The energy transition is impossible without you as (Data) Security Officer

As a (Data) Security Officer within System Operations, you are the expert advising on digital security and privacy matters at tactical and strategic levels. We’re building the energy grid of tomorrow for everyone, with everyone. And as Security Officer, you’re part of that mission. You’ll be working on:

Everything we do is with care for the people who rely on us: our customers. And thanks to our talented people, we have full confidence in the energy future of the Netherlands. Together with you, we make the energy transition possible—for and with our customers.

And you’ll do that at our business unit Alliander. Your impact on tomorrow’s energy grid starts at System Operations.

That’s only possible if you have enough energy—and the right environment gives you that.

• Knowledge of privacy legislation and experience with compliance and audits.
• Ability to advise independently and engage with stakeholders at all levels.
• Fluency in English, given the international nature of the organization and the ability to speak Dutch at at least B2 level.
