only runs smoothly, but is essential to new customer partnerships.

The Job

If you're at your best when everything is organised, evidenced and audit-ready, this is the sort of role where your work genuinely matters. You'll sit at the centre of governance, risk and compliance for a growing technology business, helping make sure certifications, controls and assurance activities stand up to scrutiny every day, not just when an audit is looming.

You'll work closely with senior leadership, commercial teams and delivery functions, giving you visibility across the business and real influence over how compliance is embedded into projects, bids and operational decision-making.

It's a hands-on position for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity and turning good intentions into practical action.

• Maintain and improve ISO 27001, 9001, 22301, 14001 and 42001 compliance evidence, policies and control mappings.
• Own key governance activities including risk registers, DPIAs, internal audits, DSPT submissions and Cyber Essentials Plus recertification.
• Support supplier assurance, client questionnaires and pre-sales activity, ensuring responses are accurate, consistent and defensible.
• Drive compliance adoption through training, change reviews and ongoing monitoring of control effectiveness.

What You'll Need to Bring

• Previous experience in governance, risk, compliance or information security within a technology or regulated environment.
• Strong knowledge of ISO 27001 and exposure to wider management system standards.
• Practical understanding of GDPR, data protection requirements and DPIA processes.
• A detail-focused and commercially aware approach, with the confidence to work across technical, delivery and commercial teams
