Summary

Overview

Corporate IT & Cloud Compliance Manager

Salary: £45,000 – £70,000 (depending on experience)
Location: UK-based remote initially, with travel to London (up to 2 days per week after c.12 months, potentially increasing to 3 days as the business scales)

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a cloud-native SaaS business operating in the financial services / private equity space, as they prepare to hire a Corporate IT & Cloud Compliance Manager to take ownership of internal IT, cloud security and compliance.

This is a key hire as the business scales. The environment is highly technical, with engineering and product teams who expect decisions, explanations and delivery to be held to a strong technical standard. This is very different from a traditional non-tech or heavily outsourced corporate IT setup — you’ll be working alongside people who understand cloud platforms, security concepts and modern SaaS operations.

The role combines hands-on corporate IT with security and compliance ownership, offering real visibility, autonomy and the chance to shape how IT and compliance mature as the organisation grows.

The Role

This is a deliberately hybrid position, sitting between IT administration, Azure security and compliance coordination.

You’ll own the Microsoft 365 and Azure corporate environment, manage identity and access, configure security tooling, and lead SOC / ISO activity. You’ll also act as a trusted point of contact for internal stakeholders and, at times, external customers when explaining infrastructure or access models.

It is not a DevOps or product engineering role — but you will need to be technically credible, comfortable with scripting and automation, and able to operate confidently in a technically sophisticated SaaS business.

Key Responsibilities

Corporate IT & Identity Management

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

  • Manage joiners, movers and leavers across all systems

  • Enforce MFA, conditional access and security best practice

  • Manage endpoint security and device policies via Intune

  • Laptop procurement, asset tracking and logistics for a distributed workforce (c.30 users, growing to ~45)

Cloud Security & Monitoring

  • Configure and operate Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel

  • Maintain cyber security policies, alerting and monitoring

  • Review security alerts and logs, coordinating remediation with engineering teams

  • Manage access across Azure subscriptions, ensuring separation of production and non-production environments

Compliance & Audit Ownership

  • Own and coordinate SOC 1 / SOC 2 and ISO 27001 activities

  • Manage certificate renewals and ongoing due diligence requirements

  • 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 reviews

  • Maintain clear, structured compliance documentation and internal controls

SaaS & Vendor Governance

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

  • Manage licences, permissions and periodic 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 security queries

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

  • Provide clear, credible explanations suited to a technically knowledgeable audience

Reporting & Insight

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

  • Provide leadership with regular visibility of risk, readiness and improvement areas

What We’re Looking For

  • Typically 5–10 years’ experience in a corporate IT, M365, cloud security or compliance-focused role

  • Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 and Azure

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

  • Background in a tech company or SaaS environment (important)

  • Comfortable doing light scripting, shell work or low-code automation

  • Able to operate credibly in a highly technical organisation

  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and senior non-technical stakeholders

  • Proactive, pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset

  • Degree-educated (BSc Computer Science or related technical discipline preferred)

Nice to Have (Not Essential)

  • Azure cost monitoring / FinOps exposure

  • Coordination of penetration testing

  • Security awareness training

  • Business continuity and disaster recovery documentation

Why Apply?

  • Salary range £45k–£70k, depending on experience

  • High-ownership role with strong visibility across the business

  • Modern, Azure-first SaaS environment

  • Minimal bureaucracy — pragmatic, outcomes-focused culture

  • Opportunity to shape and grow the role as the company scales

  • Remote-first, with sensible collaboration time in London over the longer term
