About the role

We’re looking for a detail-driven Information Security Analyst to support and develop our Information Security Management System (ISMS). Over the next year you’ll help keep us audit ready, manage evidence and make sure our security processes run smoothly as the team continues to grow.

• Support internal and external audits by gathering and organising evidence.
• Take part in risk and supplier reviews and keep actions on track.
• Keep policies, procedures and registers up to date.
• Help with security awareness activities across the team.
• Work with colleagues across technical and non‑technical teams to embed good security habits.
• Identify opportunities to make assurance and compliance processes more efficient.
• Your work will help maintain our ISO 27001 certification and strengthen everyday security practices across Electroverse

What You'll Need

• Understanding of how an ISMS operates and knowledge of standards such as ISO27001.
• Experience and strong interest in governance, risk and compliance and audit work.
• A good grasp of key information security and data protection ideas.
• Great organisation and attention to detail.
• Clear communication skills and the confidence to work with different teams.
• A practical, flexible approach that suits a busy environment.

What May Help

• Familiarity across frameworks like SOC 2, NIST and COBIT.
• Hands‑on experience supporting ISMS audits and certifications such as ISO 27001.
• Experience with supplier assurance and third‑party risk management.
• Familiarity with cloud and SaaS platforms such as AWS and Google Workspace.
