OT Cybersecurity Architect
- Application Deadline: Nov. 30, 2026
- Multiple locations
- On-site
As the OT Cybersecurity Architect, you will lead the development of cybersecurity across Fazer's production operations. Your work will protect safety, production availability and business continuity at our sites in the Nordics and Baltics.
You will join Group ICT and work closely with the Chief Information Security Officer to shape and grow Fazer's cybersecurity capabilities. This role gives you real ownership and visibility. You will own the Group OT cybersecurity programme and set its direction, priorities and roadmap in line with our information security strategy and business needs. You will build a common framework, requirements and ways of working, and help our production sites reach and sustain the agreed OT cybersecurity maturity levels.
One of your key deliverables will be the OT cybersecurity of our new factory in Lahti. Lahti will set the baseline for OT security at Fazer. You will lead the security work through commissioning and into daily operations, and then use the same framework to develop OT security at our existing production sites.
As OT Cybersecurity Architect, you will:
• Develop OT security requirements, standards and governance, and clarify responsibilities between Factory Operations and Group ICT
• Coordinate site-specific improvement plans, support local implementation, and report progress and gaps
• Coordinate OT risk assessments and give management clear recommendations on risk treatment
• Define security requirements for OT architecture, production investments and suppliers, and review significant designs and changes
• Develop monitoring, incident response and recovery requirements, and bring your own expertise to investigation and recovery during incidents
• Set requirements for OT asset and lifecycle management, patching, backups and recovery
• Support OT cybersecurity audits and build internal capability and awareness across sites
Your key counterparts are production and site management, automation and maintenance teams, OT Service Managers, and colleagues in Group ICT and Infrastructure. You will also work with OEMs, integrators and technology suppliers. In this permanent position, you will report to the Chief Information Security Officer.
The position is located in Vantaa or Lahti, Finland, where we work mainly onsite. The role also includes regular travel to Fazer production sites in the Nordics and Baltic countries.

Skills & Requirements
You lead through influence. You set direction and build commitment across production, automation and ICT without formal authority. You balance cybersecurity with production availability, safety and business needs, and you can explain complex cyber risks to senior leadership in clear business terms. You are strategic, pragmatic and self-driven, and you're comfortable building capability where practices are still developing.
In addition, we expect you to have:
• At least 10 years of combined experience in cybersecurity and production OT or industrial control environments, with relevant experience in both areas
• A proven track record of establishing and leading cybersecurity programmes, governance and operating models in complex organisations

• Deep understanding of OT security architecture and controls, with the technical credibility to challenge designs and guide specialists
• Relevant security certifications are considered an asset
Fluency in written and spoken English is required. Finnish is strongly preferred, and Swedish is considered a plus. Your professionalism is based on relevant higher education or equivalent professional experience.
