Intelligence details

Why this is worth applying to

Clinicians with a background in IT/security or strong interest in compliance could use this as a bridge into health-tech, but the 3-5 years of security experience requirement makes it a stretch for most. Only consider if you have relevant security exposure or are willing to pivot with transferable skills.

Who should apply

Clinicians with prior IT/security experience, those who have worked with health data and understand GDPR/security, or healthcare professionals with a strong interest in governance, risk, and compliance.

CV angle

Highlight any experience with health data, understanding of clinical workflows, and any exposure to security or compliance (e.g., handling patient data, understanding GDPR, participating in audits). Emphasize ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, and any experience with risk assessment or process improvement.

Skills to highlight

  • Risk assessment
  • Stakeholder communication
  • Data classification
  • Knowledge of ISO 27001
  • Understanding of cloud infrastructure
  • Endpoint management
  • Identity and access controls
  • Compliance documentation
