Job Summary
Were seeking an Information Security Officer to lead and mature Preciums security posture as we scale across markets and deepen our enterprise and global footprint. Youll be responsible for building fit-for-purpose security practices that enable innovation, safeguard customer trust, and meet compliance obligations in regulated and enterprise-driven environments.
Reporting into the VP of Engineering, this role will sit at the intersection of engineering, operations, compliance, and leadership, helping us embed security into the DNA of how we build and deliver payment infrastructure. If youre a proactive problem-solver with a strong technical foundation and a pragmatic approach to risk, wed love to meet you.
Why this role matters:
Precium operates in one of the most sensitive and scrutinised spaces: financial services and payments. Our ability to protect customer data, uphold regulatory expectations, and earn trust is core to our business success. With a growing portfolio of enterprise and global clients, our security capabilities must scale ahead of risk, not behind it.
This role is critical in helping us achieve our mission to build world-class payment infrastructure that makes doing business in Africa effortless.
Key responsibilities:
- Develop, own, and maintain Preciums information security roadmap and risk register in alignment with business and compliance needs.
- Implement and enforce best practice security policies across infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and data management.
- Support product, engineering, and compliance teams in embedding security-by-design into the SDLC and platform operations.
- Lead internal risk assessments and external security audits (e.g. PCIDSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2) with relevant stakeholders.
- Conduct regular vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and risk modelling in collaboration with external providers.
- Establish incident response procedures and act as a point of contact in the event of a breach or suspected threat.
- Champion security education and awareness across the companyfostering a culture of accountability and care.
- Work with clients and partners to complete security reviews and questionnaires as part of enterprise procurement processes.
- Stay up to date with emerging threats, regulatory updates, and security technologies relevant to fintech and payments.
- Responsible for Internal IT security requirements that include amongst others, cloud security, mobile device management, management of Google Workspace, Password changes etc.
Challenges you will need to solve:
- Scaling security in a high-growth, startup environment without slowing down delivery.
- Navigating a complex stakeholder landscape where security intersects with engineering velocity, client trust, and compliance.
- Building clarity and confidence in security practices while working with legacy and new systems.
- Meeting (and staying ahead of) regulatory and enterprise requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
Requirements
Who you are:
We are looking for someone who thrives in complexity, takes ownership, and is motivated by impact over title.
The ideal candidate will bring:
- 4+ years of experience in information security in a Fintech.
- Solid understanding, implementation and day to day running of Information Security with a major emphasis on maintaining PCI-DSS compliance.
- Strong knowledge of security governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC).
- Additional experience in cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), secure coding practices, and data protection frameworks.
- Relevant supplier and partner management experience.
- Experience leading and implementing certifications like ISO 27001, SOC 2.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- A hands-on, pragmatic approach with the ability to design scalable solutions.
- Passion for continuous learning and an interest in shaping systems from the ground up.
