Barcelona, Barcelona, España Headhunting Firm A tiempo completo

Our executive search firm is partnering with a
leading international pharmaceutical company headquartered in Barcelona
to appoint an
Information Security Associate Director
to further strengthen its global cybersecurity capabilities within a complex, industrial and highly regulated environment.

Role Overview

The Information Security Associate Director will provide a global, integrated and mature view of cybersecurity across the organisation, bridging IT security and industrial OT security. The role acts as a senior internal reference, supporting informed, risk based decision making and contributing to the secure enablement of digital and industrial transformation.

This is a senior, transversal position with strong exposure to executive stakeholders, focused on influence, coordination and prioritisation rather than traditional line management.

Key Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the design and deployment of cybersecurity plans with a primary focus on IT, while maintaining an integrated view with industrial and OT security.
  • Lead complex, cross functional cybersecurity initiatives, ensuring effective governance, prioritisation and delivery.
  • Provide a holistic view of cybersecurity risk, connecting technology, processes, people and business impact.
  • Act as a key interface with senior stakeholders across IT, Industrial, Legal, Compliance and external cybersecurity partners.
  • Support the definition of cybersecurity priorities, budgets and the security roadmap.
  • Provide strategic leadership for the OT Security programme across manufacturing sites.
  • Oversee external Technical Assurance services, including prioritisation, audits, reporting and stakeholder management within IT.
  • Partner closely with IT Infrastructure and Operations, with hands on understanding of IT Infrastructure (AD, Networking, Cloud infrastructure) and Security components (EDR, AV, FW, etc).
  • Advise on Security Operations and incident response, supporting the SOC and internal service owner.
  • Design and deliver cybersecurity awareness initiatives, training sessions and executive briefings.

Requirements

The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong combination of cybersecurity expertise, strategic judgement and senior stakeholder management capability.

Key requirements include:

  • 10+ years of professional experience in the cybersecurity domain, with exposure to senior or leadership level responsibilities.
  • Strong global understanding of enterprise IT environments and IT security.
  • Solid foundational knowledge of OT security and industrial environments, with an understanding of IT and OT interdependencies.
  • Experience contributing to the design or deployment of cybersecurity or information security programmes.
  • Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate effectively in matrixed organisational structures.
  • Hands on exposure to security systems and security operations, with the ability to clearly translate technical risks into business relevant insights.
  • University degree in a relevant discipline.

Experience in regulated or industrial environments, international contexts or OT security initiatives will be considered an advantage.

Why This Opportunity

  • Senior, high visibility role within a global pharmaceutical organisation.
  • Direct exposure to executive stakeholders and strategic decision making.
  • Opportunity to shape cybersecurity across both IT and industrial environments.
  • Transversal role focused on influence and impact rather than traditional line management.

If this opportunity aligns with your experience and career aspirations, we encourage you to apply.
