At Siemens Electrification & Automation, we work across energy, infrastructure and industrial environments, where secure and resilient technology is critical to both our business and our customers.

We're growing our cybersecurity capability and looking for a Cybersecurity Professional to join our team. Reporting to the Cybersecurity Assurance Manager, you'll support cybersecurity assurance activities across information security, project delivery, supplier assurance and customer-facing cybersecurity requirements. As you develop within the role, you'll also provide delegated support to the Cybersecurity Assurance Manager, helping to coordinate priorities, engage stakeholders and support activities across the wider business.

We’re looking for someone with relevant cybersecurity experience and a strong technical foundation. Just as importantly, we’re looking for someone who is curious, proactive, motivated to keep learning, and comfortable taking ownership and delivering practical business outcomes.

• Support information security governance activities, including ISO 27001 maturity initiatives, control reviews, assurance reporting, and continuous improvement.
• Provide cybersecurity support throughout the project and delivery lifecycle, including tender activities, risk assessments, design reviews, vulnerability management, and secure-by-design practices.
• Conduct and coordinate cybersecurity assessments of suppliers, contractors, software providers, and third-party service partners, identifying risks and tracking remediation actions.
• Support supplier onboarding, contract reviews, audits, customer assurance activities, pre-qualification questionnaires, and the provision of assurance evidence.
• Work collaboratively with Procurement, IT, Engineering, Project Management, Operations, and other business stakeholders to identify and manage cybersecurity risks.
• Provide support for critical business applications and infrastructure, helping to address control weaknesses, significant changes, and emerging cyber risks.
• Contribute to the development of cybersecurity capability across the business through knowledge sharing, training, guidance materials, and awareness activities.
• Support the development of cybersecurity interns and colleagues building cyber capability, where applicable.
• Provide delegated support for selected Cybersecurity Assurance activities, helping to coordinate urgent assurance, project, tender, or incident-related matters within defined authority levels.
