• Deep expertise in at least two cyber security domains, with the breadth to guide the wider security landscape and a background that combines engineering, architecture, operations, incident response or implementation with consulting.
• Strong knowledge of current threats, attacker techniques and security technologies, and the ability to review and challenge technical designs.
• Experience applying frameworks and standards such as NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, CIS Controls and MITRE ATT&CK, and a solid understanding of the Swiss and European regulatory landscape.

• Experience managing multidisciplinary teams, budgets and senior client relationships, with a track record in business development and leading proposals.
• Relevant certifications (e.g. CISSP, CCSP, CISM, SABSA, GIAC, OSCP) or other recognised expertise, such as publications or conference contributions.
• Professional fluency in English and one Swiss local language; German, French or Italian.
