Villagatan 25, Stockholm, Švédsko

Would you like to work with IT security close to development and have a clear mandate to translate identified security risks into concrete actions? We are now recruiting a Senior IT Security Specialist for one of our clients in Stockholm. Here you will have a central role in security work where the focus is on getting things done together with the development teams. You will work both proactively and reactively with security issues, incidents and vulnerabilities – with ample opportunity to use your experience to assess what is actually most important to prioritize. ABOUT THE ROLE: As a Senior IT Security Specialist, you will be an important link between security and development. You will receive security findings from, for example, scans, reviews, incidents and external reports, translate these into concrete actions and work together with the development teams to ensure that the right issues are addressed. The role typically does not involve you writing code yourself. However, you need to have a good technical understanding, understand the developers' reality and be able to communicate security issues in a way that works in practice. An important part of the role is being able to make risk-based prioritizations. Not all security risks are equally critical and you need to be able to understand the big picture, identify what is most important to protect and assess which actions will have the greatest impact based on both business needs and technical reality. You will also serve as an experienced "second opinion" when complex security issues arise and contribute to developing the team's competence and approach to security. YOUR MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES: Receive and analyze security findings from scans, reviews, incidents and external reports Translate identified vulnerabilities and risks into concrete actions for the development teams Drive and follow up on the implementation of prioritized security measures Work with incident management, including log analysis and technical assessments Make risk-based prioritizations based on business value and technical reality Provide quick recommendations during security incidents, for example regarding whether systems or functionality need to be restricted or shut down Serve as an experienced second opinion on complex security issues Collaborate closely with developers and other technical functions Contribute to developing the team's knowledge and capability in the security area WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU You have solid experience in IT and cybersecurity and are used to working close to development teams in technically complex environments. You have the ability to move from identified risk to actual action and understand that successful security work is about prioritization, communication and implementation just as much as identifying vulnerabilities. To succeed in this role, we see that you: Have senior experience in IT security Have a good understanding of software development and developers' technical reality Can analyze security findings and translate them into concrete and feasible actions Have experience with incident management, log analysis and technical security assessments Work pragmatically and risk-based rather than viewing security issues as black or white Can identify the organization's most critical assets and prioritize security work accordingly Are confident in making and communicating quick decisions when the situation requires it Can challenge, support and collaborate with development teams without security work becoming an obstacle to development Experience from penetration testing, offensive security or similar work with vulnerabilities, root cause analysis and risk reduction is highly meritorious. You also need to be comfortable working in English, which is the group language. ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client is a Swedish consulting firm operating in IT, telecom and industry. The company works to connect specialist expertise with technically complex operations and has a clear focus on quality, long-term collaborations and competence development. You will become part of an organization where technical expertise is highly valued and where you will have the opportunity to work with advanced issues while continuing to develop within your specialist field.
