Introduction
 
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced security professional to join our team as Manager, IT Operations Security. 
In this role, you will play a key part in safeguarding the security posture of our CIO Office and IT Operations, ensuring that our services remain resilient, compliant, and aligned with Metso’s global security standards. You will work closely with internal teams, vendors, partners, and other stakeholders to enhance our overall security maturity.
 
Security is at the core of all our development activities, and in this position you will own and drive security best practices across CIO Office and IT Operations. We value hands‑on experience and a proactive mindset—someone who can translate security principles into practical  actions, and who can design, plan, and oversee comprehensive security across our operational environment.
 
This position is primarily located in Espoo or Tampere, with flexible working arrangements and hybrid work options available.
 
What you'll do
 
These include, but are not limited to:
 
  • Design, plan, and oversee the comprehensive security posture for the CIO Office and IT Operations. The CIO Office consists of IT Finance, SIAM, change management and communications; IT Operations includes IT infrastructure, regional IT, and end user engagement.
  • Ensure that CIO Office and IT Operations security practices follow Metso’s security directives and policies.
  • Provide technical expertise on security architecture, solutions, and controls for CIO Office and IT Operations teams.
  • Lead and support the continuous development of security processes and risk management practices.
  • Collaborate with CIO Office and IT Operations teams to enhance business continuity plans by integrating robust security practices.
  • Increase security awareness across the organization by supporting teams in knowledge‑building and training.
  • Evaluate and manage relationships with security vendors, ensuring alignment with organizational security goals and compliance requirements.
  • Drive security development and roadmap planning for CIO Office and IT Operations.
  • Act as the primary link between CIO Office / IT Operations and the Metso IT Security team.
  • Manage and maintain the security governance model for CIO Office and IT Operations, including reporting to the VP and CISO.

 

Who you are
 
Proven experience in information security across IT operations, covering end‑user services, cloud and infrastructure security, network security, and security risk management.
 
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence, guide, and motivate cross‑functional teams within CIO Office and IT Operations to adopt and implement security best practices.
  • 5–8 years of experience in diverse security roles in complex, distributed IT environments.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain security topics clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
  • Solid understanding of infrastructure and cloud security risks relevant to modern IT operations, and a proven ability to manage and mitigate them effectively.
  • Familiarity with ITIL and Agile ways of working (Scrum, Kanban) is considered an advantage.
  • Relevant security certifications (e.g., AZ‑500, SC‑100/200/300, CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+) are seen as a plus.

 

You are a motivated, responsible, and self‑directed professional who actively drives things forward. You are confident in voicing your ideas and opinions and take a proactive approach to problem‑solving. You can work effectively under pressure, manage multiple tasks, and maintain high quality in your work. You thrive in collaboration, communicate clearly, and enjoy working as part of a team. Full working proficiency in English—both spoken and written—is essential. Our team takes pride in delivering high‑quality work with strong business value, and we are looking for someone who shares that mindset.
 
What's In It For You
 
  • Wellbeing and safety - benefit from occupational healthcare, generous benefits plan, healthy living rewards, mental well-being services, on-site gym, meal benefits, car/bicycle benefits, and engagement surveys.
  • Annual bonus - global incentive programs tied to business and performance targets.
  • Hybrid working possibilities - while we are big advocates of meeting and collaborating in person, we believe in fostering a flexible work environment.
  • Extensive learning opportunities - ongoing growth dialogues, internal mobility, mentoring programs, education assistance, ambitious projects, and global opportunities.
  • Worldwide support - leverage our network of peers across the world, offering valuable assistance. We get things done together, through open and honest communication.
  • A thriving culture – we are committed to developing an inclusive culture that enables everyone to do their best and reach their full potential. A culture that is courageous, compelling, and caring, and unites our people to build a sustainable future together.
