Information Security Specialist

We are the independent expert in assurance and risk management. Driven by our purpose, to safeguard life, property, and the environment, we empower our customers and their stakeholders with facts and reliable insights so that critical decisions can be made with confidence.

As a trusted voice for many of the world’s most successful organizations, we use our knowledge to advance safety and performance, set industry benchmarks, and inspire and invent solutions to tackle global transformations.

About the role

As an Information Security Specialist in DNV Energy Systems, you will become part of a dedicated and collaborative team striving for operational excellence and continuous improvement in information security. The role reports directly to the Head of Section Information Security and supports the implementation of robust security practices across our business globally. Our team operates with a strong sense of trust, shared responsibility, and mutual support. We expect each team member to apply their expertise while remaining flexible and ready to support colleagues when circumstances require it. This collaborative approach helps us maintain continuity, resilience, and focus in a dynamic environment.

In this role, you will contribute to strengthening both the information security maturity and culture within DNV Energy Systems by working closely with internal stakeholders, colleagues across other DNV Business Areas, and, when relevant, external partners. Your objective is not only to identify risks and report on compliance but to actively contribute to resolving issues - by either offering direct support or by facilitating connections to ensure effective and timely outcomes. A customer-oriented mindset and strong interpersonal skills are therefore essential.

Your work will span advisory and operational tasks, including security reviews, audits, performance monitoring, and project delivery. You will also present results and insights to both leadership and peers. Most of the work will be conducted virtually, with regular in-person attendance at your local office expected. Flexibility is required to collaborate across time zones, with some international travel required, although limited in line with DNV’s sustainability commitments.

The successful candidate will be inventive, comfortable working in a quick-turnaround, deadline-driven environment, and adept at managing multiple projects and assignments simultaneously.

Responsibilities of the Information Security Specialist will include:

• Supporting the implementation of global and regional systems and improvement plans and contributing ideas to improve information security performance.
• Providing competent and professional information security advice on operational risks to all levels.
• Developing the information security capabilities of the organisation, improving risk awareness and providing specialist support to line management.
• Information security performance monitoring and reporting, including supporting external audits and undertaking audits as part of our internal audit programme.

What we offer

Work Life Balance
We offer flexible working arrangements and a supportive culture that values work-life balance. DNV fosters an inclusive, respectful, and collaborative environment. Employees are encouraged to join professional and social networks that promote engagement across functions and geographies.

Career and Development
We believe in lifelong learning and provide extensive opportunities for professional development. You will be encouraged to broaden your competence and grow in line with both personal ambitions and the evolving needs of the team.

At DNV, you will be part of a purpose-driven organization committed to safeguarding life, property, and the environment. Our values - We Care, We Share, We Dare - guide how we work with one another and with our customers.

By joining DNV you become part of a world-leading company whose purpose is to safeguard life, property, and the environment. You will also be part of a culture where our values “we care, we share, we dare” characterize how we act towards each other, and our customers and perform our work.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a professional with a T-shaped competence profile - someone who combines deep technical expertise with a broad understanding of organizational and operational contexts. A background in software development or systems engineering is highly valued. Beyond competence, we expect all team members to embrace a mindset of lifelong learning, with a willingness to adapt, contribute, and grow continuously in alignment with team and business priorities.

Requirements:

• Master’s degree in a relevant discipline.
• Recognized professional information security certification (e.g., CISSP, CISM).
• Minimum 4–5 years of experience in an information security role within a complex, operational business environment.
• Proven ability to contribute to and manage projects across multiple stakeholders and business units.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex issues to diverse audiences, including senior leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently while building trust-based relationships across departments and regions.
• ISO 9001 or ISO 27001 auditor qualification is an advantage.

If you are motivated to contribute to the secure operation of a global organization, value collaboration, and are committed to both personal and collective growth, we encourage you to apply.

We consider this as a global role, and our new team member can work from anywhere; however, this person should be based in a region with a DNV office, as our Global DNV model is hybrid (3 days a week in the office).
