OT Security Lead | Operational Technology | ICS/SCADA & PLC Security | Build OT Security from Scratch Across Global Manufacturing
* Salary: Up to €140,000 + bonus + benefits
* Location: Seggovia, Spain - hybrid
* ( Please note: sponsorship is not available at this time. )
The Role
You’ll be the first dedicated OT Security hire, owning the OT cyber agenda end-to-end and creating the roadmap, governance, and controls that protect production environments across multiple global manufacturing sites. This role will begin as an individual contributor, but will develop into a full OT security function under your leadership.
You will
* Define and deliver the OT security roadmap and operating model across plants
* Establish OT security governance, policies, standards, and service levels
* Secure production networks, industrial hardware, PLC environments, and industrial applications (including non-IP networks/protocols)
* Improve secure data flows between manufacturing systems (system A → system B)
* Lead OT continuity, resilience, DR planning, and failover scenarios to reduce shutdown risk
* Act as the OT security authority for local coordinators and drive consistent site-level execution
* Run and manage physical security audits across 10+ manufacturing sites
What They’re Looking For (Non-Negotiables)
* OT security ownership experience in industrial environments (manufacturing, logistics, defense, etc.)
* PLC / industrial control systems understanding with real “on-the-plant-floor” exposure
* Non-IP network and industrial protocol awareness (and how that changes security controls)
* Ability to build from scratch: strategy, governance, and practical controls that won’t break production
* Experience operating in large, complex, multi-site organisations
What You’ll Work With
* OT security strategy and governance buildout (new function)
* PLC environments and industrial control systems
* Industrial hardware, production machinery, and site routing/topologies
* Vendor-heavy OT estates (e.G., Honeywell and others)
* Continuity planning, resilience design, and plant-level risk reduction
Nice to Haves
* Multi-plant rollout experience across different countries/regions
* Physical security audit experience in industrial sites
* Familiarity with OT security frameworks and practical implementation (without “IT-only” assumptions)
Why Join
This is a board-backed, high-impact hire where the outcomes are very visible and very real: production downtime is measured in millions per day at a key plant, and OT security is currently fragmented and informal. You’ll have the mandate to set direction, create structure, and materially reduce business risk, with the runway to build a dedicated OT security team over time.
