We’re reinventing payments.
In less than four years, Dojo disrupted the market to become the largest and most loved acquirer in the UK. Our payments infrastructure, purpose-built for in-person commerce, is game changing.

Now, over 150,000 customers across four countries choose to transact billions with us every year.
But we’re just getting started.

Our people are the driving force behind our success. They are our greatest investment and our ultimate competitive advantage. We hire exceptional people and give them the autonomy, trust, and ownership to thrive. The results take care of themselves.

 

The Role:

The Product Security team at Dojo is dedicated to ensuring the security and integrity of our products and services. We are a collaborative and proactive team that works closely with engineering and product development to build security in from the start. 

The Head of Product Security will be responsible for leading and driving the product security strategy and architecture for Dojo. This role will ensure that the highest standards of security are integrated into all product development processes, from inception to deployment.

Rather than managing a specific product's roadmap, the Head of Product Security acts as a cross-functional enabler, ensuring that security is a habit across all Dojo products and engineering workflows.

What you will do:

  • Set the north star - Define a compelling vision and roadmap for product security that inspires the whole organisation.
  • Lead the function - lead and manage the existing product security team to meet the needs of the organisation.
  • Architect secure products - Partner with product managers, designers, and developers to embed security from day one, turning risk-aware thinking into a habit.
  • Create playbooks & policies - Design clear, developer-friendly security guidelines and automated workflows that keep code secure without killing velocity.
  • Empower engineers - Build the tools, processes, and culture that let developers ship fast and safe.
  • Lead the bug bounty program - Turn the global security community into an extension of our own team.
  • Influence roadmaps - Sit at the table with product leads, shaping priorities and ensuring security considerations are baked into every release.

 

What you will bring:

  • Experience moving security from a "gatekeeper" function to a "frictionless" enabler
  • Proven record leading security projects from concept to production
  • Leadership style that blends constructive challenge with collaboration
  • Proven track record at a high-growth SaaS or product-led company.
  • Ability to translate technical detail into clear, actionable guidance for any audience.
  • Quick grasp of large, complex systems

Dojo home and away

We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These “together days” foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas.

That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week.

With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.


Question: what’s curious, relentless, and customer obsessed?

If you’re keen to know the answer, you’re a third of the way to meeting our Dojo values.

If the following speak to you, let’s talk:

  • You’re curious. You have a real desire to learn and create.
  • You’re relentless. You keep going even when it’s easier not to. 
  • You’re customer-obsessed. You know how important customers are to what you do. 

 

Diversity, equity, and inclusion at Dojo

From local bakeries to well-known eateries, Dojo payments serve over 150,000 places across the UK. 

And something that’s fundamental to creating relevant, innovative products at Dojo is to build teams to reflect the diversity of the businesses we serve.

Our drive to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion is closely linked to helping employees thrive and innovating for better customer experiences.

If you care about your work, you’re curious, and you think customer-first, you have a place at Dojo.

To make sure you’re the best you can be throughout the recruitment process, let us know if you need any extra adjustments to help you thrive.
