Right now we're looking for an <strong>Information Security GRC Specialist</strong> to play a key role in our <strong>Legal</strong> team in London. If that's you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.</p> </div> <h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.375rem] font-bold">Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">As our Information Security GRC Specialist you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of security compliance at GWI. Reporting into our General Counsel and working closely with our Information Security, Product, and Technology teams, you'll own our compliance posture across security frameworks, vendor risk, and client-facing security requirements — while building a security-conscious culture across the business.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">A few things you'll be responsible for:</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Own and maintain GWI's ISO 27001 certification and compliance across relevant security frameworks, keeping our posture sharp as the threat landscape evolves.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Develop, implement, and maintain information security policies and procedures aligned with industry best practices.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Lead vendor risk management and client security assessments — including responding to client security questionnaires and onboarding requirements.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Build and maintain GWI's security trust portal, showcasing our credentials to clients and stakeholders using tools such as Drata or Vanta.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Drive security awareness across the business through training programmes and internal communications that promote a strong GRC culture.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">It's also fun; shaking things up is what working for GWI is all about. You'll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment.</p> <h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.375rem] font-bold">What do I need to bring with me? 🧳</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. Here's what the team will be looking for in you:</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 In-depth, practical experience obtaining and maintaining ISO 27001 certification, with solid knowledge of frameworks such as NIST — typically 3–5 years in an information security compliance role, though other experience levels will be considered.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Proven ability to develop and maintain security policies and procedures that align with industry best practice.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Experience conducting vendor security assessments and managing client security onboarding requirements, balancing risk against commercial objectives.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Hands-on experience building or maintaining a security trust portal; familiarity with tools such as Drata or Vanta is a plus.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Knowledge of SaaS and AI environments, with experience implementing and managing cloud security best practices.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">👉 Strong communication skills — able to translate complex GRC topics into clear internal guidance and keep the wider business informed and engaged on security matters.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, and they're a big part of what we're looking for in you.</p> <h1>What We Offer 🧘</h1> <p>At GWI, you’ll find meaningful work, visible impact, and a culture that empowers you to do your best.
