• Support, advise, and guide internal stakeholders on physical security topics, translating requirements into clear, actionable guidance
• Work closely with security professionals across the Nordics, Poland, and Estonia to drive continuous improvement, consistent risk/issue follow-up, and alignment on standards

• Preferably experience from the banking industry or other regulated industry
