Job Description

Corporate IT & Cloud Compliance Manager

Location: UK-based remote initially, with travel to London (up to 2 days per week after c.12 months, potentially 3 days as the business scales)Salary c £35 - £45 k pa + bens,

The Opportunity

We’re supporting a cloud- SaaS business operating in the private equity and financial services space, as they look to appoint their first dedicated Corporate IT & Cloud Compliance Manager.

This is a genuinely hands-on, hybrid role that combines corporate IT administration with cloud security and compliance ownership. The business is moving from an early-stage setup into its next phase of growth and wants a pragmatic, capable individual to take ownership of internal IT, security tooling and audit readiness — without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.

You’ll be working in a modern, Microsoft-first Azure PaaS environment, supporting a distributed team of ~30 people (growing to ~45), with high visibility and direct access to senior stakeholders.

The Role

This role sits at the intersection of IT operations, cloud security and compliance. You’ll own day-to-day corporate IT, while also coordinating SOC and ISO activity, supporting audits, and acting as a trusted technical point of contact for both internal teams and external clients when needed.

It is not a DevOps or product engineering role — but you will need to be technically confident, comfortable with scripting and automation, and able to explain infrastructure and security concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.

Key Responsibilities

Corporate IT & Management

Own and manage the Microsoft 365 estate (Entra ID / Azure AD, Exchange, Teams, SharePoint)

Manage joiners, movers and leavers across systems

Enforce MFA, conditional access and security best practice

Manage endpoint security and device policies using Intune

Laptop procurement, asset tracking and logistics for a remote workforce

Cloud Security & Monitoring

Configure and manage Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel

Maintain security policies and alerting

Review logs, alerts and recommendations, working with engineering teams on remediation

Support access management across Azure subscriptions, ensuring separation between prod and non-prod environments

Compliance & Audit Coordination

Own and coordinate SOC 1 / SOC 2 and ISO 27001 activity

Manage certificate renewals and ongoing compliance obligations

Use compliance tooling (e.g. Drata or similar) to collect and manage audit evidence

Act as the primary point of contact for auditors and client security due diligence

Maintain policies, procedures and audit-ready documentation

SaaS & Vendor Governance

Maintain an inventory of internal SaaS tools and third-party vendors

Manage licences, permissions and access reviews

Collect vendor SOC reports, ISO certificates and security questionnaires

Support vendor risk assessments and client due-diligence requests

Stakeholder & Client Engagement

Liaise with external customers on access configuration and platform security queries

Join client calls where needed to explain infrastructure and security design to technical stakeholders

Provide clear reporting and updates to senior leadership

Reporting & Insight

Build and maintain Power BI dashboards covering security posture, compliance status and IT KPIs

Provide visibility of risks, readiness and improvement areas

Nice to Have (Not Essential)

Exposure to Azure cost monitoring / FinOps

Coordination of penetration testing

Security awareness training

Business continuity and disaster recovery documentation

What We’re Looking For

3–5 years’ experience in a hands-on IT, cloud security or compliance-focused role

Strong experience with Microsoft 365 and Azure

Practical exposure to SOC 1 / SOC 2, ISO 27001 or similar frameworks

Experience in a startup or scale-up SaaS environment

Comfortable doing some scripting / shell / low-code automation

Excellent communication skills — able to engage with customers and senior internal stakeholders

Proactive, pragmatic and delivery-focused mindset

Degree-educated (BSc Computer Science or related technical / mathematical discipline )

Why Apply?

High ownership role with real influence across the business

Modern, Azure-first cloud environment

Minimal bureaucracy — common-sense approach to security and compliance

Opportunity to shape and grow the role as the company scales

Remote-first culture with sensible, planned office collaboration in London
