You will work closely with colleagues in the security function, the organization, and external actors to identify risks, strengthen protection, and create good conditions for a robust and resilient institution.

You report to the security manager, and your main tasks are:

• Operational Security: Drive and coordinate security work related to daily operations and contribute to the development of common processes and routines.
• Analysis Work: Plan, lead, and conduct analyses, assess risk levels, and develop recommendations and action plans.
• Follow-up: Follow up on security-related incidents and implemented measures, thereby contributing to continuous improvement.
• Training and Support: Conduct training sessions, information meetings, and workshops to strengthen security awareness in the organization.
• Collaboration: Participate in internal and external networks, develop contacts with authorities and actors in the security field.
• Participate in personnel security work, such as conducting security screening interviews.
