Your role in the team
- Every day, our people need to understand why security matters—and when IT fails, ALPLA needs to be ready. As an Information Security Expert, you make both happen. You own our security awareness and our IT Emergency Organisation (ITEO), assess information security risks across IT and OT, lead workstreams within our information security programme TRUST, and prepare the evidence for our cyber assessments. You report to the CISO and work closely with colleagues in business, IT, and OT across our regions and plants.
- Take ownership of Security Awareness at ALPLA and drive trainings, phishing simulations and communication campaigns that foster a strong security culture.
- Lead and continuously improve ALPLA's IT Emergency Organisation (ITEO), including processes, roles, documentation and exercises.
- Conduct information security risk assessments in IT and support security assessments in OT environments together with subject matter experts.
- Lead and coordinate workstreams within our global Information Security programme TRUST.
- Collaborate with stakeholders across Business, IT and OT to advance ALPLA's security maturity.
- Support compliance with security standards and regulatory requirements such as ISO 27001 and NIS2.
- Prepare documentation and evidence for audits, cybersecurity assessments, and compliance reviews.
- You own your topics end to end, including the budget for Awareness and ITEO, and keep the CISO informed about status and KPIs.
Our expectations of you
Education
- A degree in a technical, scientific or business field, or a comparable qualification.
Qualifications
- A knack for communication: you explain security clearly to very different audiences, in English and German.
- Good knowledge of information security management systems and frameworks such as NIS2, ISO 27001 and NIST, and an understanding of how security works in both IT and OT.
- A structured, independent way of working: together, we set priorities, and you take ownership and see things through.
Experience
- You take over security awareness and the ITEO from day one. Risk assessments, audit support and your TRUST streams follow step by step over your first year, with coaching from experienced colleagues in the team.
- At least two years of experience in information security or security-related IT, for example identity and access management, incident response or security operations.
- Experience with service ownership, incident response, or emergency management.
- Experience in project or programme work.
What we offer
- Individual development: We support your certifications, for example ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, and further training.
- Shape and further develop ALPLA's global Security programme and IT Emergency Organisation.
- International footprint: You work with regions and plants around the world, across business, IT and OT.
- Room to grow: A clear path towards a senior governance, risk and compliance role.
- Space for your own education: Flexible working hours, study days and a contribution towards further education, by individual agreement.
- Short lines: You report directly to the CISO.
- Attractive employee discounts, health initiatives and sports activities, including access to the ALPLA Gym.
- Legally mandatory note: In line with the minimum salary stipulated in the collective agreement, the actual salary for this position is based on professional qualifications and experience.
