Incident Response & Resilience: Coordinate site-level incident responses, managing escalations to global teams when required.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with IT, Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to embed security into digital initiatives (e.g., Industry 4.0, IoT, MES).
You are an agile, solution-oriented professional who thrives in a complex, regulated environment. You combine strong technical acumen in manufacturing cyber security with exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills.
Qualifications & Skills:
