About the role
💰 £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
