About the role
Are you passionate about information security and want to be part of a company that prioritizes security, sustainable solutions and fossil freedom? Are you committed, innovative and want to work in an inclusive environment where your ideas and development are highly valued? We are looking for a committed information security specialist who wants to be part of the development of our information security and digitization!"
Vattenfall is a leading player in the energy sector with ambitious climate goals and a strong vision for a sustainable future. Vattenfall's climate targets are quality approved for SBTi and are in line with the Paris Agreement target of 1.5 degrees. For example, reaching net zero emissions throughout the value chain by 2040. Vattenfall is actively working towards a fossil-free and sustainable future. We believe in a work environment where everyone can grow and contribute with their unique strengths.
In the role of Information Security Specialist, you will belong to the IT Security department. We are a large team working with security issues with many different skills and previous experience and with increased pressure on regulatory requirements, we are now looking for more committed employees who want to help strengthen our work.
The role of Information Security Specialist
The role of Information Security Specialist is a key role in ensuring that Vattenfall Eldistribution meets the high internal and external regulatory requirements in information security that help protect our critical information systems and digital assets. In this role, you need to be comfortable making internal contacts as you work closely with different internal departments. You will, among other things, work right into the core of the business to follow up that the implementation of security measures takes place and has the expected effects, conduct risk analyses and ensure that our processes and systems are in line with current legislation. You also need to keep up to date through business intelligence and read writings and reports published by authorities that affect the field of information security. In the role, you should strive to always be at the forefront and preferably one step ahead in meeting requirements.
Requirements
We are looking for you who are curious, solution-oriented and want to contribute with your skills and experience to create a secure and sustainable IT and information environment. We believe that you have experience in information security and have worked with risk management or IT security before. You should have experience working with regulatory requirements and compliance. If you have certifications or training in information security, that's a plus, but we see your willingness to learn and develop as more important than certification and training.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a firm grasp of the latest in NIS2, NCCS or any of the other EU directives. But you are willing and interested in learning more in this area. You probably already have a good knowledge of information security standards and frameworks such as ISO 27001 and experience in risk management and security assessments. Strong analytical skills and a structured approach are essential. In addition, you should have good communication skills and the ability to collaborate with different stakeholders on strategic, tactical and operational tasks. Good knowledge of Swedish and English both in speech and writing is a requirement.
