ISO 27001 Lead Auditor

AuditRemoteFlexible contract

You will lead Stage 1, Stage 2, surveillance and recertification audits, assessing whether an organisation's ISO 27001 controls operate effectively. You'll use appropriate sampling methods and draft clear findings and reports within our platform. Along the way, you'll build your competence portfolio with us and help improve the platform you use to conduct audits.

The role goes beyond fieldwork. You'll lead the audit team during witnessed audits as part of our initial accreditation, conduct application and technical reviews, and mentor developing technical auditors.

Apply for this role

What you'll do

  • Lead remote Stage 1, Stage 2, surveillance and recertification audits end to end.
  • Test ISO 27001 implementation against real evidence, live in the client's systems.
  • Draft findings and audit reports in our custom platform; a human owns every finding.
  • Sit in the audit-team-leader seat for witnessed audits.
  • Perform application reviews and technical reviews.
  • Mentor developing auditors and help improve our management system and audit workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Cloud and security infrastructure understanding. You can read an IAM policy, a Terraform plan, or an audit log and say what it actually does, enough to challenge cloud-era evidence (IAM, logging, CI/CD) rather than accept the summary.
  • Certification-body experience. You've audited for an accredited CB. You know the discipline of the client file, impartiality, the decision firewall, NC lifecycles, and what an accreditation witness assessment feels like from the inside.
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 lead auditor, current, with an audit log.
  • Clear communication. You can synthesise complex technical findings into precise, actionable language, ensuring your audit reports remain transparent and defensible.
  • Curious. You want to understand how modern, cloud-native architectures operate and find practical ways to use AI and automated tooling in audits.
