About this role
From the Ethos listing
Ethos is growing fast, and our clients, including leading AI labs and investment firms, increasingly expect independent proof that we protect their data. We need an experienced compliance lead to own our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programme and take us from early setup to certification as quickly as is realistic. Vanta is already in place.
You won't be doing it alone. Engineering will make the technical changes, and leadership and operations will own their parts. Your job is to set the plan, drive it forward and make sure the right people deliver. Great looks like a clear plan within your first two weeks, a team that always knows what's next and why, and a smooth audit.
What you'll do:
- Own SOC 2 and ISO 27001 from start to finish: set the plan, keep it moving and hold us to it
- Work with leadership, engineering and operations, setting out what's needed and why
- Take on specialist work yourself where it makes sense, such as drafting policies or running the risk assessment
- Get us audit ready and guide us through the audits
Compensation: £500–800 per day
Commitment: 2–3 days per week. Fixed-term until certification, with the possibility of extending
Location: Remote. Being able to work from our London office is a strong plus
Start date: ASAP
Requirements
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in Legal

Common questions
Is Ethos regular AI training work like rating chatbot responses?
No. Ethos is an expert network. AI labs, investment funds and large companies pay for your domain knowledge (deal analysis, clinical reasoning, legal logic, financial modeling) in three formats: multi-week consulting engagements, 30 to 60 minute advisory calls, and research surveys. Listings like this one are the AI-lab engagements, where you write or review expert material for a model.
Do I need to keep applying for projects on Ethos?
No. When your profile is live, Ethos matches you to new projects from your career history, so companies find you. Each finished project raises your Expert Score, which brings you better-paid work.
How much does this specific role pay?
The listing doesn't state a rate. The $100/hr shown here is our estimate from the role type and location (see /pay-methodology), so treat it as a rough guide and confirm the actual rate with the platform before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
The link opens Ethos's sign-up. There is no form for this listing: Ethos's AI interviewer asks about your career in a 5 to 15 minute call, builds your profile from it, and then matches you to projects like this one. Keep your CV open and cover the experience the Qualifications above ask for.
Who built Ethos and is it legitimate?
Yes. Ethos was founded in London in 2024 by James Lo (McKinsey, SoftBank Vision Fund) and Daniel Mankowitz (Google DeepMind research scientist and lead author of AlphaDev). It raised a $22.75M Series A led by a16z in May 2026, with General Catalyst and XTX Markets participating, and works with AI labs, private equity firms, hedge funds and consultancies.
