Our platform orchestrates millions of real-time decisions across homes, devices, markets and grids.

With teams across Europe, Asia and Australia, and a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan, we power leading companies including OVO, AGL and ENGIE, as well as innovators like Volvo and Volkswagen. Where in the world of Kaluza will I be working? You'll be joining the Information & Cyber Security team, a core part of our Platform & Security Engineering organisation. Security at Kaluza isn't a silo — you'll work closely with colleagues across security engineering, identity and access management, platform engineering and enterprise technical services. As the Security GRC Lead, you will serve as the accountable operational owner for Kaluza’s Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance capability. You will establish and maintain a unified Common Control Framework, lead regulatory and framework readiness (including SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 22301), and work with engineering teams to demonstrate effective implementation of controls. A core focus of this role is acting as the primary information security bridge to Kaluza’s central Risk & Compliance team. You will closely collaborate with them to assess the impact of evolving security and privacy regulations, ensuring regulatory risks are clearly quantified, actionable, and seamlessly integrated into the wider enterprise risk framework. Why Join Kaluza in This Role? Strategic Enterprise Impact: You will shape how security governance interfaces with central Risk & Compliance, directly influencing Kaluza's posture across international energy markets. Unlocking Technical Innovation: Your work takes compliance administration away from senior engineers, enabling them to focus on core platform innovation like AI security architecture and multi-tenant scaling. You’ll leverage AI-assisted tooling to synthesize and reconcile control evidence from multiple operational systems with human oversight, helping us accelerate & innovate within the compliance domain. Growth Capability: As the accountable owner of GRC, you will establish the foundation and build the business case for expanding the security GRC team as Kaluza scales. What you’ll do • Working with Risk & Compliance to monitor emerging regulation and turn it into clear security control requirements and risk assessments, covering NIS2, AESCSF, the NCSC CAF, the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and ISO 42001 for AI governance. • Making sure security and resilience risks, control gaps and regulatory exposures feed into the enterprise risk framework, and keeping the security risk register accurate enough to give the board clear visibility. • Designing and maintaining a single Common Control Framework, anchored on ISO 27001 Annex A and mapped across regulatory, framework and client contractual requirements, and improving our security policy and standards library. • Moving us from point-in-time evidence gathering to automated control monitoring with GRC platforms such as Vanta, so audit readiness becomes a
