Experienced and newly graduated Technical Risk Managers sought - together we secure the foundation for Denmark's digital defense capability

Do you want to help protect Denmark's digital defense? The Danish Defence Ministry’s Agency for Defence Material and Procurement (FMI) is looking for new cyber security profiles for the Cyber Division. Do you have technical insight, knowledge of security standards and a desire to work with risk management and security accreditation in critical infrastructure? Then you are the one we are looking for.

We are living in a time where cyber threats are growing and the requirements for secure and resilient IT infrastructure are higher than ever. You will play a decisive role in the digital transformation of the defence's IT systems and help ensure that our systems meet both national and international security requirements – from procurement to end-of-life.

About us

The Danish Defence Ministry’s Agency for Defence Material and Procurement (FMI) is responsible for the defence’s materiel and information systems – from tanks and ships to communications equipment and IT systems across the armed forces.

The Cyber Division is one of Denmark's most specialized units within IT security and IT operations under the defence. We ensure that the defence's systems function securely and efficiently – whether used in the Arctic, under international missions or at central offices.

You will become part of the Cyber Security Department, which works closely with top management and consists of three sections: Cyber Security Operations Center , Cyber Security Guidance and Cyber Security Risk and Accreditation . You will become part of the latter – a team of experts who advise on and integrate IT security throughout the system lifecycle.

We combine high professional expertise with an open and inclusive team culture. We believe that diverse perspectives strengthen our work, and we create room for both professional sparring and new ideas. Here you have the opportunity to develop your competencies, work closely with skilled colleagues and contribute directly to Denmark's cyber defence – with the flexibility to also work from home.

About the position

As a Technical Risk Manager you will play a key role in ensuring that all IT systems and components meet the heightened requirements for security and risk management. You will help professionalize and further develop the work with security accreditation and technical risk management – core areas in the defence's digital operations and development.

You will work in a highly specialized team where you both advise and contribute directly to processes, documentation and technical analyses. The goal is to ensure that all solutions – from IT systems to individual components – can be classified and accredited in accordance with applicable standards.

Your tasks will include

• Contribute to concrete security accreditations – e.g., system descriptions, risk assessments, security analyses and non-compliance reviews.
• Advise on technical security requirements and help interpret and concretize them.
• Contribute to the optimization and further development of accreditation processes and methods – including maintenance of guidelines and handbooks.
• Collaborate with FE and other national authorities on joint security methods.
• Educate and advise the organization in technical risk management and security accreditation.
• Prepare threat and vulnerability assessments.
• Participate in relevant IT audits and reviews.
• Prepare input for further reporting to management, steering committees and the board.

Your role – where strategy and technical expertise meet

You will have a facilitating and central role in cross-disciplinary work, where technical security assessments are translated into concrete, operational recommendations. Where you:

• Contribute to clarifying and translating technical security requirements.
• Help formulate acceptance criteria and develop future-proof solution proposals.
• Support documentation and advisory work necessary for security approvals and system classification.

About you

We imagine that you have

• An academic education with technical or IT specialization or another educational background with relevant experience.
• Experience with technical risk management, security accreditation or IT security.
• Insight into national and international standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, 27002 and 27005.
• Good collaboration skills and thrive in the role of sparring partner, advisor and process driver.

It is an advantage, but not a requirement, if you have

• Experience from a similar position – e.g., in a public authority, defence-related organization or a larger company with high compliance requirements.
• Experience with NATO's technical security standards.

You communicate clearly in Danish and English – both verbally and in writing – and convey technically complex topics clearly and purposefully to different stakeholders.
