About the Opportunity
We’re partnering with a fast-growing European technology platform operating at meaningful scale across multiple markets. The business powers digital commerce infrastructure for thousands of independent merchants and is undergoing significant platform and operational evolution. Security is increasingly central to the company’s growth journey. This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly visible, broad-scope role where you will shape and operationalise modern security practices across the organisation.
This is not a purely advisory, audit, or policy-writing position. The business is looking for a pragmatic, hands‑on security leader who enjoys building, implementing, influencing, and driving measurable progress. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, Legal, and senior leadership to strengthen security maturity, improve resilience, and embed scalable security practices into day‑to‑day operations. The environment is collaborative, fast‑moving, and highly outcome‑oriented, with strong executive sponsorship and real appetite for improvement.
Why This Role
- Opportunity to build and shape security in a scaling European technology business
- High visibility with senior leadership and direct influence on company‑wide priorities
- Broad scope spanning governance, engineering security, cloud, identity, compliance, vendor risk, and operational resilience
- Strong balance between strategic ownership and hands‑on execution
- Security seen as a business enabler, not a blocker
- Opportunity to mature security foundations while helping the company scale confidently
- International product and engineering environment with meaningful technical complexity
What You’ll Own
- Driving the company’s information security and compliance roadmap
- Building pragmatic, scalable security policies, controls, and operating practices
