Description

About Us At Displayr, our mission is to make it easier for everyone to find and share the stories in their data. We do this by creating AI-driven software that makes it easy to do all aspects of data analysis and reporting, from simple tables through to machine learning, PowerPoint automation to online dashboards.

About the Role We’re looking for a Cyber Security & Compliance Lead to own how security actually works at Displayr — from access control and risk management through to compliance and incident response. This is a senior, hands-on role with full ownership. You’ll design, build, and operate security systems that are practical, scalable, and aligned with how the business works. Your mission is to ensure risks are avoided, identified, owned, prioritised, and acted on — in a way that is efficient, low-friction, and aligned with how the business operates. You’ll be the person ultimately accountable for security outcomes at Displayr. This role is ideal for someone who builds systems from first principles, uses strong judgment to prioritise risk, and takes full ownership of outcomes. You’ll work closely with engineering and leadership, setting clear guardrails while ensuring security enables, rather than slows down, the business. What You’ll Do Take end-to-end ownership of security outcomes across the business Own and improve our approach to access control, ensuring only the right people have the right access to systems and data Own and evolve compliance frameworks (e.g. SOC 2), ensuring they are implemented in a practical, low-overhead way Build and run a prioritised risk management system, clearly linking risks to real business impact Actively leverage AI tools to automate workflows, improve efficiency, and scale how security is implemented and monitored Design and operate key security processes, including: Access reviews Incident response Vendor and security reviews Vulnerability management Continuously identify, assess, prioritise, and track security risks and weaknesses across our systems Evaluate technical designs and identify security risks (e.g. auth, permissions, infrastructure, data access) Ensure all decisions are documented, auditable, and easy to understand Create clear, practical policies that reflect how we actually work Build systems (e.g. in Jira/Notion) that ensure work is tracked, owned, and completed Establish and improve SLAs and measurable security outcomes over time About You Proven experience owning security outcomes end-to-end, not just contributing to tasks or processes Experience building or significantly improving security systems in a real environment Strong judgment and ability to independently prioritise risk and make trade-offs Comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor with full ownership of outcomes Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) Highly efficient with strong follow-through — you consistently drive work to completion without needing close oversight Comfortable influencing stakeholders, pushing for the right outcomes, and escalating when needed A systems thinker — you don’t patch problems, you build coherent systems that solve them end-to-end Actively leveraging AI tools to improve efficiency and scale your impact Experience using tools like Jira to manage workflows, build boards, and automate processes Able to identify real security risks and clearly explain their impact in business terms Hands-on experience owning or significantly contributing to compliance frameworks (e.g. SOC 2) Demonstrated track record of improving security outcomes (e.g. implementing processes, improving SLAs, achieving compliance milestones) Comfortable working closely with engineers and influencing technical decisions across authentication, permissions, infrastructure, and data access Why Displayr?
