About The Position

The Information Security Lead exists to make security an operating discipline across ACQ, with clear ownership for information security operations, incident readiness, risk, and the ongoing operation of ISO 27001 and ISO 42001. ACQ holds data from thousands of client businesses and uses AI across its products and internal operations. We've established foundational identity controls, and we're moving from certification readiness into the daily work of keeping our management systems effective, our risks visible, and our response capabilities ready. This is a hands-on, founding information security role with its deepest ownership in GRC and security operations. You will build repeatable operating systems, lead investigations, and provide an independent view of risk. You will also bring enough technical depth to review application and infrastructure code, understand attack paths, and work with engineering owners on practical code remediation. You will report to the IT Systems Manager, partner daily with platform, application, and AI engineering, collaborate with Legal on privacy, and work with the CTO as an executive sponsor of the function.

• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Pulumi or Terraform, cloud IAM, and deployment workflows.
• Knowledge of AI and agentic systems, with experience establishing practical security controls for their use.
