• Have completed an HBO degree or have gained similar experience through several years of work.
• Are enthusiastic about diving deeper into security responsibilities, aiming to become an expert in this area.
• Have some experience with security tooling (for example vulnerability scanning, endpoint data sanitization, and detection/response tools) familiarity with OpsWat or NextPose is a plus. If not, we’re happy to help you develop these skills.

• Possibilities for personal and professional development within the organization, for example on a technical, commercial, or international level.
• Valuable international collaborations with colleagues from 68 countries.
• A comfortable workplace in a modern environment, with attention to flexibility and the right work-life balance.
• Work can usually be done where and when you want. Within Thales, we aim for a 60/40 balance, meaning you can work from home at least two days a week if your role allows.
• A good salary, suitable travel expense reimbursement, and the possibility to personalize your employment conditions annually: you can trade leave days for internet costs, our bicycle plan, company fitness, and moving expenses.
• 40 vacation days per year. Yes, really.
