Job description

Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his families’ pizzerias we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology services and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfil this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.

This position is open to applicants across all of the UK on a remote basis with the physical office located in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The Challenge to Solve

As a Senior GRC Specialist at Slice you will join the Information Security Compliance and Privacy team and play a key role in driving our security governance and compliance initiatives. You will help shape how Slice understands its security posture beyond purely technical controls ensuring our company remains protected while meeting the regulatory expectations of a growing global product portfolio.

The Role

You will lead and coordinate compliance activities across the organisation managing external and internal audits (PCI DSS, SOC 2, SOX) and supporting assessments against frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001 and US privacy regulations. You’ll work closely with Engineering, IT, Finance and Business teams to ensure our security controls are effective, practical and aligned with operational realities.

This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable switching between hands‑on execution, policy development and strategic advisory work. You will help ensure Slice remains compliant, secure and ready to meet the demands of future growth.

A typical week may include:

• Acting as a trusted advisor to teams across Slice on governance, risk and compliance topics
• Leading the preparation, evidence collection and follow‑up activities for audits
• Designing and maturing security controls and processes from third‑party risk management to access reviews
• Writing and updating corporate security policies and procedures
• Conducting vendor security reviews and supporting non‑technical security investigations
• Administering and improving security awareness training
• Tracking security projects and workstreams using tools like Shortcut, Google Docs, Sheets & Slides
• Collaborating cross‑functionally to drive a scalable and proactive GRC and Privacy programme

The Team

You’ll join a small but mighty team who are focused on governance, risk and security responsibilities across Slice. This position reports directly to the Head of Information Security and Compliance.

The Winning Recipe

We’re looking for driven people who know security and compliance and can lead programmes. These are the core competencies this role calls for:

• Deep understanding of IT and process controls
• Experience with PCI DSS, SOC 2, SOX or NIST‑based security controls
• Solid general cybersecurity knowledge
• Relevant certifications such as CISM, CISA or CISSP (or working toward them)
• Ability to own and manage projects and influence stakeholders
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
