What you do
Northwave consists of over 250 enthusiastic professionals in the areas of ethical hacking, behavioural psychology, security management, reverse engineering, audit, privacy, forensics, monitoring, and others. We apply our expertise to help our clients have a safe digital journey, by securing their business with them through managed services (security office, 24/7 SOC, cybersafe behaviour) and projects (advisory, security testing, resilience).
Each of our product managers is responsible for one or more of the propositions in our portfolio, ensuring they meet clients needs, are operationally deliverable and can be marketed by sales.
We are looking for a product manager to oversee the services delivered by our Managed Security & Privacy Office (MSPO). In collaboration with the product owners in the team, you will help raise the maturity of our Managed Security & Privacy Office Service. You will make sure that the development of this service is in line with our portfolio strategy, that the right client needs are met, that all stakeholders are involved and that development roadmaps exist for this service.
About the Security & Privacy Office:
A team of enthusiastic Information Security Officers, Privacy Officers, and CISOs working together to protect our clients against cyber attacks, ensure readiness for incidents, help them comply demonstrably with data privacy and security standards, laws and regulations, gain insight in their risk posture and take action to mitigate these risks.
The team
You’ll be part of the Cyber Fusion Centre. This team consists of product managers, threat intelligence analysts and researchers. From this team, we support the operational teams with threat intelligence, innovation, and product management. Because our product managers and threat intelligence analysts are so close to each other, we can build our products intel-driven and risk-based.
