Description:
IT Security Analyst
London
We are partnered exclusively with a stealth-mode, seed-funded fintech building critical security infrastructure for the financial industry.
This is their first dedicated security hire - a ground-floor opportunity to own the entire function, work directly with the founding team, and shape how security is built from day one.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Configuring, encrypting and managing all company devices to security baselines — MDM setup and ongoing management
- Assessing and validating the security posture of client-side setups and integrations
- Managing user access, permissions and authentication standards across internal systems
- Monitoring and hardening security configurations across cloud infrastructure
- Acting as first responder to security events - building and maintaining an incident response playbook
- Supporting the company's journey toward SOC 2 Type II compliance - liaising with auditors and maintaining evidence
- Educating the broader team on security hygiene, phishing risks and best practices.
What We're Looking For:
- 2-4 years in an IT security, security operations or IT support role with a strong security focus
- Practical experience with endpoint management and MDM tools (Jamf, Kandji, Mosyle or equivalent)
- Working knowledge of cloud platform security (AWS, GCP or similar)
- Understanding of identity and access management - SSO and MFA enforcement experience
- Familiarity with SOC 2 control frameworks, or genuine enthusiasm to get up to speed quickly
- Strong communicator - able to translate security requirements into plain language for non-technical stakeholders
- Self-starter mentality - comfortable owning a function without a large team around you
Bonus Points:
- Experience in fintech, financial services or another regulated industry
- Certifications such as CompTIA Security+, SC-900 or similar
- Prior startup experience - you understand pragmatic, risk-based security over bureaucracy
