Nordnet redefined the financial world as the first digital bank in Europe. Now we are about to do it again and the aim is to create the next generation of bank, in the cloud. We know this requires great people, great teams, great leadership, and great security. Do you want to build the most secure banking platform in the Nordics? We are seeking a Head of Security to join the management team for Tech and drive our security strategy forward, while building a high-performing technology department.
Overview
We are a technology company operating in a trust business with high expectations on user experience. Our success is as dependent on rapid innovation as it is on protecting our customers' data and assets. Key to our success is turning innovation and security into everyone's responsibility. This is the rationale behind our 'shift-left' approach to security, which engages our entire 250-person Tech department in actively contributing to protecting our platform. We are searching for a visionary leader who can create and implement a security strategy that aligns with our 'shift-left' approach, balancing our need for high-paced innovation with the necessary controls and security associated with running a licensed business.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute a security strategy that balances team autonomy and alignment with Nordnet's security objectives
- Lead and support the security team and promote a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration
- Evolve and uphold Nordnet's capability to monitor threats and vulnerabilities as well as detect, investigate, respond to and recover from incidents
- Collaborate with leaders across the organization to embed security considerations in all Tech teams and departments
- Promote a culture of security awareness throughout the organization
- Stay ahead of emerging security trends, regulations, and technologies to continuously enhance our security posture
What we believe in
We take great pride in our culture, valuing collaboration, self-leadership and ownership. We believe motivated teams solving tough problems together are an even more important key to company success than the best strategy can ever offer. This is something we expect you to embody in your daily work. Central to our approach are empowered teams and individuals who are continuously striving for improvement. We prefer learning through hands-on experience and experiments, and we embrace diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We strive to use data to create clarity and support decisions, ensuring that we remain adaptable and forward-thinking.
This Is You
- Experienced in managing security teams within dynamic, tech-driven environments.
- Seasoned in pragmatic application of security frameworks such as NIST
- Proficient in designing and implementing comprehensive security frameworks, policies, and practices.
- Skilled in crisis management, with the ability to lead effectively during security incidents.
- Strong communicator and capable of facilitating collaboration across departments.
- Passionate about developing teams, promoting security awareness, and driving cultural change.
- Experience with cloud security and infrastructure is desirable.
- Experience as Information/IT Security specialists, Security Engineer or similar positions within tech-driven environments
- Formal education in a relevant field
What we offer
