Bath (Hybrid – 2/3 Days Onsite)

Up to £60,000 Base + Bonus + Benefits + Stock Options

We are currently supporting a growing technology business in the search for a Technical Compliance Manager to join their Product Engineering function.

The business operates within a modern cloud-native environment and works with globally recognised technology and payments partners. Following continued growth and increasing enterprise demand, they are looking to strengthen their compliance, governance, and security capability with a strategic technical hire.

This is a highly visible role sitting between Engineering, Product, Operations, and enterprise customers. The successful individual will take ownership of the company’s technical compliance and governance programme, helping embed security-by-design principles across the organisation rather than operating within a purely “checkbox compliance” environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and manage the organisation’s compliance and governance programme
• Maintain and improve the ISO27001-certified ISMS
• Act as the lead contact for audits, security assurance, governance, and compliance activities
• Support enterprise customer onboarding, security reviews, and technical RFP responses
• Work closely with Engineering and Product teams to ensure security and compliance controls are effectively embedded
• Oversee risk management, policy management, incident management, and governance processes
• Support GDPR and wider regulatory compliance activities including DORA readiness
• Conduct supplier and vendor security reviews
• Improve compliance tooling, evidence management, and workflow automation
• Drive continuous improvement across governance, operational security, and technical compliance processes

What They’re Looking For:

• Experience within Technical Compliance, Information Security, Cloud Security, DevSecOps, or GRC environments
• Strong understanding of frameworks such as ISO27001, SOC2, GDPR, and modern security governance practices
• Experience operating within cloud/SaaS or technology-led businesses
• Ability to work cross-functionally with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience supporting customer security questionnaires, enterprise assurance processes, or technical compliance reviews
• A pragmatic, commercially aware approach to security and compliance

Desirable:

• Exposure to DevSecOps, CI/CD, IaC, Terraform, or cloud security tooling
• Experience within fintech, payments, SaaS, or scale-up environments
• Experience leading or supporting ISO27001/SOC2 certification processes

This role would suit someone looking to step into a highly impactful position where they can shape and influence technical compliance strategy within a scaling technology business.
