Vacant job

mnemonic responds to the Nordic region’s most serious cyberattacks. We work side by side with Europe’s most important organisations and critical infrastructure to protect them from the cyberattacks they see today, and what they can expect to see tomorrow.

With more than 450 employees in the Nordics, we are amongst the largest pure-play security companies in Europe, and continue to grow rapidly in Sweden and internationally. In addition, we are continually ranked by Great Place to Work as one of Europe’s top workplaces.

Do you want to take on a role where you not only work with information and cyber security – but also influence how organisations prioritise, govern, and invest in security at the executive level? mnemonic is now looking for a Principal CISO Consultant who wants to combine strategic advisory with clear responsibility for the customer, business, and development.

This is a role for you who sees GRC as a business-critical function and wants to work in complex assignments where security, operations, and technology meet.

About the role

mnemonic is an established and growing European cybersecurity company working with some of society’s and business’s most operationally critical environments. The company is particularly recognised for its SOC and MDR services and holds a strong position in complex security environments.

As a Principal CISO Consultant, you play a central role in delivering strategic advisory services within Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC). You work closely with executive-level customers and act as an advisor on matters concerning governance, risk, investments, and security strategy. The role entails overall responsibility – from analysis and advisory to implementation and further development – in assignments where security is a crucial part of the customer’s operations. The work is carried out in close collaboration with both operational and technical functions. In addition to delivery, the role involves clear responsibility for developing customer relationships, identifying business opportunities, and contributing to strengthening mnemonic’s position within GRC, in collaboration with sales, pre-sale, and other functions within mnemonic.

In the role of Principal CISO Consultant, you are responsible for, among other things:

• Taking overall responsibility for complex customer assignments within information security and GRC
• Acting as a strategic advisor to executive teams on matters of governance, risk, and investments
• Serving as CISO support or interim CISO in customer organisations
• Leading initiatives related to the establishment and transformation of security work
• Driving the development of customer relationships and identifying new business opportunities
• Participating in and leading pre-sales processes
• Contributing to the development of mnemonic’s GRC offering
• Serving as senior competence and a sparring partner internally and externally

The role involves responsibility for both delivery and business, where the ability to combine advisory services with a business perspective is central. This means working in parallel on multiple assignments where requirements for structure, quality, and prioritisation skills are central.

The position is located at our office in Sundbyberg, with the possibility of a flexible working arrangement combining office work and remote work. Travel to our headquarters in Oslo occurs.

Is this you?

To succeed in the role, we see that you have an academic education in fields such as IT, information security, or equivalent, along with extensive experience in information security and GRC work. You have experience in establishing, developing, or leading information security work at an organisational level, and have worked with governance, risk management, and compliance in complex environments, preferably in a consulting role. You are well-versed in frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, or similar, and have experience implementing or further developing these. You have worked closely with executive teams and are accustomed to driving issues related to security strategy, investments, and prioritisation. You have likely held a role as CISO, Deputy CISO, or senior advisor/consultant. Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CRISC are meritorious, as is experience working practically with regulatory requirements and translating these into governance, processes, or control structures.

You have a business-minded approach and experience working in consultative environments or roles where you have contributed to developing customers and assignments over time. As a person, you are confident, trustworthy, and communicative. You have strong analytical skills and can create structure in complex contexts, while being pragmatic and solution-oriented. You thrive in a role where you get to combine strategic thinking with concrete implementation.

The role requires very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written, as well as valid right to work in Sweden.

What we offer you

At mnemonic, you will have a central role in an organisation where GRC is an important part of the offering, and where you will work on assignments with high complexity and business-critical significance.

You will become part of an environment where strategic advisory is combined with deep technical competence, enabling work in some of the market’s most advanced security assignments.

The role offers significant autonomy and influence, along with competitive compensation, a generous bonus model, the opportunity for share ownership, and a flexible working arrangement.

mnemonic has been ranked as one of Europe’s best workplaces by Great Place to Work for several years.

We look forward to having you on our continued journey.
