System administrator with specialization in cybersecurity

Would you like to help strengthen cybersecurity at a university college where IT supports education, research and professional practice every day?

In Team IT we are expanding the team with a system administrator who will have cybersecurity as their primary focus area. You will become part of a strong technical environment where you will work closely with other system administrators, IT architects and security resources. Together you will work to protect Absalon's IT platforms, data and digital services.

The position is newly created, and you therefore have a unique opportunity to influence both working methods and priorities. We are looking for a profile who can think strategically but primarily translate plans into concrete implementations. You must be able to drive security initiatives from idea to operations, while actively participating in the technical work yourself.

Your profile

We imagine that you have experience as a system administrator, infrastructure specialist, security consultant or similar, and wish to work even more purposefully with cybersecurity.

You are curious about new threats and technologies, and you thrive on converting security requirements into practical solutions that make a real difference. At the same time you have the ability to create momentum and follow up on tasks, even when multiple stakeholders and domains are involved.

We place particular emphasis on you

• Have experience with operation and administration of modern IT platforms.
• Have experience with cyber security and technical security solutions.
• Have worked with or have extensive knowledge of the CIS18 controls
• Have knowledge of the state’s technical minimum requirements for IT security.
• Have experience with Microsoft’s security platform, including Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, Entra ID and related security products.
• Work in a structured way with documentation, follow-up and implementation.
• Thrive in collaborating widely across the organization.
• Preferably have experience driving implementation projects as project manager, technical lead or equivalent.

Your responsibilities

The position is new, and the tasks will develop in line with both the threat landscape and the organization’s needs. You will play a central role in strengthening Absalon’s cybersecurity and will, among other things, work with:

• Implementation and operation of technical security solutions across Absalon’s IT environment.
• Planning and execution of security improvements based on the CIS18 controls and the state’s technical minimum requirements.
• Implementation of security features in the Microsoft platform, including Microsoft Defender, Sentinel and Entra ID.
• Monitoring, analyzing, following up and addressing security incidents and risks.
• Hardening of servers, clients, identity solutions and cloud services.
• Participation in vulnerability management, patch management and technical security assessments.
• Execution of technical controls and follow-up on identified improvement areas.
• Project management or technical coordination of security projects and implementation processes.
• Collaboration with other system administrators on design, implementation and operation of secure solutions.
• Contribution to documentation, standardization and further development of Absalon’s security level.

You will become part of a team where collaboration, knowledge sharing and professional development are a natural part of everyday life. We do not expect you to know all technologies in advance, but we do expect you to have the desire and ability to continuously develop within an area that is constantly changing.

We have a broad catalog of services and competencies in user support, networks, system development, project management, didactics, learning technologies, digitalization, reporting, analyses and more.

We strive to be service-minded and competent partners in everything we do. We have an informal culture and our sense of humor is well developed. We also enjoy cake, but we have a healthy and varied canteen arrangement and the opportunity to exercise in our fitness room or simply on the many stairs on campus. We are located on Absalon’s new campus right next to Slagelse Station, and you will have one of Slagelse’s best views from your desk.
