Job summary

EQS Group in Barcelona is seeking a Customer-facing security specialist embedded in the Sales organization to educate customers on EQS’s security proposition and coordinate responses across information security, engineering, product management and legal.

This role focuses on establishing trust, handling risk, and translating customer requirements into internal actions, while supporting audits and security tests. The position is hybrid with a modern Barcelona office and EU-wide flexibility.

Qualifications

• Strong foundation in information security management, risk, and compliance in a customer-facing context.
• Ability to explain technical topics simply and credibly (cloud security, IAM, encryption, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, SDLC, incident response).
• Experience supporting typical third-party/security due diligence practices, including financial services customers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to produce crisp questionnaire answers and present to technical and executive audiences.
• Commercial mindset: pragmatic, solution-oriented, able to balance risk and deal with timelines.
• Working knowledge of EU regulatory expectations, especially DORA and NIS2, and their impact on SaaS providers (resilience, ICT risk, incident reporting, supplier risk, governance).
• Basic knowledge of AI security and governance topics relevant to customer questions (e.g., data/model risk, prompt/injection risks, supplier controls, monitoring/misuse).

Responsibilities

• Drive commercial booking activity as the primary customer-facing expert on platform architecture, infrastructure, and security program implementation.
• Lead customer security discussions and due diligence activities (calls, workshops, questionnaires, customer steering committees, RFP/RFI) and support the coordination of customer-driven audits and security tests.
• Explain EQS’s security posture and provide evidence (controls, policies, attestations/certifications, architecture summaries, SDLC practices).
• Develop a deep understanding of the EQS product suite and the use cases that are supported by our solutions.
• Coordinate inputs across Information Security, Engineering, Product Management, and Legal; manage escalations and exceptions.
• Maintain the questionnaire/answers database (standard answers, versioning, evidence links, control mappings, review cadence).
• Support completion of customer security questionnaires; ensure accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery.
• Translate recurring customer asks into actionable security improvements and product/engineering feature requests with business rationale.
• Capture specific customer security requirements, map to EQS controls, identify gaps, and propose options (standard position, compensating controls, roadmap, or risk acceptance).
• Support risk‑based decisions and track requirement status; communicate clearly to Sales and customers.
• Keep alignment with the EQS CISO; involve the CISO for strategic customers, elevated risk acceptance, major exceptions, or executive‑level assurances.
• Partner with Legal during contract negotiation to address security/privacy/compliance clauses and ensure commitments are deliverable, escalating to the CISO where necessary.
• Help to maintain and improve the EQS Trust Portal content in line with publication governance and review cycles.
