• Own security across an expanding international group.
• Drive security policies, compliance, risk management and audits.
• Work directly with the Group IT Manager and oversee the external MSP.
• Strengthen incident response, business continuity and disaster recovery.
• Gain strategic influence and technical ownership without people management.

What You Bring

• Strong knowledge of networking, firewalls, VPNs and infrastructure security.
• Experience creating and maintaining security policies and documentation.
• Understanding of NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR or similar frameworks.
• Salary up to €80,000.
• Matched pension contributions up to 5%.
