Information Security & Risk Management Lead Responsibilities

As our Information Security & Risk Management Lead at Natter you will…

1. Have ownership of our information security and risk management policies and procedures, working to ensure these meet the risk-related expectations of enterprise customers (including, e.g. incident response, vulnerability management, vendor and asset management, system access and backup, business continuity and disaster recovery).
2. Lead efforts to build credibility with our customers’ information security, IT, legal, risk and data teams, including acting as the working level contact to complete their vendor assessment exercises, negotiate and enact data processing or related agreements and address ongoing compliance check-ins.
3. Maintain and report on our compliance with our ISO 27001 certification, GDPR and any future AI-related legal or risk-related requirements, working cross-functionally and proactively to avoid policy and procedure-related non-conformities.
4. Manage our IT and other risk management policies (including e.g. physical security, data classification, retention and backup), adopting a pragmatic mindset that balances the need to identify, manage and escalate risk with our ambitious commercial objectives.
5. Collaborate with our Engineering and Product teams to put security and data protection at the forefront of how we design, build and maintain our products to stay in line with industry best practices and evolving customer expectations.
6. Lead efforts to upskill commercial-facing teams on specialist subject matter to ensure all our people understand and can communicate our posture to external parties effectively.
7. Work closely with senior leaders to further embed security and the appropriate evaluation of risk as part of Natter’s DNA.

We’d love to hear from you if you have…

1. 5+ years' varied experience in information security, data protection, risk management, enterprise IT, legal or (relevant) compliance roles.
2. Hands-on experience building credibility with external stakeholders, including enterprise clients, critical system vendors, certification auditors and regulatory bodies.
3. Proven experience shepherding a B2B SaaS product with the potential to capture special category data through enterprise-grade vendor assessment exercises and data processing-related legal negotiations.
4. A high level of understanding and experience in how to maintain IT, security, monitoring and logging tools and continuous compliance platforms.
5. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain sometimes complex concepts to non-specialist stakeholders.
6. A proactive and solution-oriented mindset, with a strong attention to detail.
7. Given the variety of this role (spanning both operational policy and more technical procedure), those with an intellectually curious mindset who can adapt under pressure and use limited resources effectively are likely to succeed. Whilst experience working at an early stage start-up is not necessarily required, tangible experience operating in fast-paced, sometimes fluid working environment requiring proactivity, accountability and pragmatism is highly desirable.
