Information Security Officer

You are a dynamic, pragmatic, and proactive professional with a strong foundation in IT, cyber security, and personal leadership.

What are you going to do?

You roll up your sleeves alongside a bilingual team of around 17 colleagues, including information security officers, a security architect, a risk manager, and business continuity advisors. We are a diverse team with a wide range of expertise and experience levels, coming together every Thursday to strengthen our team spirit.

As part of the ISOs & Specialists team, you spend at least one day per week at the office (Thursday) to collaborate, and you ensure you stay well connected with your teammates and stakeholders. We work in an informal environment with plenty of freedom. You’re comfortable working independently and finding out what needs to be done.

Team & culture

What You Bring Energy To

In the coming years, Enexis faces major challenges. We are working toward a CO₂-neutral energy system while keeping the energy transition feasible and affordable for everyone.

Digitalization will play a crucial role in solving these challenges, as it enables us to perform more work at lower cost and with lower risks. It is a fundamental transformation in how we think, work, and create value. It requires a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement—from technician to director. We do not underestimate the scale of the change ahead; it requires us to acquire new skills and look out for one another. Together, we are building an organization prepared for the future—one that integrates sustainability and technology to serve our customers and society.

“We believe that a digital infrastructure is essential for executing our work in the physical infrastructure more accurately, predictably, and efficiently, ensuring our customers receive sustainable energy on time.

By 2034, our digital and physical infrastructures will be fully equivalent.”
