Head of Cyber

Are you an experienced cyber security professional ready to lead security across critical energy infrastructure? Join Alight and

help protect the renewable energy assets driving the transition to a fossil-free grid.

Founded in 2013, Alight is a leading solar and battery energy storage (BESS) independent power producer in the Nordics. As we

continue to grow, we're looking for a practical, hands-on Head of Cyber to lead our IT and OT team and take ownership of cyber

security across the business.

Reporting to our COO, you'll combine technical expertise with strategic leadership to strengthen security across our solar parks,

battery systems, corporate IT and offices. You'll work closely with our executive team and colleagues across operations, asset

management and regulatory affairs.

• Leadership & strategy: Lead and develop the IT and OT team, own the cyber security roadmap, manage risk and report to the

executive team and board.

• IT & OT security: Strengthen infrastructure and operational technology security, including architecture, third-party access and

supplier requirements.

• Incident response & compliance: Develop detection and response capabilities, lead incident preparedness and oversee compliance

with applicable regulations and security standards, including NIS2.

• AI & security culture: Continually develop security guardrails for AI tools and integrations, manage external partners and

promote security awareness across Alight.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll have the autonomy to build and improve our security programme as the business

grows.

You'll have a high level of responsibility and independence in this role. You should be comfortable presenting to the board in the

morning and working through a technical problem with your team in the afternoon.

The role suits a practical, experienced security professional who wants to grow as a leader and enjoys building from the ground up

in a fast-growing company, takes ownership, and prioritises real risk reduction over paperwork.

Experience in energy, utilities or other critical infrastructure, as well as AI security, is a plus.

A technical degree is preferred.

You will be part of an entrepreneurial scale-up in a flat, coaching, and knowledge-driven culture with a high degree of autonomy

and accountability. Ever since we started, we've defined ourselves as a diverse company with global reach, which means that remote

and flexible work is how we operate and our people are at the center of everything.

• Our largest hubs are in Stockholm and Madrid, but our staff is spread across Europe, and our hybrid ways of working provide

everyone with a fully flexible work setup

• We have a fun office vibe with regular team dinners, breakfasts and AWs, and sports activities. For example, we have a session

with a running coach every Tuesday, and other ad hoc sports activities organized by employees, always paid for by the company

• Quarterly company events where we gather our remote team for a few days. This always includes some fun activities such as

sailing, skiing etc.
