Full Job Description
The Keenfinity Group delivers professional communication and security solutions that connect and protect people and assets. Following its carve-out from the Bosch Group in mid-2025, it operates as independent company within the portfolio of European investment firm Triton. The Group’s four Businesses include Audio delivering professional communication products of the globally renowned brands Bosch, Electro-Voice, Dynacord, RTS and Telex, IQSIGHT Video Systems, Radionix Intrusion & Access, and KEENFINITY Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS). In fiscal year 2025, the group generated revenues of over €1 billion and employed approximately 4,000 people across more than 40 countries. Security at Keenfinity is not a compliance exercise. It is a business-critical function that directly affects the valuation and saleability of four Business Units. Every BU exit involves a buyer who will scrutinise Keenfinity's security posture in due diligence. Any significant finding — unpatched vulnerabilities, weak IAM controls, an ISMS that doesn't survive audit — will either reduce the sale price or delay the transaction. As CISO, the role owns that risk. The role is the security authority across the entire Keenfinity IT organisation, reporting directly to the Director IT STG (Director IT STG). The role sets the security strategy, oversee the SIEM/SOC (the SOC Lead), IAM (the IAM Lead) and ISMS (the ISMS Manager) functions, and hold sign-off authority at every divestiture phase gate for security readiness. The role is also the person who sits across the table from buyer security teams in due diligence and can defend Keenfinity's security programme with credibility. This is a senior, high-visibility role in a PE-backed environment with a defined exit horizon. The right person thrives under that constraint — they see the exits as the forcing function to prioritise ruthlessly and deliver what matters. Key Responsibilities Security strategy & governance * Define and own Keenfinity's IT
