About the position
As Information Security Manager at Abion, you will take ownership of our security architecture and practices during a key transition. While our current environment is primarily on-premise, our long-term direction is a cloud-first infrastructure model.
 

This role is not about maintaining existing controls, it is about evolving them. You will be responsible for ensuring that security is embedded into both current infrastructure and future cloud platforms. This includes shaping how we approach identity, access, network security, monitoring, and compliance in a hybrid and eventually cloud-centric environment.
 

You will work closely with engineering teams, leadership and external partners to ensure that security enables - rather than blocks - the organisation’s growth and transformation.

Your primary responsibilities

• Own and evolve Abion’s security architecture across on-premise and cloud environments
• Define and implement security standards for cloud platforms
• Embed security into cloud migration initiatives (security-by-design)
• Strengthen logging, monitoring and threat detection capabilities
• Define and enforce identity and access management principles (IAM, least privilege, zero trust)
• Lead risk assessments, remediation initiatives and security improvement projects
• Align security practices with compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, DORA)
• Support incident readiness and response capabilities
• Maintain documentation and improve security awareness across the organisation

About you
You are a senior security professional who has owned and improved security environments — not just operated them. You understand both traditional infrastructure security and modern cloud security models, and you can bridge that gap.
 

You are pragmatic and business-aware. You know how to balance risk, usability and cost — and you can guide teams through change without becoming a bottleneck.
 

You communicate clearly with both engineers and leadership, and you are comfortable taking ownership of complex security challenges in evolving environments.

Important for the position

• Senior-level experience in infrastructure and/or cloud security
• Strong understanding of network security, segmentation and threat prevention
• Experience securing cloud environments
• Experience with identity and access management (IAM) and zero-trust principles
• Experience with risk analysis, vulnerability management and security improvement initiatives
• Strong documentation and communication skills.
• Fluency in English and preferably Swedish.

Meritorious

• Experience with cloud security tooling
• Experience in hybrid environments and cloud transformation programmes
• Experience with DNS or hosting environments
• Expertise in Palo Alto firewall platforms
• Experience working in compliance-driven environments (ISO 27001)
