Job description
Context
For a leading independent gas infrastructure group with 1,200 employees active in gas transmission & storage and liquefied natural gas terminalling, cybersecurity is a key topic. Linked with recent worldwide changes, there are many initiatives to cope with growing threats. To ensure that the measures serve their purpose while keeping in mind the user experience, the company needs an Enterprise Security Architect to translate high-level security measures into practical implementations and guidelines.
This purpose-led company, together with all its stakeholders, contributes to a better society by shaping a bright energy future. Building on the unique assets of gas infrastructure and its commercial and technical expertise, it is committed to accommodating hydrogen, biomethane, or any other carbon-neutral energy carrier of the future.
