Your role:

• The primary technical advisor to the CISO, keeping IT, OT and business teams secure, resilient and compliant.

Key Responsibilities:

NIS2 Compliance & Governance

• Coordinate internal response to security incidents, ensuring seamless communication between SOC and internal IT teams.
• Drive the adoption of security controls across the organization.

Security Architecture & Project Support

• Apply “Security by Design” principles to new IT projects, ensuring security is embedded in the development lifecycle and infrastructure services.
• Review low‑level technical designs and provide architectural advice on common cyber capabilities.
• Act as liaison between the CISO office and ICT departments to ensure security tools are deployed effectively without hindering business performance.

IT/OT Convergence

• Serve as the bridge between IT security and OT domains.
• Use understanding of OT environments to ensure IT security measures do not disrupt energy production or grid operations.
• Collaborate with engineers to maintain “Purdue Model” separation and secure remote access points.
• Support alignment with OT security standards (IEC 62443).

Qualifications

• 5–10 years of experience in Information/Cyber Security.
• Good knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001) and the practical implications of NIS2.
• Fluent in English; good knowledge of Dutch and/or French is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of technical architecture: Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance stack, cloud security, network security, endpoint protection and hardening.
• Nice to have: familiarity with OT standards and/or experience in the Energy or Utilities sector.
• Excellent at explaining complex technical risks to non‑technical stakeholders and leadership.
• Experience managing external partners and holding them accountable to SLAs and deliverables.
• Pragmatic: balances perfect security with business agility, seeking workable solutions.
• Only candidates residing in Belgium with a valid residence and work permit will be considered.

Offer

• Full‑time job and an open‑ended contract (no consulting).
• Benefits such as a green company car, meal vouchers, group insurance and health care insurance for you and your family members.
