Overall, you will be part of the cross-region “Production IT Infrastructure & Security Support Team,” taking regional responsibility for Production IT and Security across assigned sites. Using deep domain knowledge of Production IT (OT) infrastructure, networks, servers and clients, you will collaborate closely with site IT technicians, Central Infrastructure Solutions, Security Operations and the CISO to drive improvements, maintenance and security initiatives. You will also coordinate with senior stakeholders to ensure alignment and integration of standards, business continuity plans and patching requirements from an IT perspective.

Your responsibilities will be:

• Leading and engaging sites on IT security patch plans and maintenance, NIS2 requirements and actions, incident response and standardisation assistance.
• Supporting and uplifting Production IT (OT) infrastructure across sites, aligning with central security initiatives and requirements.
• Coordinating with senior stakeholders to align on standards, business continuity plans, and patching roadmaps.
• Driving continuous improvement in OT infrastructure in collaboration with central and site teams.

What will make you successful

You may have an educational background within Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. Most importantly, you have years of professional experience in Production IT Infrastructure and Security across servers and backup, firewalls and networks, or a strong background in FMCG OT production environments in implementation and/or maintenance.

You are familiar with NIS2, NIST and IEC 62443-3 standards and have experience in designing, implementing and maintaining disaster recovery strategies. Your expertise includes risk assessment and business continuity planning to ensure critical operations continue during disruptions.
