This is a business-oriented and managerial role, focused on strategy, communication, and execution rather than technical specialization. You will oversee a team of two security officers and collaborate closely with stakeholders across all business functions, ensuring compliance, risk management, and alignment with organizational objectives. Your role extends beyond IT, including oversight of cybersecurity in industrial automation and operational technology (OT) environments, making industry experience highly desirable.

Provide clear, actionable reporting to various stakeholder levels, including executives, operational teams, and the shareholder.
• Risk Management & Compliance : Ensure Stahl's cybersecurity maturity levels meet or exceed compliance standards such as NIS and CMM. Perform regular assessments to identify vulnerabilities and implement risk mitigation strategies across IT and OT domains. Monitor and adapt to the latest developments in cybersecurity and compliance, ensuring the organization stays ahead of emerging threats.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Communication : Act as a liaison between the cybersecurity function and all business units, fostering organization-wide understanding and support for security initiatives. Communicate complex security topics in a clear and relatable manner, enabling actionable agendas across the organization. Build consensus and drive alignment for cybersecurity strategies across diverse teams and leadership levels.
• Execution & Hands-On Leadership : Oversee the execution of a diverse portfolio of security projects, ensuring timely delivery and measurable impact. Adopt a hands-on approach when needed to resolve challenges and maintain momentum on key initiatives. Promote a "can-do" culture within the security team and broader organization.

Profile

• Demonstrated experience in a senior cybersecurity leadership role, preferably as a CISO or similar position.
• Industry background in manufacturing or industrial environments is preferred, with exposure to operational technology (OT) security.
