Job description

Lead and develop IT security at Bonava in Stockholm. Work with Azure, Microsoft 365 and cybersecurity in a cloud‑first environment.

At Bonava, we are not only building houses, we are also creating homes and neighbourhoods where people live their lives. To keep our digital world safe, we are now looking for an IT Security Specialist to lead and develop our cybersecurity landscape.

This is a broad role where you will combine strategic vision with hands‑on expertise. You will work closely with colleagues across infrastructure, governance and operations to strengthen our security posture, drive continuous improvement and ensure our cloud‑first environment remains secure, compliant and resilient.

If you are motivated by taking ownership, influencing security strategies and working with modern Microsoft technologies in a business‑critical environment, this is an opportunity to make a real impact across the organisation.

About the Job

At Bonava, you will have the opportunity to shape how we protect our systems, services and data moving forward. You will join an organisation where security is an important enabler for the business and where your expertise will influence both strategy and operations.

You Will Have the Opportunity to

• Take overall responsibility for IT security across Bonava
• Work in a cloud‑first environment built primarily on Microsoft Azure
• Influence and develop security frameworks, processes and ways of working
• Combine strategic security initiatives with hands‑on technical work
• Collaborate with stakeholders across IT and the wider business
• Enjoy a flexible hybrid working model from our central Stockholm office

You Will

• Strengthen and maintain security across Bonava’s systems and data
• Monitor the threat landscape and initiate preventive measures
• Manage and develop security infrastructure
• Educate users and promote a strong security culture across the organisation
• Drive improvement initiatives related to security and compliance
• Provide informed guidance to management on security risks, incidents and strategic priorities to enhance the organisation’s security posture

You will be part of the IT Infrastructure and Compliance team, working alongside colleagues within infrastructure, governance and operations.

Bonava operates with a cloud‑first IT strategy, primarily leveraging Microsoft Azure. While the focus is on modern cloud‑based solutions, the environment remains hybrid, with certain systems and services still managed on‑premises.

The position is based in central Stockholm and offers a hybrid work model with flexibility to work from home.

We believe you will thrive in this role if you have a few years of experience within IT Security or Infrastructure and enjoy working in an environment where strategic thinking and hands‑on problem‑solving go hand in hand.

You Also Have

• Strong knowledge of Microsoft 365 Security tools, like Defender, Intune and Sentinel
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Defender, Intune and automation
• Understanding of Azure environments and hybrid setups
• Understanding of network security principles
• Experience working with enterprise network environments
• Skills in scripting, preferably PowerShell or Python
• A proactive, structured and responsible approach
• Excellent communication skills in English

As a person, you are collaborative and take initiative to move your work forward. You are a clear and confident communicator who builds trust with stakeholders across the organisation. You exercise good judgement, stay up to date with developments in the cybersecurity landscape and enjoy finding practical solutions to complex challenges.

It is considered a plus if you have experience working with governance, risk and compliance frameworks, as well as log management and analysis. Swedish language skills are also considered an advantage.
