Assurance Analyst

GoCardless are here to support you and we’re committed to making the hiring process inclusive and accessible for everyone. If you need extra support or any adjustments made, please reach out to your Talent Partner.

Remember, we don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.

About us

At GoCardless we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool to make better, faster decisions. We’re making it easy to use both- for businesses everywhere.

GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 85,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries. We are headquartered in the UK, with additional offices in Australia, France, Latvia and the United States.

The role

The Assurance Analyst is responsible for monitoring the assurance of our systems and processes. That means working in the Assurance team to:

1. Work with privacy, security and resilience control owners to ensure we have well documented controls that we are able to monitor
2. Responding to audit requests; whether from partners, merchants or regulators
3. Maintaining our ISO, SOC and Cyber Essentials certifications and attestations
4. Reviewing our key third parties to ensure that meet the standards we require

Building confidence in our approach to privacy, security and resilience is important. So part of the role requires that we have an easily digestible set of documentation and evidence for a mix of auditors, partners and merchants and that this information is understood and can be actioned by our sales and customer teams where possible.

What excites you

• You care deeply about building privacy, security and resilience into an organisation
• You enjoy understanding and exploring business processes and take pride in continuous improvement
• You are both a natural collaborator, who believes in amplifying the value of others, and a highly motivated and organised self-starter.

What excites us

• You are detail and process oriented
• You have worked in an environment that either had or was working towards ISO certifications or SOC attestations
• You have an open mind on how to get things done (we are Fintech and we don’t want bureaucracy for the sake of it!)
• You are familiar with regulatory requirements relating to Privacy, Security and Resilience

We don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.
