Senior Security Manager in London

We’re on a mission to back the UK’s small businesses like no one else. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and we’re here to help them win. We’ve built a platform that uses clever data to get them the funding they need in minutes, not weeks. At Funding Circle, we have the restless energy of a fintech start-up with the stability of a public company. It’s a unique mix that gives Circlers the autonomy to take ownership and the scale to make an impact that truly counts. We’re a high‑performing team that chooses to lift each other up. We challenge, we champion, and we have each other’s backs – because we know that when we stand together, we move faster and build better. The impact is real: Last year alone, the businesses on our platform generated £7.2bn for the UK economy.

• Forge deep bonds with your business counterparts, understanding their needs and sharing ownership of their outcomes.

• Extensive experience with a modern security stack, including hands‑on experience of SIEM & SOAR technologies, EDR & CASB solutions.
• Experience within a fast-paced security operations environment, providing a thorough understanding of the MITRE ATT&CK framework, NIST CSF, ISO27k and PCI and their correct application to businesses.
• Confidence working with both technical and business stakeholders to translate security needs to business needs, taking a pragmatic approach to security and risk.
• Assisting / leading 3rd party security audits & due diligence.

• Proficient technical security understanding of Cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP or Azure as well as data engineering tools and concepts and the following tooling platforms - CSPM, CIEM & DSPM.

We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you.
