If you want to do career-defining work, you’ve come to the right place. We move fast, think globally, and believe great teams are built by hiring exceptional people with conviction, curiosity, and the desire to make an impact.

As an Information Security Analyst at Checkout.com, you will work across the full breadth of the information security function, spanning Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), AI Governance, Application Security (AppSec), Technology Risk, and Data Governance. This is a role for someone who has built a solid foundation in information security and is ready to move from guided execution to genuine ownership of tasks and smaller workstreams.
Security at Checkout operates at scale and at pace. We are a global payments business, regulated across multiple jurisdictions, building infrastructure that processes billions of transactions. Our security function needs analysts who understand how different domains fit together, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical colleagues, and take accountability for the quality of their work.
At L2 you will implement security controls, respond to security incidents, identify risks, and support compliance activities across multiple domains. You work independently for extended periods and are developing the cross-domain knowledge and stakeholder skills that will prepare you for programme ownership at L3 and beyond.
