Job description

At EBANX, you’ll help expand access to payments and technology in some of the world’s most dynamic markets. We’re a unicorn-status fintech, AI-powered, and scaling fast across 29 countries and counting.

Our platform connects leading global companies to more than 1 billion consumers, enabling seamless cross-border payments where it matters most. We build with purpose, move with speed, and create solutions that are both innovative and inclusive.

If you’re looking to be part of a company that’s transforming the future of payments with clarity, ambition, and real-world impact — we’d love to meet you.

Your day-to-day impact:
  • Lead and develop a high-performing Information Security team focused on Risk Management and Security Governance;
  • Drive the identification, assessment, prioritization, and treatment of information security risks, ensuring clear visibility and effective communication of risk exposure to senior leadership;
  • Oversee the implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of compliance programs and certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701, ISO/IEC 27018, and PCI DSS;
  • Define and maintain the Information Security governance framework, including policies, standards, procedures, and control oversight;
  • Coordinate internal and external audits, security assessments, and the execution of remediation and risk treatment plans;
  • Define, monitor, and report security KPIs, KRIs, and program effectiveness metrics, providing actionable insights to business and executive stakeholders;
  • Drive the organization's security awareness and culture strategy through training programs, phishing simulations, targeted campaigns, and employee engagement initiatives;
  • Partner with cross-functional teams (Legal, Risk, HR, Engineering, Product, and Compliance) to embed security and risk management practices into business processes and strategic initiatives;
  • Ensure security requirements are incorporated into new products, services, vendors, and third-party relationships from the earliest stages of engagement;
  • Provide regular reporting on security governance, compliance status, risk landscape, and strategic initiatives to leadership and relevant governance forums;
  • Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and security-first decision-making across the organization.

Must-haves to shine in this role:
  • Proven experience leading teams, with the ability to motivate, coach, and develop people;
  • Strong expertise in Information Security Risk Management, including risk identification, assessment, prioritization, treatment, and executive-level reporting;
  • Deep knowledge of Information Security Governance and Compliance, including risk management, internal controls, and security frameworks;
  • Hands-on experience with global standards and certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701, ISO/IEC 27018, and PCI DSS;
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate technical risks into business impacts for both technical and executive audiences;
  • Proven track record managing audits, assessments, and external regulatory demands;
  • Analytical mindset with a business-oriented approach, connecting security decisions, risk exposure, and compliance requirements with strategic goals;
  • Experience designing and running awareness programs that go beyond checklists and truly shift culture;
  • Passion for innovation and AI-driven efficiency, with a proactive approach to leveraging AI and automation to optimize processes, reduce operational overhead, and enhance operational effectiveness;
  • Advanced English — you’ll often interact with international stakeholders.

Bonus points if you have:
  • Advanced certifications in Information Security, Risk Management, or Governance, such as ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor/Lead Implementer, CRISC, CISM, CISSP, or similar;
  • Experience working in global or multicultural environments, with distributed teams and international operations;
  • Familiarity with additional governance and risk frameworks such as NIST CSF, COBIT, SOX, or third-party risk management programs;
  • Knowledge of cloud security standards (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and secure development practices;
  • Hands-on experience with awareness platforms (e.g., KnowBe4, Wombat, MetaCompliance) and phishing simulation tools;
  • Experience presenting security and risk topics to executive committees, boards, or senior leadership forums;
  • Previous involvement in security incident response, including coordination and post-incident reviews;
  • Passion for building a security culture, storytelling, and engaging people in non-technical areas;
  • Hands-on experience using Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning to automate governance processes, enhance risk analysis, streamline controls management, or improve compliance monitoring.
