Cybersecurity Advocacy: Represent Heimdall Power in customer and regulator discussions regarding cybersecurity and compliance.

U.S. Standards Integration: Map global certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, IEC 62443) to U.S. regulatory frameworks (NERC CIP, NIST CSF, FERC) and ensure that U.S. regulatory requirements are integrated into our global security program.

• Business Development: Contribute to RFPs/tenders, audits, and customer security questionnaires.
• Domestic Execution of Global Standards: Lead the local implementation of global security policies and controls.
• Champion Adherence: Support audits, risk assessments, and awareness activities.

Customer and Internal Support: Be the go-to security contact for U.S. customers, helping utilities trust and adopt Heimdall Power's solutions.

• A strong grounding in cybersecurity principles, ideally with experience in OT/IoT or critical infrastructure
• Experience in the power grid or energy sector (strongly preferred)
• Familiarity with NERC CIP and U.S. energy-sector regulations
• Communication skills, and a proven ability to build trust with customers and colleagues
• A track record of thriving in a fast-paced, scale-up environment where you shaped processes as much as you followed them

• An ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed 
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. (sponsorships are not available)

Reporting Line

You will report locally to a Charlotte-based manager and functionally to the Head of Information Security in Oslo, Norway.
