Role
Who you are
- You have 3–5 years of hands-on experience in information security and risk management, ideally in health-tech or a regulated SaaS environment
- You've run risk sessions, owned a risk register, and prepared risk reporting for senior stakeholders
- You've worked through a Cyber Essentials Plus audit cycle yourself
- You understand cloud infrastructure, endpoint management, identity and access controls, and network boundaries well enough to hold your own in a technical conversation - you don't need to be a developer
- You have working knowledge of ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus, and know what "proportionate" looks like in a fast-moving product company
- You write and communicate clearly, structuring your thinking logically so people know what's expected of them and why
- You're comfortable working at pace and without extensive hand-holding, managing your own workload and flagging blockers early
- You care about what Accurx does, and understand that the data we protect belongs to patients and clinicians who trust us with it
What the job involves
- This role works day-to-day alongside the Senior Information Security Officer, who owns the GRC framework, ISO 27001 programme, CE+ and DSPT compliance, and the security risk register
- It provides dedicated capacity to push forward priority workstreams - particularly risk management, CE+ audit readiness, and data strategy delivery
- Own the security risk register: Facilitate risk assessment sessions with technical and non-technical stakeholders across the business, keep the register current and accurate, and prepare clear risk reporting that translates technical risk into business language
- Drive Cyber Essentials Plus readiness: Coordinate evidence gathering across IT, Platform and Security Engineering ahead of the CE+ deep-dive audit, reviewing controls against requirements and flagging gaps with practical remediation guidance
- Deliver our data classification programme: Work with data owners to classify information assets in line with policy, and push the access control programme forward by reviewing current access patterns and identifying gaps
- Keep risk treatment moving: Track risk treatment actions and follow up with owners so items progress rather than stall, managing milestones and blockers across the risk, CE+, and data workstreams
- Support the wider security programme: Contribute to ISO 27001 and DSPT activities where your work intersects, including evidence collection and control documentation, and support policy and process documentation as needed
- Be a translator between security and the business: Communicate security requirements clearly to engineers, and help non-technical stakeholders understand risk well enough to act on it
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.

- 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.
