📍 Remote | 🌍 International role | 💼 Full-time

Security never stands still. And you?

Your biggest challenge
You turn complex frameworks into clear, workable standards. You make sure they live in daily operations, not just on paper.

  • Translate group security frameworks into practical policies, controls, and procedures
  • Build and strengthen a Security-by-Design culture across projects, platforms, and teams
  • Guide affiliates with clear tools, training, and hands-on support so they move forward with confidence

  • Support teams in identifying risks, defining actions, and tracking real progress
  • Monitor execution, detect gaps, and report clear insights to senior leadership
  • Drive corrective actions and continuous improvement across affiliates
  • Support audit readiness and ensure evidence and documentation stay complete and accurate
  • Align with IT, PMO, and business teams so governance supports real business needs
  • Act as a trusted advisor for leadership on risk, compliance, and security priorities

  • You work with modern security ecosystems, including cloud security (Azure), SIEM, SOC, CIAM, PAM, or ServiceNow
  • You bring hands-on experience with Security-by-Design in projects and procurement
  • Certifications like CISSP, CISM, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor strengthen your profile
  • You communicate clearly, influence stakeholders, and build trust at every level
  • You stay structured, think ahead, and take ownership

You connect people, challenge the status quo, and keep improving. That’s your drive.

What do you get in return?

  • A key role with real impact and visibility across an international organization
  • The opportunity to shape and strengthen group-wide security standards and strategy
  • A network of experts where you connect, learn, and grow continuously
