At a glance

We are looking for an infrastructure security leader that can work with our infrastructure colleagues to ensure that our IT infrastructure is and remains secure. We are looking for a content leader, someone that can build effective and cooperative relations and bridges with our infrastructure department, and that can lead our Infrastructure Security team (approx. ⚠ FTE).

Your job

As our Expert Lead for Infrastructure Security you act in a quick-paced and continuously changing environment. We have a hybrid platform strategy, with internal platforms as well as external cloud platforms. And of course also a complete workplace estate. We aim to standardize and secure as much as possible through automation and adopting new features. Our CoE therefore needs to stay on top of infrastructure developments, within our organization in interaction with our IT infrastructure teams, but also outside our organization in the marketplace. We act as a trusted advisor on the future of our infrastructure security, but also monitor current security levels and are not afraid to intervene when necessary. This requires a balance between positive communication, active stakeholder management, in-depth infrastructure knowledge and a security risk management mindset.

Relevant topics that you might encounter in this position are migrations to public cloud, re-platforming initiatives, strengthening network security, new regulatory requirements (for instance encryption and data protection), security control automation, and the design of an (even more) secure infrastructure in the future.

MCDN Match is a key player in the Dutch financial sector. As such we also feel socially responsible, and contribute to activities of the MCDN Match Foundation. We also facilitate your own social movement by giving you time off for that.

Within MCDN Match and also within CISO we have a great variety of colleagues, with many different cultural, national and social backgrounds. That is why we foster diversity. We want to ensure that all MCDN Match colleagues can develop themselves in a safe and inclusive environment, with respect for one another.
