Remote, South Africa

About the Role We are seeking an experienced Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead the company’s information security, cybersecurity, cloud security, governance, risk, compliance, and audit readiness functions. The company develops software products for financial services organisations, so the role requires a strong understanding of security expectations in regulated, audit-driven, enterprise customer environments. The CISO will report to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and will work closely with executive leadership, product engineering, cloud operations, customer-facing teams, legal, procurement, and external auditors to ensure security is embedded in how the organisation builds, operates, sells, and supports its products. The ideal candidate is a commercially aware security leader who combines technical credibility, audit discipline, cloud expertise, and strong communication skills. They should be comfortable engaging with customers and auditors, challenging engineering teams constructively, and helping the organisation scale a security programme that supports growth in demanding financial services markets.
