In this role, you will help strengthen Nokia's security posture by driving governance, accountability, and measurable risk reduction across IT infrastructure, applications, development pipelines, and cloud environments. You will work closely with the Digital Office, IT Operations, Business Segments, application and DevOps teams, and external partners. You'll turn threat intelligence and technical findings into clear priorities, decisions and remediation actions, and report progress and risk to leadership.

How You Will Contribute And What You Will Learn

- Vulnerability Management Governance: Oversee the end-to-end vulnerability management lifecycle (identification, threat-informed prioritization, remediation, exception handling and verification). Make sure remediation timelines match real exploitation risk, such as KEV, active exploitation and internet exposure.
- Patch Management Governance: Oversee patching cadence and compliance across infrastructure, endpoints and applications. This covers regular patch cycles, accelerated and emergency patching, maintenance window alignment, and tracking patch coverage and gaps.
- Application Security Testing Governance: Oversee web application scanning (WAS), SAST and DAST coverage and compliance across Nokia applications. Make sure findings are triaged, prioritized, and remediated on time, and that testing is built into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines.

- Remediation Oversight and Escalation: Drive accountability with asset owners, IT Operations and suppliers. Follow up on overdue or high-risk findings, challenge weak remediation plans or compensating controls, and escalate when needed.
- CI/CD and Software Supply Chain Security: Define and monitor governance for build pipelines, developer tooling and third-party components. This includes open-source dependencies, IDE and AI-assistant plugins and extensions, secrets in pipelines, and supplier or package integrity.
- Metrics and Reporting: Define and maintain KPIs and risk indicators for vulnerability, patch and supply chain posture.

Produce clear, decision-oriented reporting for stakeholders and leadership, covering trends, risks, blockers and required decisions.

- Compliance Monitoring:



Run regular assessments to check compliance with Nokia security policies, regulatory requirements and industry standards. Identify gaps and track corrective actions to closure.
- Continuous Improvement: Improve processes, standards and automation across vulnerability, patch and supply chain governance, with a focus on simplification, standardization and operational efficiency.
- Cloud Security (supporting): Contribute to oversight of cloud security posture, mainly misconfigurations and exposure, as part of the overall risk view.
- Access Governance (supporting): Contribute to oversight of privileged and service accounts, least privilege and PAM onboarding where they relate to vulnerability, pipeline or cloud risk.
