Job description
At Trifork Switzerland, we are looking for an ambitious, proactive and persuasive Information Security Officer who wants to take full ownership of our ISMS and systematically expand and elevate it to the next level.
You will operate as the formal Information Security Officer within our Swiss business unit, driving governance, compliance, and security awareness across the organization. While our ISMS is already ISO 27001 certified, there is significant opportunity to further professionalize processes, mature controls, and continuously strengthen our overall security posture.
In addition to owning our ISO 27001-certified ISMS, you will act as Security & Data Protection Agent for the business unit and ensure that incident and change management processes are structured, compliant, and continuously improved.
You will work closely with management, engineering teams, and colleagues in Switzerland, Denmark, and Spain. In addition to owning and advancing our ISMS, you may contribute to selected customer projects.
This is not a back-office compliance role - it is a position for someone who wants to actively shape how security works in an agile, engineering-driven organization.
Requirements
Do you have experience in Financial auditing?, Do you have a Master's degree?, You are a proactive and persuasive Information Security professional who wants to take real ownership of an ISO 27001-certified ISMS and systematically evolve it further. You think in structures, processes, and risks - but you also understand the dynamics of an agile, engineering-driven organization. You are confident enough to enforce policies where necessary and pragmatic enough to implement them in a way that works in practice.
You bring a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field, along with hands-on experience in governance, risk, and compliance. You have a solid understanding of ISO 27001 and practical exposure to risk assessments, policy development, audit preparation, and compliance monitoring. Experience in regulated industries and familiarity with modern cloud environments are strong assets. Certifications such as ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor, CISSP, CISM, or ITIL are a plus - or you are motivated to achieve them with our support.
You enjoy building and refining structures, strengthening controls, and driving continuous improvement rather than merely maintaining the status quo. You take pride in clear documentation, transparent processes, and measurable progress in security maturity. Promoting awareness and helping colleagues understand their role in information security is something you value.
You take responsibility for driving topics forward independently and ensuring that security standards are consistently applied. You are comfortable addressing gaps, challenging stakeholders constructively, and aligning different interests toward a compliant and sustainable solution.
You like working in a collaborative, cross-functional environment with flat hierarchies and high ownership. You appreciate direct communication, knowledge sharing, and a culture where initiative is welcomed.
You speak fluent English; German is a strong advantage in the Swiss context.
