Sr. Security Engineer - GRC Fintech & Financial Services EU/UK
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer specialising in Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) to support security and resilience across fintech and financial services environments in the UK and EU. This role will help strengthen risk management practices, maintain regulatory readiness and translate security requirements into practical, measurable controls. You will work closely with engineering, technology, legal, privacy, compliance and business teams to promote secure, compliant and resilient operations.
Your responsibilities will include leading security and technology risk assessments, identifying control gaps and coordinating remediation plans through to completion. You will develop, review and maintain security policies, standards, procedures and control frameworks aligned with requirements such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, CIS, DORA, the UK FCA regulatory landscape and applicable data protection obligations. You will support internal and external audits, customer due diligence, regulatory reviews and evidence collection, ensuring documentation is accurate, timely and audit-ready. The role will also involve assessing third-party and supplier risks, reviewing security questionnaires, monitoring control effectiveness and producing clear risk reports and metrics for senior stakeholders.
The successful candidate will bring significant experience in security governance, risk and compliance, ideally within fintech, banking, payments or another highly regulated environment. You should be confident interpreting UK and EU regulatory expectations and applying them to cloud, software development and operational environments. Strong knowledge of information security principles, risk methodologies, control testing, audit management and security assurance is essential. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor are advantageous. Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills are required, together with the ability to influence without direct authority, manage competing priorities and explain complex security matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
