Role
Who you are
- We believe that no one is the finished article - however, some experience in the following is important for this role:
- A proven track record of implementing security programmes in dynamic, fast-growing environments, particularly at the "startup" to "scaleup" bridge
- Strong working knowledge of ISO27001, UK GDPR, and broader frameworks such as NIST, ISO31000, and CIS controls
- Experience managing external audits and vendor/third-party security risk assessments
- Familiarity with AI compliance considerations - experience with ISO42001 or the EU AI Act is a bonus, but a genuine enthusiasm for navigating this evolving landscape is essential
- You thrive at the intersection of compliance, technology, and people - equally comfortable in the weeds of a technical platform and in the room securing organisational buy-in
- You are excited about Ophelos' mission to support households and businesses in breaking the vicious debt cycle
What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced and strategic Information Security Manager to lead our newly forming Security & Compliance team
- Reporting to the Engineering Director of Ophelos Tech, you will be joining Ophelos at a pivotal moment - we've consistently excelled at meeting compliance obligations (our previous ISO27001 audit came back with zero findings!), but we're now moving into a new AI-powered world with evolving compliance requirements to navigate and remediate
- Ophelos Tech is an AI-first technical organisation, and our platform makes significant use of LLM agents both in development and production contexts
- A major part of this role will be ensuring their use is safe, compliant, and that the right guardrails are in place
- You'll be working at the bridge between "startup" and "scaleup", where introducing security discipline to a fast-moving technical organisation becomes paramount
- This role requires significant self-direction - you will need to surface security issues proactively, prioritise them effectively, and facilitate their remediation across the organisation
- Lead. Build and shape our new Security & Compliance team, managing and coaching your reports as they grow their careers within the organisation
- Own our security and compliance posture - maintaining and advancing our ISO27001 certification, UK GDPR obligations, and navigating broader frameworks including NIST, ISO31000, and CIS controls
- Partner with our Product-Engineering teams to ensure our AI-native platform operates with appropriate security guardrails and controls, with privacy-by-design embedded from the start
- Stay ahead of emerging AI compliance standards such as ISO42001 and the EU AI Act, and manage external audits and certification renewals end-to-end
- Drive security incident response efforts, leveraging observability tooling (Datadog and incident.io) to enhance monitoring and build meaningful dashboards and metrics
- Foster a security-aware culture across the organisation through training, awareness programmes, and cross-functional collaboration

Our take
Debt is a major issue in the UK, with over 300 people declared insolvent every day and millions of households struggling with low savings or lacking basic appliances. Yet, debt collection practices haven't changed much in a century.
Ophelos launched in 2021 to fix that, and by 2023, it was acquired by Interum, Europe's largest credit management firm. The team brings experience from top companies like Monzo, Google, and IBM, and works closely with leading universities to drive innovation in finance and AI.
Ophelos is redesigning how debt is handled, using a digital-first, AI-driven approach that helps people pay off debt affordably while giving businesses smarter insights. And clients like Octopus Energy and Scottish Power are already using their platform to improve the customer experience.
Backed by top investors and now part of Interum, Ophelos has expanded into 17 European markets, scaling its missions to make debt recovery fairer and more human.
