Director of Information Security – FinTech / SaaS
London (Remote-first, with occasional office travel)
We’re partnered with a fast-growing FinTech/SaaS business on the search for a Director of Information Security—a strategic hire to lead their security function as the company scales across new markets and product lines.
This is a high-impact role for someone who’s equally confident defining security strategy as they are rolling up their sleeves to get into the technical detail when needed.
About the Role
As Director of Information Security, you’ll be responsible for owning and evolving the company’s security posture across people, process, and technology. You’ll work closely with leadership, product, and engineering teams to ensure security is embedded across the business—from architecture and operations to compliance and culture.
* Lead the development and execution of the overall security strategy
* Own and manage risk across infrastructure, applications, and data
* Drive compliance efforts (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.) and support audit readiness
* Build security awareness across the company, including training and best practices
* Work closely with engineering to embed security into the SDLC and product roadmap
* Manage incident response, vulnerability management, and third-party risk processes
* Act as a key stakeholder in board-level and customer-facing security discussions
* Strong background in information security within a fintech, SaaS, or cloud-native environment
* Proven experience developing and leading security programmes in a scaling business
* Hands-on knowledge of cloud (AWS, GCP or Azure), application security, and security tooling
* Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders
* A strategic mindset, but comfortable working in a hands-on, high-growth environment
* Remote-first with travel to the London office just a couple of times per month
* Collaborative, inclusive culture with strong backing from leadership on security initiatives
* Genuine opportunities for impact, growth, and long-term equity potential
If you're a security leader looking for a fresh challenge in a product-focused, fast-scaling environment—we’d love to speak with you.
