• Align local implementations with global security standards and architecture

Awareness, Culture & Training:
• Support the rollout and adaptation of global information security strategy at the site level
• Deliver and coordinate security awareness and training initiatives
• Promote a security-conscious culture across IT, OT, and business teams

Metrics & Reporting:
• Prepare regular reports on risks, incidents, and compliance status for local leadership
• Support communication and alignment with corporate security and CISO organization

• Contribute to audit preparation and remediation tracking

What makes you stand out

• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years in cybersecurity, information security, IT risk, or related roles

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with industrial security standards and guidance (e.g., IEC 62443 concepts)
• Experience with enterprise ecosystems such as SAP, manufacturing execution systems, and integrated plant applications
• Certifications (one or more): CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor, GIAC, or equivalent
• Experience collaborating with global security teams in a matrix organization

What to look forward to

• Attractive Remuneration: The expected competitive compensation range for this position is $88,390-$110,496 CAD, which includes base pay and target amount of short term incentive plan.
• In addition we offer competitive benefits: our program is flexible to allow you to make the selections and get the coverage you need.
