• support efforts on maturing our Supply chain security controls and program.
• provide guidance and training to colleagues and business units on cyber security compliance requirements.  
• keep your skills and knowledge up to date to ensure our solutions and advice stay relevant.

• have 5+ years of experience from a similar role within Information Security/Governance, Risk or Compliance.

If you already have experience from the Renewable Energy or similar sector, where OT is a key part of the business, that would be a big plus.

As a person, you have strong stakeholder management skills, as the daily tasks involve cross-functional and cross-cultural collaboration. You enjoy being a boundary spanner and working with other teams and external business partners to succeed in advancing compliance and security maturity for the group.
