Information Security Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Manager

For many years, Kongsberg Maritime has successfully delivered products to the maritime segment around the world. Going forward, further growth is expected by offering a broader portfolio of products, solutions, and services.

Kongsberg Maritime is strengthening its Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) team and is looking for two Information Security GRC Managers to further develop our global security governance.The two roles are intended to complement each other. Together, you will help mature how we manage cyber- and information security across the organization – recognizing that no single candidate is expected to cover all areas.

You will play a key role in strengthening our structured, risk-based and compliant approach to protecting information, working closely with stakeholders across IT, the business and our dedicated security team.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys working across teams, bringing clarity to complex topics and turning requirements into practical improvements that create real value for the organization.

What you will be doing

  • Drive and develop cyber- and information security governance across Kongsberg Maritime
  • Contribute to the establishment and improvement of our Information Security Management System (ISMS)
  • Support risk management activities and follow-up of identified risks
  • Define, measure and report on cyber and information security controls
  • Contribute to strategy and governance within identity and access management and AI
  • Develop and maintain policies, processes and documentation
  • Act as a trusted advisor to process owners and support integration of security into business processes and technology services
  • Collaborate with IT, security teams and global stakeholders



We think you should have

  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree within a relevant field (technical, administrative or similar). Relevant experience may compensate for formal education
  • Experience within information security
  • Experience with Information Security Management Systems (e.g. ISO 27001)
  • Knowledge of quality standards, methods and tools
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English


It is also an advantage if you have experience with areas such as identity and access management, business intelligence tools (e.g. Power BI), Microsoft Purview, AI governance, or leading cross-functional initiatives. That said, you are not expected to cover all of these areas.
At Kongsberg Maritime, we believe diversity fuels innovation. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every requirement – your perspective, skills and attitude could be exactly what we are looking for.

This employment will require a pre-employment check procedure in accordance with company security standards, role or site requirements. In addition, a security clearance by the Norwegian National Security Authority will be required. The successful candidate may start to work with limited access whilst the clearance is being processed. Please note that this might affect the offer process or employment.


You are able to

  • Work in a structured and goal-oriented way
  • Translate requirements into practical actions, documentation and measurable progress
  • Collaborate effectively across functions and cultures
  • Build relationships through active engagement and visibility
  • Take a proactive, risk-based and solution-oriented approach
  • Drive progress and achieve results through others


Why join us

  • Work with cyber and information security in a global technology company shaping the future of maritime operations
  • Be part of a collaborative and diverse team across multiple countries
  • Influence and strengthen security practices across the organization
  • Opportunities for professional and personal development, including training and mentorship
  • Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
