Cyber Security & Risk Officer - Network & IAM V ­ X ­ M

What will you be doing?

No one can fool you when it comes to the security of a network or Windows environment, but you know how to stay in control so you can keep track of everything. Let someone else handle the technical details so you can develop policies and evaluate their implementation. You operate from a second-line role: subject matter expertise is essential, but you’re not the one doing the hands-on work—you’re the one who sets the direction, monitors, and ensures compliance. 

As a Cyber Security & Risk Officer – Network & IAM, you are an indispensable member of our teams responsible for Generic IT Services. You are responsible for ensuring the security and integrity of our workstations, firewalls, connectivity, and Azure Cloud environment. You work closely with our Network, IAM, and Workstation teams to develop and implement security strategies that meet the highest standards. 

You’ll be working in a dynamic environment where we primarily follow Agile and DevOps principles. This means you’ll need to adapt quickly, contribute ideas during sprints, and ensure security in a constantly evolving infrastructure. Thanks to your strategic insight and practical approach, you’ll ensure that security measures are not only followed but also continuously optimized. 

Together with the team, you’ll work to keep our organization’s digital infrastructure secure and take it to the next level, staying up to date on the latest threats and trends in your field.

• Flexible compensation budget:19.6% on top of your gross monthly salary, consisting of a vacation allowance (8%), a thirteenth-month bonus (8.33%), a wellness allowance (2.3%), and an additional budget (0.97%). You can have this budget paid out early or use it for things like a bicycle, a sustainable investment, additional pension contributions, extra leave hours, or supplementary training costs.
• Prospect of a permanent position:if we are both satisfied, you will receive a permanent contract after the first year.
