Information Security Consultant for Societally Critical Solutions in the State

Do you want to help protect some of the state’s most important digital solutions? Are you keen to develop professionally, take responsibility and collaborate with many different people to solve complex tasks? Then you may be our new colleague at the Agency for Financial Management.

At the Agency for Financial Management we work for an efficient public sector that creates value for citizens and businesses. We operate and develop a number of common-state solutions that every day support central societal functions across the state.

Therefore we regard information security as a prerequisite. Security is not something we tack on to our solutions. It is something we build them on.

We are seeking an information security consultant for our cross-cutting security team in the Office of New Solutions and Security. You don’t need to be a complete security expert. The most important thing is that you are curious, take initiative and want to learn. In return you will get responsibility, exciting tasks and the opportunity to develop yourself in a professional area that is of increasing importance for the entire state.

About the position As an information security consultant you will become part of the work to ensure robust, reliable and secure digital solutions with significance for ministries and agencies across the state.

You will, among other things, contribute to

• contribute to the implementation and follow-up of NIS2 requirements
• conduct risk assessments of systems, projects and suppliers
• spar with system owners about technical minimum requirements, security requirements and controls
• coordinator security tasks with the State IT, suppliers and other authorities
• prepare analyses, decision proposals and management reporting
• contribute to the development of processes, governance models and security initiatives
• drive independent projects and tasks within information security

A typical week might include dialogue with a project team about security requirements for a new solution, a risk assessment of a system, coordination with State IT about security controls and the preparation of a leadership brief on NIS2 or other current security areas.

From the start you will have responsibility for your own tasks. We do not expect you to know everything from day one. On the other hand, we expect you to be curious, take ownership and have the courage to learn new things.

About you You may be a recent graduate or have some years of relevant experience. Your educational background is less important than your ability to learn, collaborate and deliver results.

We imagine that you

• have a relevant higher education
• have an interest in information security, digitalisation or governance
• can build good collaborative relations across disciplines and organisations
• work independently and take responsibility for your tasks
• are curious and motivated by developing yourself professionally
• can translate complex problems into clear recommendations
• thrive in a daily life with many different tasks and stakeholders

It is an advantage if you have experience with information security, compliance, risk management or project work, but not a requirement.

You do not need to be an expert in information security. We hire you for your potential, your judgment and your desire to learn, not for the number of certifications on your CV.

About us You will become part of the Office of New Solutions and Security at the Agency for Financial Management. We work with information security, digital transformation and new technologies across the state. Our task is both to ensure stable and secure solutions today and to contribute to the development of tomorrow’s digital public sector.

We work closely with ministries, agencies, State IT and suppliers. Our tasks range from classical information security and risk management to implementing new regulations, security in new digital solutions and development of inter-state initiatives.

With us you get the opportunity to work at the intersection of technology, business, collaboration and social responsibility. We place emphasis on integrity, professionalism and collaboration. We believe the best results are created in partnership, and we give our employees freedom with responsibility and good opportunities to develop.

With us presence together with our colleagues means a lot, and we believe that collaboration and knowledge sharing across the agency is essential for a good working environment. At the same time we want to ensure flexibility for our employees, and remote work can be arranged between the manager and the employee as long as it is compatible with task execution.

Terms of employment You are employed under the Danish State’s collective agreement for academics and will be placed as a higher executive officer (fuldmægtig) or consultant depending on your qualifications.

It is a condition of employment that you can be security-cleared and subsequently maintain the security clearance throughout your employment. In connection with the employment you will be asked to submit a private criminal record, which you obtain via www.politi.dk , or by presenting yourself at your local police station. We will tell you more about this during the recruitment process.

The employment area is the Ministry of Finance with its affiliated institutions, currently the Ministry of Finance's department, the State Administration, State IT, the Agency for Financial Management and the Employee and Competence Agency.
