Information Security Officer for Accreditation & Compliance

Would you like to help develop and manage the build of the new IT platform and contribute decisively to the Defence's combat capability by applying your professional expertise and IT skills in an area with political and operational attention?

Overall, NATO and the Danish Defence are facing a comprehensive digital and operational transformation to be able to meet future challenges. Transformation is time-critical and involves a cyber-secure, technological, digital and data-centric modernization and organization of the entire Ministry of Defence group.

Therefore we are building a corporate-wide program organization at the Ministry of Defence’s Agency for Defence Acquisition and Logistics (FMI), which is overall responsible for building the digital and data-centric future defence and for steering the digital and operational transformation.

About us

We are looking for a colleague who can help ensure the continued building of the program and deliver on the many exciting tasks the program has.

The program is organized into two main tracks

• Execution: responsible for a new digital backbone and application migration to the new digital backbone.
• Digital foundation: responsible for architecture, data model and governance, sourcing and industry collaboration as well as cyber security

The program is part of the IT staff at FMI, and works closely with our colleagues in the cyber division and the “Data, IT and Governance”

The program must ensure that the Defence receives a timely and secure IT support in accordance with the settlement agreement and the corporate-wide digitalization strategy for 2025-2033. In addition, the program must implement conclusions and recommendations from IT analyses, which among other things concern the Defence's IT foundation and the need for technological modernization. IT support must thus contribute to a digital transformation of the group and to strengthening the Defence's combat capability.

Increased digitalization is essential for the group to be a timely workplace and to meet NATO strength targets.

The building of a solid IT organization is currently ongoing, and you will become part of FMI and the Program Digital and Operational Transformation (DOT), where your colleagues will be both military and civilian.

We emphasize a good working environment in modern facilities with a standard 37-hour work week, flexible working hours and a paid lunch break. At our unique workplace, you will have time for a life outside work, without you having to sacrifice opportunities for skills development and relevant challenges.
