Job description

Описание: Please Note: B Lab is not working with a third party to fill this role an no part of our process requires applicants to pay fees. Applicants should only use our job board to submit an application, and will interact directly with our team during this process. This is a Full-Time Role (40 hours per week, 5DWW) with no option for part-time work. While this is a remote‑first opportunity, the candidate filling this role must be a resident of the Netherlands or in the U.K. at the start of employment. Additionally, they must be within commuting distance of our office in Amsterdam or London. Please visit our Careers page to review all opportunities and submit your application for the role(s) that best fit your location and work authorization. This job ad will close automatically at 9:00AM EST on October 27th. The Technology & Data portfolio, provides the digital infrastructure, engineering and data capabilities that enable effective delivery, innovation and learning across the B Lab Global Network. It brings together four groups: Technology & Data Leadership, Product & Platform Engineering, Data & AI, and Infrastructure & Information Management. Infrastructure & Information Management (Operational Technology) is responsible for information security, workforce enablement and the adoption of digital tools across the network. It ensures resilience through secure, reliable infrastructure, and manages hosting, networks, access and incident response. The team is evolving from a function that supported a relatively uniform, single-organization tech stack of approximately 150 users into a globally coordinated department supporting approximately 500 users across a broad range of regions, time zones, languages, technical maturity levels and operational practices. As B Lab consolidates multiple historically independent organizations into a unified operating model through the network transformation, Op Tech is adding regional IT support coverage (US & Canada, Europe, UK, Latin America, APAC & AANZ, with shared coverage for Africa) and dedicated security ownership, while keeping centralized governance, platform ownership and alignment of internal technology initiatives. B Lab is seeking an IT Security & Compliance Lead to own security governance across the global network. Consolidation increases security exposure as organizations with different controls come together, and this role exists to set a consistent baseline and raise our security posture proactively rather than reactively. The Lead conducts security audits and risk assessments, sets and enforces baseline security standards, maintains our information security policy set, coordinates incident response, and supports data protection compliance in the jurisdictions where B Lab operates. Working closely with the Senior Manager of Infrastructure & Information Management, the Regional IT Administrators, and the product, engineering and data teams (including the Data Governance Lead), this role drives consistent security maturity across the network's systems and helps people across the network work securely.
