Job Description Vantage Compute is looking for a Senior Information Security Engineer to join the Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team.

The successful candidate will combine strong GRC expertise with a technical, engineering mindset - someone who can drive compliance programmes across multiple frameworks while also stepping into complex technical topics such as business continuity, AI security, and cloud compliance.

Responsibilities Governance, Risk & Compliance Identify manual, repetitive GRC processes and design automation blueprints to streamline them, including evidence collection, control monitoring, access reviews, policy enforcement checks, and compliance reporting Build and maintain automated workflows using compliance platforms, scripting, or integration tools to reduce manual effort and improve audit-readiness Develop reusable templates, playbooks, and standardised blueprints for recurring GRC activities (e.g., vendor assessments, internal audits, risk reviews) to ensure consistency and scalability. Collaborate with engineering and IT teams to integrate security and compliance checks into existing toolchains and CI/CD pipelines where applicable Continuously evaluate and improve GRC tooling, data flows, and reporting to drive operational efficiency across the team Manage stakeholder expectations and partner with internal teams to ensure effective management of IT risks and compliance obligations Maintain regional and local stakeholder relationships, meeting schedules, minutes, and reports.
