• Be the first point of contact and internal security consultant for production engineers, IT teams, and solution vendors during onboarding projects.
• Maintain a secure and stable OT/IIoT environment for VTBA, including an accurate, continuously updated OT security asset inventory (CMDB).
• Support Smart Factory projects involving IoT, AI, cloud connectivity, predictive maintenance, and digital manufacturing platforms.
• Define and maintain OT asset inventories, security baselines, and lifecycle management processes.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments, security audits, and penetration testing of industrial systems.
• Act as the security contact for external production and integration partners, reviewing and validating the security quality of their work before systems connect to company networks.
• Drive compliance with IEC 62443, NIS2, ANSSI-aligned practices, and internal IT/OT security regulations across all onboarded solutions.
• Support M&A and acquisition due diligence, assessing and securing newly acquired or previously unregistered OT/IIoT systems.

• Strong understanding of network segmentation, secure remote access, and hardening practices for industrial and IIoT systems.
• Customer Service Skills (interaction with end users and solution vendors).
• ITIL process knowledge.
• Understanding of reporting & data visualization tools such as Microsoft Power BI and Excel.
