Nordic Corporate Security Manager

As Nordic Security Manager, you hold full accountability for the Corporate Security function across the Nordic region, with a clear mandate to lead, shape, and continuously strengthen the overall security framework. You are expected to define and drive the regional security strategy, ensuring it is not only aligned with global standards but also effectively translated into concrete actions, measurable outcomes, and consistent execution across all Nordic markets.

In this role, you are not only responsible for setting direction—you are expected to ensure delivery, follow-through, and tangible impact. You will proactively identify risks, challenge existing ways of working, and implement robust frameworks that enhance resilience, protect critical assets, and support the business in achieving its strategic objectives.

You will operate in a highly cross-functional environment, working closely with senior stakeholders across Legal, HR, Technology, Information Security, and Compliance. As a trusted partner, you are expected to influence decision-making at a senior level, provide clear and actionable insights, and ensure that security is embedded into business processes rather than treated as a standalone function. In parallel, you will collaborate with international peers and Group functions to drive consistency, share best practices, and contribute to the continuous evolution of the global security agenda.

Success in this role requires the ability to balance strategic leadership with hands-on involvement, taking ownership in critical situations while maintaining a long-term, proactive perspective on risk and security development.

• Lead crisis management processes, coordination, exercises, and continuous improvement, ensuring the organisation can respond with structure, speed, and discipline

• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership across the Nordics, translating complex security risks into clear, pragmatic, and business-oriented recommendations

• Collaborate with Group and regional security leaders to share best practices, drive consistency, and contribute to the evolution of Verisure’s broader security agenda

• Contribute to enterprise risk management, organisational resilience, and the safe development of the business across the Nordic region
