Risk Manager
Join atNorth as a Risk Manager and lead the development of our enterprise risk framework, ensuring secure, compliant, and resilient operations across the Nordics.
Join atNorth, the leading Nordic data center company powering sustainable high-performance computing — and play a key role in shaping our risk and resilience framework across the region.
We are now looking for a Risk Manager to strengthen atNorth’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program and ensure our operations remain secure, compliant, and resilient as we continue to grow. In this pivotal role, you’ll lead risk identification, assessment, and mitigation across operational, cybersecurity, environmental, and regulatory areas — embedding risk awareness into everything we do.
You’ll work cross-functionally with teams across the Nordics to align atNorth’s risk and compliance posture with international standards such as NIS2, ISO 27001, and ISO 31000. This is a hands-on, strategic role for someone who thrives on structure, collaboration, and continuous improvement. This is a permanent position, based at one of our offices in Sweden, Finland, or Iceland.
What You’ll Do
Lead Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
Develop, implement, and maintain a company-wide ERM policy and strategy.
Maintain the risk register, assign ownership, track mitigations, and ensure timely updates.
Facilitate risk workshops, training sessions, and leadership reviews.
Align atNorth’s ERM framework with recognized standards (ISO 31000, ISO 27001, COSO).
Drive NIS2 Compliance
Support implementation of NIS2 requirements, ensuring governance, supply chain security, and accountability alignment.
Conduct supplier and third-party risk assessments with Procurement and other teams.
Support contract compliance reviews and coordinate awareness and training initiatives.
Ensure consistency between ERM, NIS2, and other standards (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22301, SOC2).
Governance & Reporting
Prepare and deliver risk and compliance reports to leadership and key stakeholders.
Maintain documentation on mitigation actions and compliance evidence.
Provide actionable insights and recommendations for improved resilience.
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
Partner with teams across functions to embed proactive risk management in day-to-day operations.
Support atNorth’s OKRs by contributing to business resilience and ongoing improvement initiatives.
About You
5+ years of experience in risk management, security governance, or compliance — ideally within data centers, technology, or critical infrastructure.
Strong understanding of ISO 31000, ISO 27001, and regulatory frameworks like NIS2.
Proven track record managing risk registers, assessments, and mitigation planning.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Analytical mindset — able to turn technical risks into clear business insights.
Degree in Business, Risk Management, Security, or a related field.
Professional certification (e.g. ISO 31000, CISSP, CISM) is an advantage.
Fluency in English, a Nordic language fluency is seen as a big merit.
At atNorth, we believe that sustainable success starts with the wellbeing of our people. Our commitment to building an open, transparent, and inclusive culture is not just a priority—it is a core part of how we lead, grow, and deliver excellence.
Through regular one-to-one engagements and monthly wellbeing surveys, we listen carefully to our teams, ensuring that every voice is heard and every opportunity for improvement is embraced. We recognize that innovation and collaboration thrive where people feel truly connected, which is why we come together each week to share ideas, strengthen relationships, and nurture a sense of belonging—sometimes over a simple breakfast and good conversation.
At atNorth, we are building more than infrastructure. We are building a community where people can do their best work and shape the future together.
