PLEASE READ IN FULL BEFORE APPLYING. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DISQUALIFIED.

About the Opportunity

This is a hybrid role based in New York, USA. Candidates must already be based in the United States and either reside within commuting distance of New York or be willing to relocate.

Our client is a rapidly scaling international fintech focused on making cross-border money movement faster, simpler and more accessible.

Operating across the United States and Nigeria, the business has already acquired more than 100,000 users and is entering an exciting new phase of growth as it expands its product capabilities, technology infrastructure and international reach.

The organisation is building the next generation of payments, identity and financial technology solutions and is seeking ambitious individuals who want to play a meaningful role in shaping the future of the business.

As part of this next phase of growth, our client is seeking a Cyber Security Lead to help strengthen and mature the organisation's security posture across infrastructure, applications, cloud environments, operational processes and third-party relationships.

This is not a traditional corporate security role.

They are not simply looking for candidates with impressive company names on their CVs; they are seeking builders, operators and problem-solvers who thrive in fast-paced environments, take ownership without being asked, move quickly, execute effectively and have a proven track record of delivering meaningful outcomes.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys identifying risks, building practical security solutions, partnering closely with engineering teams and helping a rapidly growing fintech scale securely.
