We are seeking an OT Cybersecurity Compliance Lead to support projects, systems and operational technology environments across the EMEA region. This role will lead the integration of cybersecurity compliance requirements throughout the lifecycle of OT initiatives, from design and procurement through implementation, commissioning and ongoing operations. You will work closely with engineering, automation, IT, project management, procurement and site teams to ensure that systems are secure, compliant and aligned with applicable policies, standards and regulatory obligations.

Key responsibilities will include defining and maintaining OT cybersecurity requirements; conducting risk assessments, security reviews and compliance evaluations; supporting the development of secure architectures and system designs; and ensuring that appropriate controls are implemented, documented and tested. You will coordinate security activities across multiple projects, review technical documentation, assess suppliers and third parties, track remediation plans and provide clear reporting on risks, exceptions and compliance status. The role will also contribute to audits, inspections, incident preparedness, vulnerability management and continuous improvement of OT cybersecurity processes. Occasional travel across EMEA may be required to support project delivery and operational sites.
