• Develop and harmonize information security policies, guidelines, and processes (e.g., access management, classification, data handling, supplier security).
• Plan and lead information security training and awareness programs across the organization.
• Lead incident management and preparedness for cyber disruptions, including exercises and continuity planning.
• Work closely with key stakeholders such as IT, OT/plant environment, HSE, and quality to ensure that information security supports safe and efficient production.
• Lead the maintenance and development of the document management system.
• Manage the local IT support function.

• Several years of experience in information security management or development roles, e.g., Information Security Manager, CISO, Security Lead, etc.
• Strong expertise in ISO/IEC 27001 and in building and maintaining an ISMS based on it.
• Experience in applying NIS2 or other critical infrastructure security regulations is considered a strong advantage.
• Relevant university degree (e.g., computer science, information security, industrial engineering, or another relevant field).
• Certifications such as:
• ISO 27001/27k Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer
• ISC2 CISSP, ISACA CISM, or equivalent international information security certification
• Cisco CCIE
• Ability to combine business objectives, production environment realities, and information security requirements into practical solutions.
• Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills, with fluent Finnish and English language proficiency.
• Experience in industrial environments, process industries, OT/ICS security, or similar is considered a clear advantage.

• The opportunity to build an information security management system almost from the ground up, influencing structures, operating models, and tools.
• A key role in launching and maintaining a battery chemicals plant as part of the green transition and electrification.
• The chance to grow in the role as the company develops, expanding responsibilities and influencing strategic decision-making.
• Support from an international parent company combined with the agility of a growing Finnish organization.
• A versatile and meaningful position in a rapidly developing industry, with competitive salary and employee benefits.
• A hybrid work model offering the freedom of remote work combined with the community of the office.
