ABOUT THE TEAM

The Security team is Trustly's first line of defence. We do the hands-on security work - running risk assessments, reviewing vendors, maintaining policies and procedures, driving business continuity and disaster recovery, and making sure security is embedded in how Trustly builds and operates its products. We work closely with engineering, legal, finance, risk & compliance, HR and senior leadership, and partner with the second line for governance and oversight.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced Information Security Officer to join the Information Security team, reporting to the Director of Security in Stockholm. The role sits in the first line of defence, meaning you will be directly responsible for executing and operating security activities - not just governing or overseeing them.

You will work across the full breadth of the role — owning and driving security governance, risk management, third-party oversight, business continuity, compliance and awareness. You will be expected to work independently, influence decisions across teams, and improve how we operate. At the more senior end, you will help shape security strategy and act as stand-in for the Director of Security when needed.
