Security Officer - Classified Information

ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.

Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the roadmap. Define and execute the plan that takes ICEYE Intelligence GmbH from today's baseline to fully cleared operations at the required national, NATO and EU levels. This covers admission to the Geheimschutzbetreuung (facility security clearance), personnel clearances, IT approval and the operational processes underneath.
• Be the appointed Geheimschutzbeauftragter. Act as the company's official security officer. Represent ICEYE with the respective authorities. Lead all interactions with these bodies with credibility and precision.
• Build the framework. Partner with Global Security to implement the hardened frameworks and systems.
• Run the clearance pipeline. Coordinate Sicherheitsüberprüfungen (SÜG) and Sicherheitserklärungen across the German organisation, plus NATO/EU personnel clearance certificates, in close coordination with Global Security so the business stays ahead of programme needs.
• Drive IT approval. Work with IT and Global Security to take classified systems through BSI-aligned approval (Zulassung) for the required classification levels.
• Enable the business. Translate security requirements into practical guidance: handling of VS, visit requests, travel, subcontractors and procurement. Run incident reporting and rehearsed crisis procedures.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Deep, hands-on knowledge of the German classified-information regime.
• Track record as Sicherheitsbevollmächtigter or directly equivalent in a relevant organisation.
• Working fluency in NATO and EU classification frameworks and how they map to national classification levels.
• Credibility with the relevant authorities and administrative bodies.
• Fluent German and English, with the ability to brief at executive, authority and working level.
• An existing valid security clearance is a strong plus.
