In this role, you will take ownership of key elements of our Information Security Management System (ISMS), support initiatives such as ISO 27001 implementation and continuous improvement, internal security policy rollouts, supplier/third-party security, security awareness, and other company-wide programs that create measurable risk reduction and business value. You are structured, pragmatic, detail-oriented, and capable of driving initiatives forward independently while aligning stakeholders across the organization.

Project & Program Management (cross-functional delivery)

• Lead end-to-end delivery of security and compliance-related projects (scope, timelines, objectives, success criteria).
• Monitor milestones, budgets (where applicable), dependencies, and outcomes; proactively mitigate delivery and security risks.
• Ensure robust documentation and reporting of project progress, decisions, and results.

Compliance, Audit & Continuous Improvement

• Prepare and coordinate internal and external audits (e.g., ISO 27001), including planning, evidence collection, and follow-up on findings.
• Maintain the audit action plan and ensure timely remediation and verification of corrective actions.
• Support alignment with relevant regulatory and contractual requirements (e.g., GDPR interfaces, customer security requirements).

Incident Oversight & Security Operations Enablement

• Support or coordinate security incident management processes (triage, coordination, lessons learned, corrective actions).
• Help maintain and improve security processes such as access governance, vulnerability remediation governance, and secure change processes (in collaboration with IT).
• Security Awareness & Change Enablement
• Coordinate security awareness and training initiatives (content, rollout plans, completion tracking).
• Support change management for new security processes, tools, and policies to ensure adoption and sustainable operations.

Third-Party / Supplier Security (in collaboration with Procurement/Legal/IT)

• Support implementation of third-party security practices: security questionnaires, due diligence, risk assessments, and contract/security clause alignment.
• Track third-party security risks and remediation actions; support periodic reviews of critical suppliers.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

• Coordinate across multiple departments (IT, Legal, Procurement, Product/Engineering, HR, etc.).
• Facilitate workshops, risk reviews, decision forums, and alignment meetings.
• Maintain clear communication with stakeholders at different levels, translating complex security topics into actionable plans.
