Job description

Role: Head of IT (Security, Compliance & Infrastructure)

Location: London (Hybrid, 1 day per week)


Do you have a passion for building secure systems and driving compliance across dynamic, fast-paced tech environments, in a high growth scale-up?


A high-growth scale-up SaaS business is looking for an accomplished Head of IT to take ownership of its infrastructure and security landscape. If you're a strategic leader with a hands-on approach and a passion for secure, streamlined operations, this could be the perfect role.


The Role


This senior position will see you overseeing IT operations and advancing a robust information security framework. You’ll work cross-functionally to ensure compliance, reduce risk, and introduce efficiencies throughout the organisation.


Key Responsibilities


  • Lead and manage internal IT systems, infrastructure, and information security practices.


  • Oversee compliance with recognised standards such as GDPR, ISO27001:2022, Cyber Essentials, and SOC2 Type II.


  • Coordinate audit readiness, compile evidence, liaise with auditors, and address any gaps or risks.


  • Collaborate with engineering teams to embed secure coding practices and tackle vulnerabilities.


  • Manage security assessments, audit responses, and incident investigations.


  • Run regular penetration testing, disaster recovery simulations, and security awareness training.


  • Streamline access controls, onboarding/offboarding processes, and device compliance using SSO/SCIM and MDM platforms.


  • Conduct third-party risk reviews and manage SaaS vendor compliance.


  • Monitor and respond to evolving cyber threats, providing advice to senior stakeholders.


Ideal Profile


  • 5+ years of experience in enterprise IT or information security — ideally within SaaS, B2B, or fast-paced environments.


  • Deep knowledge of compliance frameworks and IT governance.


  • Understanding of third-party risk management, incident response, and security operations.


  • Strong experience with MacOS administration tools (JAMF preferred).


  • Familiarity with modern cloud environments, particularly Azure.


  • Proficient in scripting languages such as Python or Shell.


  • Clear and confident communicator, able to engage both technical and non-technical colleagues.


Why Apply?


This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact in a company that values secure growth and operational excellence. You’ll help shape the future of its technology landscape and play a key role in its journey.
