## Job description

## About us

Risk Ledger is developing a network of connected organisations, all working together to defend against cybersecurity attacks in the supply chain.

Organisations rely on us to establish trust, through sharing their security maturity and visualising the risks posed by their supply chain ecosystem. And we’re already trusted by customers like British Airways, BAE Systems and the NHS.

We are putting together an amazing and talented team from a diverse set of backgrounds and skillsets to drive us towards our vision. Risk Ledger is built on the respect we have for one another and our users, united by our shared values and mission.

Every one of us is still learning: it’s how we grow as individuals. We’re curious. We’re ambitious. And we’re humble and honest. At Risk Ledger, we aim high to find the best solutions we can and always put our users first.

You will act as a leader focused on the outcomes of multiple teams, working to build autonomy and a high-performing culture, where decisions are effectively delegated, made, and communicated.

In the role you will;

## Team and Delivery

- Build a strong product partnership with Product Managers to improve judgment calls on prioritizing technical investment alongside new feature development.
- Ensure efficient delivery of outcomes by coaching the team to ensure delivery ceremonies are effective and essential information is communicated while respecting their time.

People and Culture

- Cultivate an inclusive and a psychological safe environment that allows your teams to succeed and thrive.

Leadership

- Foster cross-functional collaboration by establishing productive partnerships across other teams and leading complex, cross-team projects when required.
- Maximize business impact by balancing technical knowledge with business understanding to ensure delivery outcomes align with company goals.
- Effectively navigate change management, helping teams evolve and adapt within changing technical environments.
- Work with senior stakeholders, including the CTO, Head of Engineering, and Principal Engineers, to support the engineering community and drive the overall maturation of engineering practices across technology, people, and processes.

You’ll have;

Delivery Management:

- You are an expert communicator capable of navigating complex stakeholder environments and managing delivery constraints, capacity, quality, deadlines without compromising the health of your team.

Technical Leadership:

- You are a customer-focused leader with a proven track record of managing technical teams to deliver pragmatic solutions that balance quality, security, and customer outcomes.
- You have leveraged your technical background to coach engineers and drive engineering best practices, including agile methodologies.
- From your time as a hands-on engineer, you will have gained experience on some of the technical stack and will be able to demonstrate this knowledge through the interview process.

People & Culture

- You embody servant leadership, demonstrating a humble and considerate approach to teamwork while being deeply motivated by the growth and success of your people.

The perks:

- 💰Competitive base salary
- 📈Generous EMI equity package
- 👌Private pension
- ✈️28 days annual leave + bank holidays

## About Risk Ledger

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Risk Ledger provides a third-party risk management platform that connects organizations into a secure network to visualize and mitigate supply chain security risks in real-time.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Haydn Brooks (CEO), Daniel Saul (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Computer and Network Security / Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)
- **Target Customers**: B2B – enterprises and organizations of all sizes that need to manage cybersecurity risk across their supply chain (security, procurement, and compliance teams)
- **Mission/Purpose**: To shift the way organizations approach cybersecurity and risk management by building a global network of connected organizations that can "Defend-as-One" against cyber attacks.

## Products & Services
- **Risk Ledger Platform**: A dynamic network-based SaaS platform that connects organizations with their suppliers. It replaces point-in-time questionnaires with a standardized, ever-green assessment. Suppliers complete a single profile that can be shared with multiple customers, drastically reducing administrative burden. The platform provides continuous risk signals, identifies concentration risks across 4th and 5th parties, and facilitates collective intelligence sharing.
- **Assessment Framework**: A standardized supplier security framework that is updated regularly against the latest cybersecurity directives and industry regulations, allowing for consistent benchmarking across the supply chain.
- **Reporting & Visualization**: Tools for mapping and visualizing the full supply chain, identifying chokepoints, and tracking risk mitigation progress.

## Market Standing
- **Funding**: Total of **$12.59M** raised over 5 rounds [crunchbase.com](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/risk-ledger). Key rounds include:
    - Pre-Seed: $1.8M (July 2019, led by Firstminute Capital)
    - Seed: $2.9M (Oct 2021, led by Lifeline Ventures)
    - Series A: £6.25M (~$7.7M) (Nov 2023, led by Mercia Ventures)
- **Key Metric**: **$3M** estimated annual revenue [linkedin.com](https://uk.linkedin.com/company/risk-ledger).
- **Notable Investors & Partners**: Mercia Ventures, Lifeline Ventures, Firstminute Capital.
- **Growth Signals**: The platform now connects **over 16,000 organizations** [riskledger.com](https://riskledger.com/). Headcount has grown **30.4% year-over-year** to **81 employees**, with a presence in the UK, US, Japan, and Finland [linkedin.com](https://uk.linkedin.com/company/risk-ledger). They are actively hiring for a founding US Sales role, signaling a major push into the North American market.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Collective Network Model**: Unlike traditional "point-in-time" questionnaire-based solutions, Risk Ledger creates a living network. Once a supplier is on the platform, any company in their network can instantly view their security profile, creating a powerful "use many" model that drastically reduces friction for both buyers and suppliers.
- **Deeper Visibility**: The network model provides visibility beyond direct third-parties, uncovering risks at the 4th and 5th party level which are typically blind spots for other tools.
- **Real-time Risk Signals**: Instead of relying on static annual assessments, the platform continuously monitors for emerging threats and alerts users if a connected supplier is impacted, creating a proactive rather than reactive security posture.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Network**: The primary focus is on increasing the number of organizations on the platform to strengthen the network effect—the more organizations join, the more valuable the platform becomes for everyone.
- **US Market Expansion**: With the hiring of a **Founding U.S. Sales Team** member and 7% of the workforce already based there, entering and capturing the North American market is a key growth priority.
- **Product Development**: They are actively hiring for a **Staff Engineer** and **Senior Product Engineer**, indicating a strong focus on building out the platform’s capabilities.
- **Community Building**: With roles like a **Community & Field Marketing Lead**, there is a clear strategy to build a community of security professionals around the "Defend-as-One" ethos.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Values**: The company has a highly-rated culture (**4.9/5.0** on LinkedIn) based on transparency, creativity, curiosity, and making a meaningful impact [riskledger.com](https://riskledger.com/careers). They emphasize "Intentional Transparency" as a core value.
- **Work Environment**: **Hybrid/flexible** working based out of their London office, typically requiring **2-3 days in the office**.
- **Perks & Benefits** [riskledger.com](https://riskledger.com/careers):
    - 25 days annual leave + public holidays + "August rest leave" + "Festive rest leave" (company-wide winter break).
    - 30 days per year to work from abroad.
    - Private healthcare through AXA (including enhanced mental health coverage).
    - Gender-neutral family leave policy with 12 weeks paid leave.
    - 5 days paid "Caretakers leave."
    - £500 WFH budget and £500 annual training budget.
