IT Security & Compliance Manager

Join Our Team as a IT Security & Compliance Manager

We are currently recruiting for IT Security & Compliance Manager at our Madrid office.

The ideal candidate will have experience in:

• ITGC
• SoD
• ERP Controls

What You'll Be Doing:

Audit response and readiness — primary

• Act as the single point of contact for external audit, group internal audit and finance control reviews: scope agreement, evidence, walkthroughs, management responses.
• Maintain one register of IT-related findings from every source, each with a named owner and a date.
• Report remediation status monthly to the Global IT Director, and at each audit cycle to Finance and to Legal & Compliance.
• Assemble the evidence base before it is asked for: application inventory, system owner matrix, access records, change records, backup and restore records.

Internal controls, built from audit requirements

• Turn each agreed finding into a documented, repeatable control: control objective, control owner, frequency, evidence retained.
• Start with what is already known to be required, periodic user access review; segregation of duties in ERP and procure-to-pay; a named System Owner for every application.
• Design controls that can be operated at current headcount. Where one cannot be, record the compensating control and the accepted risk rather than writing a control that will fail its next test.
• Re-test what has been remediated, and close findings on evidence rather than assertion.
• Keep the IT policy set current, access, information security and acceptable use, continuity and aligned to what is actually done.
• Review new and renewed software and services before any commitment is made: data location, processing terms, security, GxP impact, exit terms. Conclusion within five working days.
• Support Legal & Compliance on UK and EU data protection where systems are involved: hosting location, transfers, processing agreements, retention.
• Represent controls in the SAP and workflow programmes, authorisation model, segregation-of-duties rules, approval matrix, audit logging — and sign off before configuration freeze.

Your skills and experience

• Five or more years in IT audit, IT compliance or IT risk, within or facing a multi-entity international group.
• Has personally run the company side of an IT audit, scope, evidence, management response, remediation through to closure.
• Has built and operated IT general controls off the back of findings, not only tested them.
• Has owned a user access review and segregation-of-duties cycle across an ERP.
• English to full professional standard, written and spoken; right to work in the Netherlands or Spain.
• Able to work as the only person in the discipline: sets own priorities and writes own material.
• CISA, CRISC, or ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor.
• Pharmaceutical, medical device or medical aesthetics experience, including GxP and CSV /computerized system validation.
• SAP authorisation concept and segregation-of-duties design.
• UK and EU data protection as it applies to systems and vendors.
