In both divisions, you will:
work within a team under the guidance of a mentor;
establish and maintain relationships within and outside your team to expand your knowledge and skills;
participate in horizontal team activities;
contribute to tasks by bringing your ideas and taking initiative.
The position offers you excellent opportunities to apply state-of-the-art concepts and methods to protect information assets and gain experience across a range of information security topics. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.

You are curious and eager to learn, and want to further develop your ability to analyse complex information. You are keen to collaborate with others, pursue team goals and learn from other people’s diverse perspectives. You strive to know and anticipate stakeholder needs, and will signal any need for change and propose alternative solutions.
