Information Security Officer

Information Security Officer Business Enablement — Nikon Europe B.V., Amstelveen Purpose Nikon Europe is strengthening its regional security posture and rolling out a unified governance framework across all European group companies. As part of this effort, we are building a new Information Security function consisting of three specialists working from our Amstelveen headquarters. We are seeking an Information Security Officer to serve as the regional expert on data security management, regulatory compliance, and privacy within the security domain. You will play a crucial role in supporting the implementation of NIS2 , GDPR, AI Act requirements, and Nikon’s global governance standards. With guidance from Japanese HQ and support from an external consulting company, you will translate framework and policy into consistent, practical implementation across multiple entities. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in structured environments, values accuracy and compliance, and enjoys implementing policies and controls rather than designing from scratch. Role & Department Summary You will be part of a small, newly formed Information Security team reporting to our Head of Information Security, Europe , with a dotted line to the Information Security Headquarters in Japan . The team works closely with Nikon group companies across Europe to introduce and operationalize security and privacy controls in line with global strategy. Japanese business culture strongly influences this environment: safety, structure, consistency, and control are key values. Creativity is welcomed, but always within defined frameworks and HQ boundaries. We prefer candidates from FMCG, production, manufacturing, logistics, or consumer electronics , as these backgrounds align well with our operational and implementation-focused needs — not profiles from banking or insurance.
