Job description
Information Security Officer
Location:
Amsterdam - Netherlands
Type:
Fulltime
Intelic builds mission-critical autonomy software for unmanned systems in the defense domain. We handle classified information, operate under export control constraints, and deliver to customers where security is non-negotiable. Security is not a support function, it is foundational to everything we build.
Responsibilities
We are looking for an experienced Information Security Officer to own and lead our security function. You will establish and operate our ISMS, drive ISO 27001 certification, ensure ABRO compliance, and embed security across our people, processes, and technology.
You report directly to the CTO, are part of the leadership team, and have the mandate and budget authority to define and enforce security standards across the organization.
In practice, this means:
• ISMS & Governance — Design and operate a formal ISMS, risk register, and security reporting structure
• ISO 27001 & ABRO — Lead certification and ensure ongoing compliance with applicable defense regulations
• Security Architecture — Define requirements for infrastructure, endpoints, access control, and monitoring
• Product Security — Own secure SDLC governance, vulnerability management, and CI/CD security requirements
• Incident Response — Establish detection, response, and resilience processes
• Security Awareness — Build a security-conscious culture through training and organization-wide engagement
What You Will Bring
This includes:
• Proven expertise in the cyber threat landscape and secure system design.
• The ability to translate standards (ISO, EU, defense requirements) into real operational security.
• The drive to raise our security bar as we grow from startup to scale-up. Leveraging automation and AI where it strengthens our defenses.
What Success Looks Like in Your First Year
A fully operational ISMS. ISO 27001 certified. Security embedded in leadership decisions, engineering practices, and daily operations. The organization knows its threat model and acts accordingly.
Security is no longer implicit. It is structured, visible, and enforceable.
Why Join Intelic
• You will own and lead our security function. As the company scales beyond 100 employees and project complexity increases, this role is expected to evolve into Head of Security.
• You are not a compliance administrator.
• You are building the foundation on which compliance, resilience, and operational credibility depend.
What we offer
At Intelic, you will be part of an ambitious scale-up where ownership, technical excellence, and impact matter. You will have the autonomy and responsibility to build a security foundation that scales with both innovation and regulation.
Benefits & Perks
• 25 vacation days per year, based on full-time employment
• Bike plan
• Sports membership
• Travel reimbursement
• Pension plan
