[Hiring] Technology Due Diligence Consultant @Intelance

Role Description

You will review the security and set up of Google Cloud data platforms as part of technology due diligence, for clients who are selling, buying or investing in software companies. Buyers want to know that client data is kept apart, that access is tightly controlled and logged, and that the security claims in a company's SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence hold up in practice.

You report to an Intelance engagement partner and work with our technology due diligence lead, who brings your findings into the final report.

What you will do

• Review how Google Cloud projects, BigQuery datasets and storage are organised, and how each client's data is kept separate.
• Check IAM roles, service accounts, network controls, secrets and encryption keys.
• Check logging, monitoring and alerting, including who can reach production data and how that access is recorded.
• Test security claims against the company's SOC 2, ISO 27001 or client security questionnaire evidence.
• Review backup, recovery and how the platform copes as data and users grow.
• Rate each finding by how it could affect the deal, and write clear, practical fixes.

Qualifications

• At least five years designing, running or securing production platforms on Google Cloud.
• Hands on knowledge of BigQuery, IAM, VPC Service Controls, Cloud Logging and Cloud KMS.
• A current Google Cloud Professional certification is a strong plus.
• Experience supporting SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits.
• Clear, plain writing that founders, buyers and lawyers can follow.
• Experience with health or other regulated data, or with due diligence work, is a strong plus.

Requirements

• Remote within the UK, with occasional meetings in London.
• Around 3 to 5 days between late November 2026 and the end of January 2027, with further engagements as the practice grows.
• Freelance, or through your own limited company, at £600 to £750 a day depending on experience. Reasonable travel costs for client meetings are covered.
• A panel agreement, NDA and statement of work are signed before any client details are shared.
• You work from an Intelance mailbox and use our evidence log and report templates, so every report meets the same standard.
