Head of Information Security

💰 £100k-£120k

📍 Salary based on London. Other locations may vary.

Fanvue is one of the fastest-growing creator monetisation platforms globally. We're an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale. Following our recent Series A, Fanvue has surpassed $200m+ in annual recurring revenue, with triple-digit year-on-year growth, supporting hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.

As we grow into payments infrastructure, new verticals and AI tools that work with sensitive data, security has to grow with us.

🎯 The Role

We're hiring a Head of Security to own security across Fanvue. This is a head-of role, not a CISO. Our technical foundations are in place, built and run by our technical security lead. What we need is someone who owns the decisions around them: who has access to what, which third parties we trust, and whether security gets the focus it needs. You'll set the security roadmap, direct our technical security lead's priorities, and build the team as the function grows.

You'll sit in Operations and work closely with engineering, the People team and every department head. You'll be the person who says "this matters, this needs time" and makes sure it happens.

🚀 What You'll Do

Access and governance

• Decide what access each role and team should hold, agree it with department heads and keep it right over time

• Build the joiner, mover and leaver process with the People team so access follows the org chart

• Write our security policies and run regular access reviews across every department

• Work with our technical security lead to turn access decisions into controls

Third parties and certification

• Approve vendors, tools and AI apps before they touch our data, and keep a live third-party register

• Run security due diligence on payment and platform partners

• Lead our path to SOC 2 and ISO 27001, from gap assessment to choosing tooling

Risk and culture

• Own the security risk register and report on it to the exec team

• Own the response to security incidents. Engineering incidents and on-call stay with the engineering team

• Run security awareness across the company, from phishing to safe credential sharing

Roadmap and team

• Set the security roadmap and direct the priorities of our technical security lead

• Build the security team as the function grows

📅 Your First Six Months

• 30 days: handover with our technical security lead and the Ops and People teams. Take over day-to-day security management of our core tools, including Google Workspace, Okta and 1Password

• 3 months: review access across every role and team in the business and rework it where it needs to change

• 6 months: the security roadmap and risk register are live and reported on to the exec team, and the function is yours

👀 Who You Are

• You've owned security at head-of level, with a strong track record to show for it

• Strong on governance, access management and process, and credible enough with engineers to coordinate technical work

• Comfortable pushing priorities across departments until they're done

• Pragmatic. You keep controls tight without slowing the business down

• A clear communicator who explains risk to non-technical teams and to execs

• Payments, fintech or high-risk platform experience is a strong plus

• SOC 2 or ISO 27001 delivery experience is a strong plus

• AI-forward, you use AI tools in your own workflow

✨ You'll Thrive Here If

• You want to own security, not advise on it

• You enjoy building frameworks where there are none yet

• You're happy being the voice that says security needs time, and holding the line

• You like working across every team, not just engineering

⚠️ You'll Struggle Here If

• You want a C-suite title, or need a large team in place before you can be effective

• You'd rather write infrastructure code than own policy and governance

• You see controls as a reason to slow the business down

• You need an established security programme in place before you can be effective
