Job description

Trinamics is a well-known, specialized name in technical recruitment in the Netherlands, and a familiar and trusted partner not only for candidates but also for employers. We help technical candidates, from experienced specialists to promising talent, secure a permanent position with strong employers in the high-tech industry. We work on a secondment-to-permanent basis: you start on assignment through Trinamics, with the genuine prospect of a direct contract with the client afterwards. Throughout the assignment, your employment conditions mirror those of the client's own workforce, since the client sets these terms itself.

About our client

Our client is a world-leading technology company in the semiconductor industry, developing and building the advanced systems that chipmakers worldwide rely on to produce microchips. With tens of thousands of employees and a global footprint, it operates through several business sectors supported by large central IT and Security organizations. Keeping its operations resilient against cyber threats is a top priority.

What you'll do

You join the Sector Risk Management team within Procurement, a team of experienced specialists and IT auditors who assess security risks across the organization. Within a high-profile cyber resilience program, you are the content expert who creates and updates business and IT recovery runbooks for the Strategic Sourcing & Procurement and Planning & Delivery sectors, using the existing methodology. This is a hands-on expert role, not a project management role.

On the business side, you:

• Map procurement processes (direct and indirect), ordering systems, incoming parts, warehousing and logistics step by step
• Determine which processes are mission- or business-critical and which applications support them
• Define fallback procedures for the key question: how does the business keep running when IT is unavailable?

On the IT side, you:

• Interview application managers, infrastructure and application teams and cloud suppliers
• Assess whether backups are properly arranged, restore tests have been performed and continuity measures such as failover and redundancy are in place
• Document how each application is recovered
• Flag risks, advise on remediation and critically verify that remediation has actually been carried out; IT implements the technical changes

You also arrange the practical side of incident readiness, such as agreeing who needs to be on site during a calamity. You work with stakeholders ranging from process owners and analysts to business architects and senior management. What makes you successful here is an auditor's mindset: curious, objective and fact-driven, wanting to know exactly how things work and not settling for less.

What you bring

• Hands-on experience in business continuity, IT service continuity, disaster recovery, IT risk or IT audit
• Understanding of business processes, preferably in procurement, supply chain or logistics
• Technical knowledge of networks, IP protocols, servers, virtualization and databases
• Knowledge of backup and restore, failover and disaster recovery concepts
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or Information Technology is a plus
• Fluent English; Dutch is an advantage

What's on offer

• A 12-month assignment in one of the most relevant fields in IT today, adding standout experience to your CV
• A team of seasoned risk specialists and IT auditors to learn from and work alongside
• An international, high-tech environment with direct access to both business and IT
• Employment conditions equal to those of the client's own employees, including holidays and ADV days in line with the client's collective labour agreement

Please note: this role is not suitable for freelancers or self-employed contractors (zzp'ers).
