Job description

For one of our valued clients in the Amsterdam region, we are looking for a Senior IT Risk Officer.

“Make IT more secure. Make impact. Grow further”

Do you get energy from sharply analysing IT risks and determining smart control measures? Do you effortlessly convince colleagues of the importance of good risk management and would you like to help them stay in control of issues such as information security and privacy? Then this is your job! Do you have what it takes to really move organisations forward?

Your role

In an organisation where digital security, compliance and risk management are increasingly important, you play a crucial role. As Senior IT Risk Officer, you will support the first line in identifying and managing risks within complex IT environments.

You will be part of a specialised team in IT Risk, Compliance & Quality Assurance. Together, you ensure the reliability and security of technology, processes and business information. You advise on risks, monitor mitigating measures and report on progress. In addition, you actively participate in projects and programmes and act as the first point of contact for IT risk management.

The IT domain you work with consists of multiple departments managing a variety of applications and infrastructure, from small systems to solutions with a large social reach. You will work intensively with colleagues from the organisation as well as external partners to ensure that the IT environment remains secure, stable and future-proof.

Who you are

You are a proactive professional who takes responsibility for results and moves easily within a larger organisation. You are collaborative by nature, easily connect with different stakeholders and also dare to be critical when necessary.

Information security and risk management are subjects you are passionate about, and you know that this sometimes requires persuasion and breaking through resistance. You help management teams shape their risk management and support colleagues in their further development.

What you bring:

• HBO or academic work and thinking level;
• Up-to-date IT knowledge;
• Strong oral and written communication skills;
• One of the following certifications: CRISC, MoR, CISM or CISA;
• Knowledge of methodologies such as CRSA, Bowtie, COSO ERM, Prince2, Scrum, SAFe;
• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in IT risk management or similar role.
• Competencies that characterise you: persuasiveness, ability to change, initiative, judgement, customer focus and a clear vision of the future.

What we offer you

• 16.33% individual choice budget, to be used for, among other things, extra salary, days off, pension or a sabbatical;
• Over 5 weeks of holidays a year;
• A personal development budget of €3,000 per 3 years.
