We collaborate with experienced senior experts and deliver strategic value-creating expertise to some of Sweden's most complex and analytically demanding projects. Our focus is always on high quality, professionalism and clear, measurable results.
We are now seeking a Project Manager, Information Security for one of our clients.
About the assignment:
ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for establishing, implementing,
maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The
standard provides a systematic approach to managing information security risks, ensuring
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets in line with business objectives,
regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations.
We are initiating an ISO/IEC 27001 implementation to strengthen its
information security governance, ensure compliance with applicable regulatory and customer
requirements, and establish a robust, auditable ISMS across the organization.
The assignment is to lead and drive the ISO/IEC 27001 implementation as a dedicated Project
Manager. The role is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing the end-to-end
implementation, from initial gap analysis through readiness for certification audit.
Key responsibilities include:
• Establishing and managing the ISO/IEC 27001 project plan, milestones, and deliverables
• Coordinating internal stakeholders across IT, R&D, Legal, HR, and Management
• Leading gap analysis against ISO/IEC 27001 requirements and Annex A controls
• Supporting risk assessment, risk treatment planning, and documentation of controls
• Driving development and implementation of ISMS policies, processes, and procedures
• Managing dependencies with ongoing security, compliance, and IT initiatives
• Preparing the organization for internal audits, management review, and external
certification audit
• Reporting progress, risks, and decisions to steering group and senior management
The assignment starts as soon as possible and requires strong experience in ISO/IEC 27001
implementations, structured project management capabilities, and the ability to work
independently in a complex, multi-stakeholder international environment.
Qualifications and skills required for the role
• Proven experience as Project Manager leading ISO/IEC 27001 implementations,
preferably from gap analysis through certification readiness
• Solid understanding of information security management systems (ISMS), ISO/IEC 27001
requirements, and Annex A controls
• Experience coordinating risk assessments, risk treatment plans, and control
implementation
• Strong project management skills with ability to manage scope, timelines, dependencies,
and stakeholders
• Experience working in complex, multi-stakeholder organizations, preferably within
automotive, R&D, or regulated industries
• Ability to drive documentation of policies, procedures, and governance frameworks
• Experience supporting internal audits, management reviews, and external certification
audits
• Familiarity with related regulations and standards (e.g. GDPR, NIS2, ISO 22301) is
considered a strong advantage
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal; experience in
international environments is essential
• Relevant certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer, PMP, PRINCE2, or
equivalent are highly desirable.
Personal attributes
• Strong execution mindset with the ability to move from planning to delivery without losing
momentum
• Ability to handle ambiguity in early project phases and bring structure as the ISMS matures
• High level of resilience and perseverance to drive progress across busy stakeholder groups
• Confidence to challenge existing ways of working when required by ISO/IEC 27001 compliance
• Ability to balance audit requirements with pragmatic, business-oriented solutions
• Strong sense of ownership for outcomes, not just activities and deliverables
• Capability to prioritize effectively when multiple compliance, security, and IT initiatives compete
for attention
• Cultural awareness and sensitivity when working across countries, functions, and leadership
levels.
