Your Role And Key Responsibilities

The Information Security Officer (ISO) for PowerCo Canada is accountable for establishing, operating, and continuously improving the local information security program across IT and Operational Technology (OT). The ISO ensures that security controls, governance, and risk management practices align with PowerCo/VW Group security requirements, Canadian regulatory expectations, and industry best practices—while enabling safe, reliable manufacturing operations.

This role leads the local implementation of security policies, drives risk assessments, coordinates incident response, and ensures security is embedded in key programs such as factory IT/OT networks, business applications, MES/quality systems, end-user computing, vendor services, and cloud integrations.

  • Participate in major incident investigations and contribute to root cause analysis and corrective actions
  • Assist in vulnerability management, including tracking remediation and validating closure
  • Work with SOC/CSIRT and service providers to ensure effective operational security

Third-Party / Supplier Security

  • Support vendor security assessments and onboarding activities
  • Ensure security requirements are understood and applied in supplier engagements
  • Assist in monitoring third-party compliance and risk mitigation actions

Security Architecture & Projects Enablement

  • Contribute to the implementation of security and safety strategies defined at corporate or site level
  • Provide practical security guidance to IT, OT, and project teams
  • Support integration of security requirements into projects, systems, and solutions
  • Align local implementations with global security standards and architecture

Awareness, Culture & Training

  • Support the rollout and adaptation of global information security strategy at the site level
  • Deliver and coordinate security awareness and training initiatives
  • Promote a security-conscious culture across IT, OT, and business teams

Metrics & Reporting

  • Prepare regular reports on risks, incidents, and compliance status for local leadership
  • Support communication and alignment with corporate security and CISO organization
  • Take ownership of assigned security domains or controls, ensuring effective implementation and maintenance
  • Contribute to audit preparation and remediation tracking

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Bachelor’s degree in IT, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • 5+ years in cybersecurity, information security, IT risk, or related roles

  • Security frameworks: ISO 27001/27002, NIST CSF, CIS Controls (one or more)
  • Identity/access management, endpoint security, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management
  • Networking fundamentals: segmentation, firewalls, remote access, secure protocols
  • Strong ability to translate security needs into business-friendly decisions that support production continuity
  • Ability to analyze complex problems and develop effective solutions
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to convey technical concepts clearly
  • Experience in multicultural and cross-functional environments
  • Passion for continuous learning and innovation in security technologies
  • Ability to work effectively in a team and collaborate with various stakeholders
  • High self-motivation and the ability to work independently and proactively

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience securing OT environments (ICS/SCADA), including segmentation and secure remote support
  • Familiarity with industrial security standards and guidance (e.g., IEC 62443 concepts)
  • Experience with enterprise ecosystems such as SAP, manufacturing execution systems, and integrated plant applications
  • Certifications (one or more): CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor, GIAC, or equivalent
  • Experience collaborating with global security teams in a matrix organization

What To Look Forward To

  • Attractive Remuneration: The expected competitive compensation range for this position is $86,400- $128,520 CAD, which includes base pay and target amount of short term incentive plan.
