For this purpose, you will develop, deploy, and maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS) aligned with ISO 27001, NIST, and NIS-2 frameworks - ensuring practical application, not just documentation
• You will drive compliance with relevant cyber security regulations and industry standards by translating requirements into effective security policies, procedures and controls and integrating them into day-to-day operations
• Taking ownership of incident management, you ensure the swift detection, coordinated response and resolution of security incidents while continuously strengthening incident reporting and lessons-learned processes
• In close collaboration with IT, Legal and Procurement, you embed cyber security requirements into contracts and processes and contribute to a robust third-party risk management framework
• Furthermore, you will directly implement, manage, and fine-tune cutting-edge security monitoring tools and will ensure cybersecurity coverage across multiple focus markets, including Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, Norway, and Sweden

What you bring to the role

• You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree from a university or university of applied sciences in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science or a related field
• Proven experience in both cybersecurity management and hands-on implementation, ideally in critical infrastructure or energy sectors
• Practical expertise in network management, server virtualisation, OT communication protocols as well as firewall configuration and administration complements your security expertise
• Strong knowledge of ISO 27001, NIST CSF and NIS-2, combined with practical experience in risk management, compliance audits and security operations, is essential
• Your analytical mindset, ability to quickly grasp complex topics and strong communication skills enable you to translate security challenges into pragmatic solutions and drive initiatives forward
• A proactive, solution-oriented approach and the willingness to get hands-on, take ownership and continuously develop your expertise characterise your way of working
• Fluency in English is required; additional language skills are an advantage (German, Italian, French)
