• Oversee security incident response, including coordination of the Information Security Incident Response Team.

• Manage subcontractors supporting security workstreams.

We're looking for candidates who bring a strong technical background and a collaborative mindset. You should have:

• A technical degree in Network Security, Cybersecurity, or a related field.

• In-depth experience with ISO 27001/27002 and IEC62443 standards.
