Information Security Officer
Information Security Officer
Location: London Department: Risk and Compliance Reporting to: Head of Risk and Compliance
ABOUT NEXGEN CLOUD:
NexGen Cloud is the company behind Hyperstack, a full-stack AI cloud serving tens of thousands of customers from AI researchers to enterprises running the world's most compute-intensive workloads. We deliver on-demand and private GPU infrastructure to teams who treat performance as a requirement, not a feature.
We're a tight-knit, fast-moving team working at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure. We practice what we preach, equipping our people with AI at every level so we can solve harder problems, ship faster, and keep raising the bar for what enterprise GPU infrastructure looks like.
THE ROLE: Information Security Officer
This role exists because as we scale our infrastructure and customer base, protecting the systems, data, and trust that underpin Hyperstack is a business-critical priority. You'll have direct ownership over NexGen Cloud's information security posture — from policy and risk frameworks through to incident response and compliance programmes.
This is a role for someone who operates independently, thinks in systems, and understands that good security is both a technical and a business discipline.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:
Rather than a long checklist, here's what success in this role looks like:
- Own the development and maintenance of data security policies, standards, and procedures across the organisation
- Drive the information security roadmap, coordinating activities across Risk and Compliance, Engineering, and Operations
- Lead risk and vulnerability assessments, ensuring findings translate into prioritised remediation actions
- Oversee data classification, encryption, and access control frameworks
- Lead incident response planning, investigation, and remediation — including playbooks, communications, and documentation — tracking actions through to closure
- Collaborate with Engineering, DevOps, Legal, and Compliance to embed security by design
- Manage third-party security risk and vendor assessments, escalating material risks appropriately
- Build and deliver security awareness programmes across the organisation
- Maintain documentation for audits and regulatory reporting

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
