️ Head of CyberSecurity & DevSecOps (FinTech SaaS) - UK Remote

A fast-growing, established FinTech firm is seeking a Head of CyberSecurity / DevSecOps to own the security and resilience of its market‑leading SaaS platform.

This role is critical for scaling the platform to meet the demanding security standards of Tier One banking clients.

• Location: Remote‑friendly (UK) with occasional travel for team meetings (London/Birmingham) or to client sites (Canary Wharf/banks) if London‑based.
• Salary: Up to £125,000 (dependent on experience) + Equity Share Options.

❓Does this sound like you?

• Are you a product‑focused security leader with deep experience in the multi‑tenant SaaS world?
• Do you thrive on solving complex data governance and compliance challenges within a highly regulated environment?

The Opportunity

You will join a dynamic team, directly influencing the technical and product security strategy. We are looking for a hands‑on leader who can move beyond corporate security to focus on product‑level security decision‑making, ensuring data isolation, auditing, and threat assessment for new features.

This is a key leadership role where you will be managing the security risks associated with Tier One banking compliance. Ideally, this person would become the main point of contact for Tier One banking clients regarding security/governance, taking over from the CLO, but this is not a strict requirement.

What You Will Be Doing ️

• Product Security Focus: Own the security of the SaaS product sold to clients, not just the underlying infrastructure. ☁️
• Tier One Compliance & Governance: Take on the challenge of dealing with Tier One level banking compliance and managing the related supplier risk and data governance for these clients. ✅
• Threat Assessment: Conduct a deep, "ground‑up" threat assessment of the current estate.
• Resilience: Drive the achievement of multi‑region AWS resilience to withstand an AWS region failure.
• Automation & Compliance: Streamline and automate manual processes for demonstrating compliance (e.g., SOC 2, Cyber Essential Plus).
• Team Leadership: Manage the overall AWS footprint and control (DevOps‑style functions) and lead a small, growing team of DevSecOps Engineers.

What You Will Bring ✨

• SaaS Multi‑Tenant Expertise: Proven experience in a multi‑tenant SaaS environment, particularly within a heavily regulated industry like financial services/banking.
• Product Security Mindset: A focus on product security, understanding the risks associated with rolling out new features to different clients (Data Isolation/Feature Risk).
• Governance Experience: Specific experience with governance related to Tier One banking compliance is a major challenge area.
• Intellect, Curiosity, and Humbleness: A desire to ask questions and collaborate, avoiding a traditional "security cop" mindset.
• Technical Acumen: Experience managing the AWS footprint and control (DevOps‑style functions).
