You will work closely with the CISO and the Information Security Manager, who owns Security Governance. Your job is to lead and keep momentum in the Security Operations leg while the client's regular consultant is on leave. We are looking for a pragmatic, solution-oriented leader who can hit the ground running. You might have a background as a cyber security specialist but have grown into a leading or coordinating role.

You understand modern IT infrastructure, cloud environments and the software development life cycle (SDLC). ● Ability to translate strict regulatory requirements (such as DORA) into actionable implementation steps for engineering teams. ● Pro-activeness, strong technical translation skills and a forward-leaning attitude. ● Fluent in English, as this is the corporate language. WHAT YOU WILL DO As the interim owner of the Security Operations domain, you will be responsible for driving technical security capabilities. Your responsibilities will cover: ● Secure Software Development & AppSec: Support the engineering teams with requirements and best practices for Application Security (AppSec) and secure coding. ● Security Architecture & Cryptography: Act as the technical authority in architecture forums, providing hands-on guidance on Security Architecture and Cryptography. ● Endpoint/Cloud Security: Oversee and guide the implementation of technical controls in the cloud and endpoint environments. ● IAM: Drive technical initiatives related to Identity and Access Management. ● Security Testing & Vulnerability Management: Order and coordinate Security Testing, and oversee Vulnerability Management to identify, prioritise and mitigate technical risks. ● Security Logging & Monitoring: Ensure appropriate visibility and tracking mechanisms are in place across the infrastructure. ● Security Incident Management: Support and coordinate the technical response processes for security incidents. ● Ensure Seamless Handover: Maintain high-quality documentation of all ongoing Security Operations initiatives to ensure a smooth transition when the regular consultant returns. For this role, we use SashaRec.Ai as our first step of the skills assessment. Sasha is both an recruitment expert and a Cyber security expert - so she is far better then us on gathering the correct information. Oh, and did you know - Sasha works 24/h so you can make the first interview whenever it fits your day (or night!)!
