Job description

Employment Type: Full-Time

Experience: 2–4 years

About the Role

We are looking for a GRC Analyst to join our Information Security and Compliance team. You will run day-to-day governance, risk and compliance activities — risk assessments, ISMS maintenance, audit evidence, and third-party security reviews — with senior support on the more complex work.

This is a hands-on delivery role rather than a first job in security. You should be comfortable running a vendor assessment or an evidence collection cycle without step-by-step direction.

Key Responsibilities

Governance & Policy

- Maintain the ISMS, control register and governance documentation.

- Draft and update security policies, standards and procedures.

- Coordinate security awareness activities and track governance actions.

Risk Management

- Run information security risk assessments and maintain the risk register.

- Track risk treatment plans and remediation through to closure.

- Manage the security exception process.

Compliance & Audit

- Support compliance activities across ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR.

- Collect and organise audit evidence; act as a point of contact during internal and external audits.

- Track audit and assessment findings to closure.

Third-Party Risk

- Run vendor security assessments and review supplier questionnaires.

- Maintain supplier risk records and follow up on third-party remediation.

Reporting

- Produce monthly security and compliance reporting for management.

- Maintain compliance dashboards and documentation repositories.

What We’re Looking For

- 2–4 years in information security, risk, compliance, audit or IT governance.

- Practical working knowledge of at least one major framework (ISO 27001, SOC 2 or NIST CSF).

- Working understanding of GDPR and data protection obligations.

- Confident with Excel and structured documentation; able to produce reporting for a management audience.

- Strong written communication and attention to detail.

- Comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Degree in cyber security, computer science, IT or a related discipline — or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

- Hands-on use of a GRC platform (Vanta, Drata, Hyperproof, OneTrust, ServiceNow GRC or Archer).

- Cloud security fundamentals (AWS or Azure), IAM and MFA concepts.

- Exposure to Cyber Essentials, CIS Controls or AI governance.

- Jira or Azure DevOps; Power BI or Excel dashboards.

- A certification such as ISC2 CC, CompTIA Security+, ISO 27001 Foundation / Lead Auditor or SC-900.

- German is a strong plus

What We Offer

- Ownership of real GRC workstreams across the full lifecycle.

- Mentorship from senior security professionals and support for certifications.

- Clear progression towards Senior GRC Analyst or Risk & Compliance Specialist.

- Collaborative and inclusive working environment.
