Company mission

To give everyone access to human-centred welfare services.

Role

Who you are

  • You deeply care about IT being a service that exists but isn’t noticeable. Things just work and it's all down to the processes you’ve put in place
  • You are autonomous and have a bias to action - the ownership of this area is vast and you will have to make decisions and problem solve quickly and effectively
  • You’ve managed IT infrastructure at scale before - you might not have been the owner of it, but have worked in a highly productive team and want that step up now
  • You’ll have over 5+ years experience in the IT world - worked in potentially similar-sized organisations or places that have experienced high growth
  • You have a deep and broad knowledge of IT software, networking and cybersecurity and are always looking for smarter ways to implement processes
  • Proficiency in security tools and technologies such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus software
  • You have gone through the dance of implementing compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and HIPAA
  • You not only look at the processes in place, but the cost of them and deeply care about making businesses more efficient both monetarily and process-wise

What the job involves

  • We are seeking a highly skilled IT and Information Security Manager to join our team. You will oversee and manage Beam's IT infrastructure and information security strategies - making us more efficient, productive and secure.
  • We’re looking for someone who has deep technical abilities and stakeholder management to drive out the future of our IT systems. You are the sort of person who loves finding automations and efficiencies in IT - so much so that everything “just works”
  • This is an incredible opportunity for someone to have complete ownership of our IT systems end-to-end. If you are someone who has seen all the great IT tools out there and wondered “why can’t we implement this?”, then this role could be perfect for you
  • Developing the overall IT and security strategy alongside the CISO and CTO to support all our business operations - you’ll have the chance to bring your best ideas to the table
  • Implementing security and compliance measures for our systems with the right tools - caring about productivity and ensuring it doesn’t impede our ability to go fast
  • Focus on automating our IT set-up and bringing in the right technologies and tools to help us go faster, but safely and with all the compliance checks
  • Manage our risk and security through audits and device management that is easy to maintain as well as bringing in the right procedures to manage compliance
  • Liaising with external partners, e.g pentesters, to detect and respond to vulnerabilities
  • Responsible for ensuring IT / Security awareness and training at Beam
  • Bringing in the right hardware and software that helps us do our jobs in the best way possible, whilst maintaining a budget

Application process

  • 30 mins with our Talent team
  • 1 hour with David Annez (CTO) and Stuart Murray (CISO)
  • 1 hour with Sasha Watson (Chief People Officer)

Our take

Trusted by over 100 government partners, Beam is a social enterprise that brings AI to welfare services. Enabled by tech and AI, their caseworkers have supported thousands of underserved people into homes and jobs, whilst their software has slashed admin for thousands of frontline workers across the UK.

Beam is funded by established names in the UK tech scene, the world's top impact funds and the Mayor of London. Founder and CEO, Alex Stephany, brings a track record from his previous startup backed by Index Ventures and was recently named Purpose Entrepreneur of the Year 2024. The rest of Beam's senior team has their own wealth of experience from a variety of leading startups, tech, and social impact businesses like Arm, Multiverse, and GoCardless.

Beam has also won multiple awards, including a Queen's Award - one of the UK's most prestigious business awards - and has twice been voted as one of the top 100 places to work in the UK. Their work has been covered widely in the media, with features from the BBC, The Times, FT, Forbes and The Independent.
