This role will be based in London with travel to Fleet when needed.
Who are we: Tempcover is at the forefront of the fast-growing world of short-term insurance. Our mission is to make car insurance flexible, quick, and easy for drivers. We've sold millions of policies that have helped drivers get where they need to go, but we're not finished there. We're growing our team to help us continue in that mission. If you are extraordinary at what you do and want to be a part of a rapidly growing business at the cutting edge of the InsureTech industry, we would love to hear from you!
The Opportunity: As Information Security Manager, you'll join Tempcover at a critical stage in our growth. You'll take ownership of our information security strategy, with the autonomy to shape policies, standards and controls from the ground up. This is a role where your judgement will directly protect the business, our systems and our people, while you evolve how security enables rather than blocks the way we work.
You'll be working in a small, close-knit team, so your impact is felt immediately, not lost in layers of process. We're entirely cloud-native and forward-leaning on tooling, already using platforms like Vanta to keep compliance and controls sharp rather than manual. As we scale, we want to scale security with AI, so there's real scope to bring GenAI into how we manage risk and drive better practice, not just talk about it.
As Tempcover scales, so does the mandate, including the opportunity to build out a security function of your own.
