We are hiring a Senior GRC Analyst to support and enhance our global governance, risk, and compliance programme.

• Support external audits and certifications (e.g. ISO 27001 surveillance/recertification audits, SOC 2 assessments), including evidence collection, control walkthroughs, and auditor coordination.
• Develop, review, and maintain security policies, standards, and procedures to ensure they remain current, effective, and aligned to business and regulatory requirements.
• Perform assurance activities to validate control design and operating effectiveness, identifying gaps and driving remediation plans where needed.
• Operate and improve the third-party risk management programme, including supplier risk assessments, due diligence reviews, and ongoing monitoring of critical vendors.
• Track and report on compliance metrics, audit findings, risk trends, and remediation progress to Information Security leadership and relevant governance forums.
• Partner with Engineering, Product, Privacy, Legal, People Team, and other business units to embed security and compliance requirements into processes and initiatives.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across the GRC function, helping to streamline processes, enhance tooling, and improve reporting and visibility.

You have:

• Hands-on experience supporting ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audits, including evidence gathering, control documentation, and auditor engagement.
• Strong understanding of risk management principles and experience conducting structured risk assessments and driving remediation activities.
• Experience reviewing and testing security controls across corporate and cloud-based environments.
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, Azure or GCP) and how compliance requirements apply in cloud-native environments.
• Familiarity with third-party risk management processes and supplier assurance activities.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate regulatory and technical requirements into clear, practical guidance for business stakeholders.
• Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple audits, assessments, and projects concurrently.
