We deliver only the best, so we are always in search of the best people to join our ever-growing talented team. As part of our continued investment in security and regulatory resilience, we are seeking a Security Architect to own the design of our enterprise security governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) framework. This is a senior, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of security architecture, multi-jurisdiction regulatory compliance, and organizational risk — shaping how a global fintech company regulated across five jurisdictions thinks about, measures, and reduces security risk. RESPONSIBILITIES: * Own the enterprise security GRC framework — policy hierarchy, risk register methodology, control ownership, and audit evidence structure. * Map controls to DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS, identify gaps, and set remediation priority. * Act as the final authority on regulatory interpretation affecting security, including written positions for audits and regulatory submissions. * Own the compliance and obligation management framework across all five regulated jurisdictions (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, SCB, SCA), including regulatory horizon scanning. * Represent the company in regulatory discussions alongside the CISO and General Counsel where required. * Define the company's human-risk philosophy and shape the security awareness architecture — segmentation, interventions, and measurement. * Advise the CISO, CHRO, Risk, and Compliance teams on security risk, regulatory obligations, and investment trade-offs. * Set the architectural standards the Corporate Security team executes against, and sign off on significant framework changes. * Support Third-Party Risk Management and Business Continuity & Crisis Management from a security and technical perspective. REQUIREMENTS: * 8+ years in security with a significant focus on GRC, regulatory compliance, riskmanagement, or a combination — with a track record of owning these programs at enterpriselevel, not just familiarity with them. * Proven experience designing enterprise-level security architectures or frameworks;experience in a regulated financial services environment (brokerage, payments, banking, orequivalent) is preferred but not required. * Deep command of ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS (working knowledge of DORA and NIS2preferred), with the ability to translate regulatory text into specific controls, identify gaps, anddetermine what is mandatory versus discretionary. * Multi-jurisdiction compliance experience; direct exposure to FCA or CySEC is a strongadvantage. * Demonstrated ability to advise and influence C-suite stakeholders on complex security andregulatory matters. * A structured, analytical thinking style — able to hold multiple regulatory regimessimultaneously without losing precision on any of them. * Fluent English, written and spoken. NICE TO HAVE: * Direct experience managing regulatory submissions or engaging with supervisory authorities(FCA, CySEC, ASIC, SCB, or SCA). * TPRM program design experience, including DORA ICT third-party risk requirements andsupply chain risk. * Business Continuity Management background, with experience meeting operational resilienceobligations and presenting at Board level. * Security awareness program design with measurable behaviour-change outcomes. * Experience building or scaling a Corporate Security function from an early stage. * Relevant professional certifications (CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent).
