• Ensure alignment between cyber strategy, enterprise risk management, and business processes, enabling consistent decision-making

Qualifications

• Bring experience within cybersecurity strategy, enterprise security, or risk & governance functions
• Demonstrated experience with cyber strategy development, operating models, and governance frameworks
• Solid understanding of industry standards and frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST CSF, IEC 62443, FAIR, ISO 31000)
• Experience working with regulatory requirements such as NIS2, CRA, GDPR, or similar
• Experience translating risk insights into strategic priorities and executive-level communication
• Familiarity with data-driven decision-making, dashboards, and performance management (e.g., OKRs, KPIs)

Competencies

To thrive in this role, it is important that you bring/have:

• Effective strategic thinking with the ability to connect vision to execution
• Solid stakeholder management skills, with experience working across global and cross-functional teams
• The ability to bridge technical, risk, and business perspectives into one coherent narrative

• A collaborative mindset and motivation to build and scale capabilities across the organization
• The ability to operate effectively in a shifting and evolving regulatory and threat landscape
• Deep interest in renewable energy, sustainable practices, and continuous improvement

What We Offer

• A key strategic role shaping how cybersecurity supports business growth and resilience
• A collaborative, international environment with exposure to senior leadership and cross-functional teams
• Opportunities to contribute to enterprise-wide decisions and strategy direction
