Shape trust at scale

This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a broad security role where you’ll build real expertise across governance, risk, compliance, partner assurance and audit readiness. You’ll work at the centre of a growing global business, helping teams stay audit‑ready while also improving how work gets done through smarter processes and practical use of AI tools.

For someone who enjoys variety, ownership and learning quickly, this role offers genuine room to grow while new technology and new ways of working continue to evolve around you.

What you’ll be doing

• Keep our audit and assessment activity moving by gathering, organising and validating evidence for key security and compliance programmes, while working closely with stakeholders across the business.
• Manage the day‑to‑day rhythm of governance, risk and compliance activity, including maintaining the Trust Center, supporting partner assurance requests and helping track risks and action plans through to completion.
• Own the security exception workflow, reviewing business context, coordinating with colleagues and helping create a reliable, scalable process around approvals, tracking and follow‑up.
• Partner with teams across the organisation to strengthen control implementation, improve documentation and encourage practical, sustainable ways of working.
• Produce clear operational metrics and use them to help the team see what is working, where friction exists and where processes can improve.
• Use AI tools thoughtfully to accelerate documentation, drafting, evidence collection and analysis without losing quality or clarity.

Why this role matters

You’ll make audits smoother, improve operational reliability, support partner‑facing assurance activity and help create stronger foundations for the future of security at Pax8.

What you’ll bring

• Reasonable experience in governance, risk and compliance, security compliance, or internal or external audit within a technology‑led environment.
• Practical knowledge of standards and audit activity such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2, with confidence handling evidence, documentation and follow‑through.
• A self‑starting, independent approach with the ability to structure work, build project plans and keep momentum across multiple priorities.
• Clear, polished written communication and the judgement to tailor information for different audiences.
• Confidence working across different teams, building relationships and navigating situations where stakeholders may need support or challenge.
• Comfort using AI tools to improve productivity and quality in documentation and analysis.
• An interest in cloud, software or consultancy environments, where pace is high and curiosity matters.
