Senior Security Manager

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.

The role is based in London (Hybrid) with 2 days in the office and offers a competitive salary plus benefits. You’ll make a real difference for our customers and your team from day one. We believe the fastest way to grow is by doing, so we give you the ownership to run with things and see real-time results.

• Build, manage, and mentor a team of Security Engineers with a focus on security operations, threat hunting and risk management.
• Drive company and project goals, prioritise resources, and ensure timely delivery.
• Implement effective security processes, technology, and policies for sustained growth.

• Forge deep bonds with your business counterparts, understanding their needs and sharing ownership of their outcomes.
• Be generous with your time and expertise to teach stakeholders and fellow Circlers how to answer their own questions.

What we’re looking for: We value deep expertise, but a growth mindset and good energy are what really make our team click. We’re a group that chooses to lift each other up and think smart every day.

• 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.
• Professional experience in attack surface management, security threat hunting and incident response whilst implementing security awareness programs across a business.
• 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.
• Direct experience of vendor risk management.

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.

Why join us? We back you to build an incredible career. As a flexible-first employer, we use a “best of both” approach. We’ll see you in our London office to collaborate – with barista coffee and subsidised Just Eat lunches on us!
