Novartis is unable to offer relocation support for this role: please only apply if this location is accessible for you. About the Role: Mergers and acquisitions create some of the most complex and interesting challenges in Information Security. Every transaction presents a different challenge, information may be incomplete, timelines are often compressed, and security decisions need to support the pace and objectives of the deal.

Essential Requirements: • 8+ years of experience with strong understanding and knowledge of enterprise Information Security and Cybersecurity, with experience in compliance, governance and controls aspects. • Ability to assess risk across applications, infrastructure, cloud, identity, data, AI tools and third parties. • Strong analytical, investigative and critical-thinking skills, pragmatic proportionate and risk-based decision-making. • Ability to rapidly understand unfamiliar technologies, companies and business environments, and judgeme
