You will, for example, work with internal security engagements, information security policies, security aspects of project management, security governance frameworks like ISO27001, NIST, and more. You will carry out cyber security maturity assessments and appraisal of the effectiveness of compliance-related controls.
We have a vision to further develop the Information Management functions within Quality & Risk to meet the growing number of assessment requests, legal and regulatory obligations and the ever-increasing volume of internal projects involving Information Security controls.

• Competence in project coordination
• Ability to work analytically, methodically with an orientation to problem-solving

We also believe that you have the ability to communicate clearly and positively and are service-oriented and proactive. We think that you are a great team-player with a ability to multitask and take on different activities simultaneously.

You are expected to participate in various internal and external trainings required to keep you up to date with policies and regulations. With us, you will get the opportunity for certifications and professional development in, for example, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor/ Implementer or certification as a CISSP, if that is something you do not already hold today.
