We’re looking for an IT Security Architect to join us at Telia Norway to help strengthen security and enable scalable delivery across our IT landscape.

I’m Vibeke Jørpeland, Head of IT Value Delivery, and I’m looking for someone to grow with us. You’ll join a team that enables delivery of IT solutions, from architectural design and planning through implementation across a complex IT landscape.

What you’ll do:

In this role, you will ensure proper security architecture across our IT solutions by applying secure-by-design practices best practices:

• Strong knowledge of security principles for distributed and integrated systems, and how to apply them in real-world delivery
• Experience with security risk assessments and threat modelling and secure solution design
• Familiarity with security frameworks and standards (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, OWASP, Zero Trust)
• Experience working with agile delivery and working close to development teams, embedding security into design and delivery process
• Ability to work autonomously, manage parallel activities, and communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders
