- Lead on security incident and data breach responses by assessing their severity and business impact, crafting remediation plans, fostering stakeholder collaboration, and keeping internal and external parties informed with updates
- Advise and provide support to other departments across the organisation on an ad-hoc basis
- Working closely alongside our Product teams by supporting them in creating secure and compliant products, this requires a true passion for understanding how all Accurx products work

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Communication between patients and nurses/doctors has typically happened via telephone call or post. This outdated technology is costly and doesn't exactly provide a great experience. Accurx has stepped in to solve this problem with its communication and collaboration platform.
Accurx allows GPs and other healthcare providers to communicate more efficiently with their patients and with each other in order to deliver top-quality care. Its products are now used in over 95% of GP practices, a huge testament to the value of Accurx's platform.
Since raising considerable funding, Accurx has been focused on growing its team and developing its products, including batch messaging between clinics and patients, to help care sites ease the burden of long wait lists and understaffing. Alongside this, the platform recently partnered up with Tandem Health to launch an AI scribe tool for use across the NHS, so GP practices can save valuable time. Together, these developments put Accurx ins a strong position for even more growth and impact across the healthcare sector.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Accurx
- Each health system is made up of a diverse workforce, serving 100% of the population. We are building for them, not us. We can only transform health systems if we build a diverse team, rich with different backgrounds, opinions and personalities.
- We particularly welcome applications from those who are significantly underrepresented in the technology sector, such as women, trans people, non-binary people, people with disabilities and people from black and underrepresented ethnic communities.
