• Contributing to Security Risk Assessment (SRA) within information and cyber security as well as the annual security and resilience plan
• Representing Vattenfall Vattenkraft at the business area and group level, for example in the Generation Information and Cyber Security Forum.

Requirements

We are looking for you who have extensive experience in information security and thrive in a role where you can combine analysis, collaboration, and development. You are confident in your competence and comfortable navigating complex environments where many perspectives meet.

We would like you to have:

• Post-secondary education in information security or equivalent practical experience in the field
• Several years of experience in information security, including developing and driving systematic security work and contributing to business development

• Experience working with analyses, investigations, and controls within the security area
• Experience handling security classified information
• Good communication skills in Swedish and English, both written and verbal
• Category B driver's license (travel is part of the role).
