We are currently looking for an IT Specialist to join us in Security & Identity Access Management (S&IAM), where our job is to act as the organisation’s first line of defence. Through the reliable operation of our systems, we protect our critical IT infrastructure against incoming threats, responding quickly and minimising damages in case of a potential security breach. 

As an IT Specialist, your primary tasks will include:

• ensuring continuous updating and adjustment of our IT contingency plan and IT risk management framework.

Can you keep calm in stressful situations?
We imagine that you have a relevant educational background along with practical experience in IT security and the surrounding disciplines. You manage to keep calm in stressful situations and excel at educating the organisation on matters of crisis management and IT security. 

Furthermore, you are curious, stay up to date on the newest trends in contingency planning and manage to communicate complex information to both technical and non-technical audiences. Finally, we expect you to be responsible and able to combine your abilities and experiences to ensure progress and the implementation of our IT contingency processes.

You will be working in a section with 28 colleagues. We believe in creating a working environment with great colleagues and insist on a friendly workplace culture with hands-on management, personal development, solidarity and good health.
 
A healthy working life requires a flexible organisation with room for each individual employee—and we offer that. We are ambitious when it comes to both professional results and the well-being of our employees.

We value diversity and encourage all qualified candidates to apply.

As part of our promotion of diversity and inclusion, we have commenced a new initiative to accommodate candidates and employees who do not speak Danish. While our corporate language remains Danish, we have gradually begun recruiting English-speaking candidates in certain parts of the organisation. Unfortunately, we are still in the process of translating all of our touchpoints, which means that you might encounter information in Danish throughout parts of the recruitment process.
