About the role

Are you passionate about data, security, and helping customers feel confident in what they buy? At Moorepay, we’re looking for a Compliance, Security & Governance Specialist who can bridge the gap between technical expertise and trusted customer relationships.

This is no ordinary compliance role — it’s your chance to sit at the heart of our sales operation, shaping how we communicate our governance, risk, and security posture to clients across the UK.

This is a unique opportunity to combine your technical know-how with your people skills in a dynamic, customer-focused role. You’ll gain exposure to every part of the business — from sales and product to compliance and innovation — while playing a key part in helping customers trust and understand what makes Moorepay secure and compliant.

If you love connecting the dots between technology, governance, and people — and want to make a real impact in a fast-moving environment — we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work hand-in-hand with our Sales team to ensure customers receive clear, transparent, and accurate information about Moorepay’s governance and security practices.

  • Serve as the primary contact for all security, compliance, and data-related queries during the sales cycle.

  • Collaborate closely with our Product and Technical teams, turning complex security and compliance concepts into easy-to-understand insights for clients.

  • Review and respond to customer compliance questionnaires — supported by our innovative AI tools to help streamline and speed up the process.

  • Join customer demos alongside Sales, speaking confidently about our approach to data protection, risk management, and governance.

  • Help shape how we communicate compliance, ensuring trust and transparency at every stage of the customer journey.

  • Represent Moorepay and Zellis strengths in accreditations, ESG, disaster recovery, and business continuity during client interactions.

  • Own and complete RFPs, ensuring responses reflect Moorepay’s robust security and compliance standards.

  • Stay current with industry standards, certifications, and regulatory requirements relevant to Moorepay’s offerings.

  • Proactively improve sales enablement through documentation, FAQs, and training on compliance topics.

  • Champion ethical governance and sustainable practices in all sales engagements.

    Skills & experience

  • Strong understanding of compliance frameworks (e.g. ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2) and risk management principles.

  • Experience supporting sales teams in a technical or compliance-focused capacity.

  • Proven ability to complete RFPs and security questionnaires with precision and clarity.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in translating technical content for non-technical audiences.

  • Familiarity with ESG principles and business continuity planning.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and work collaboratively across departments.

    Who you are

  • A confident communicator who can explain technical concepts in a clear, customer-friendly way.

  • Someone who thrives in both technical and people-facing environments — equally at ease talking to product engineers or clients.

  • Conscientious, detail-oriented, and naturally curious about how data and governance shape great business relationships.

  • Comfortable discussing data security, compliance frameworks, and governance best practices.

  • Collaborative, approachable, and always ready to lend your expertise to help win customer confidence.

    Benefits & culture

    Part of the Zellis Group, Moorepay is a team of over 500 friendly professionals across four offices in Swinton (Manchester), Sheffield, Birmingham and Kochi (India). We’re passionate about making Moorepay a fantastic place to work for every single one of our colleagues. The average length of service at Moorepay is 12 years, which speaks for itself!

    To help make Moorepay such a great place to work, we focus on three things in our company culture: mental health support, maintaining a healthy work/life balance, and equal opportunities and inclusion for all.

  • A comprehensive programme of learning and development.

  • Competitive base salary.

  • 25 days annual leave, with the opportunity to buy more. You’ll even get your birthday off as well!

  • Life assurance 4x salary.

  • Enhanced pension with up to 8.5% employer contributions.

  • A huge range of additional flexible benefits across financial & personal wellbeing, lifestyle & leisure

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader. Organisations now face complex legal frameworks, ethical dilemmas, human-behaviour risks, communication challenges & usability hurdles. This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
