Would you like to contribute to a society where cybercriminals don’t stand a chance and where everyone knows how to work safely with information?

Can you work independently and do you like an environment that is always changing? Then the position of program manager at AWAREWAYS might really be something for you!

AWAREWAYS is a young, international company within the security and privacy world. Due to rapid growth, we are looking for a new program manager to join us in our quest to improve information security for all of our clients.

Our team of program managers consists of young professionals with different backgrounds, including communication, psychology, marketing and filmmaking.

That’s great, but… what would my day look like?

Start off your day

Around 9 o’clock you arrive at the office. You grab a cup of coffee and briefly chat with some colleagues. Then you prepare for a meeting with a new client. It’s an international company that wants to start using phishing simulations and the Hacker Duel, and that needs to apply to all their employees around the world. You promise to create a plan of action that you will discuss at the next meeting. You call a colleague to briefly spar about this.

Next up is a customised text for another client for our e-learning platform. You can use your creativity to make information security topics as interesting and relevant as possible for this specific organization. The client is a hospital, so the employees work with sensitive information on a daily basis. You have to come up with cases that the healthcare staff will recognize and in which security or privacy issues are dealt with. You have to dive right in here, but you like the fact that you can improve information safety in healthcare in this way.

Lunch

Lunch time = time to log off and catch up. Every day, a colleague makes a fresh salad. Is the sun out? Then we can have our break on the roof terrace!

Middag

After lunch you have a communication presentation with the designer. In the previous weeks you sat together regularly to come up with two cool concepts for a client, a well-known Dutch media company.

Then you have a number of to do’s and it is already five o’clock. You pack up your things and drive through the pleasant neighborhoods of Utrecht on your way home or back to the train station.

Working at AWAREWAYS is a lot of fun, but it’s certainly also challenging. We are an innovative, self-managing organization that makes a strong, social contribution in the world of security and privacy.

We consider the following capabilities important in a program manager:

• HBO (higher professional education) or academic work/thinking level;
• Good command of the Dutch and English language orally and in writing;
• Ability to work independently;
• Creative and solution oriented;
• Stress resistant;
• Quick to switch gears;
• Organizational.

• Market-based salary based on work experience;
• Regular work drinks;
• Weekly boot camp;
• Lots of room for personal growth;
• Freedom and variety in your daily work.

Does this strike you as an interesting role? That’s great! Please email your covering letter, portfolio and resume to talent@awareways.com with the subject line ‘Program Manager’, and we will get in touch. Over a (digital) cup of coffee, we can get acquainted and see whether there’s a click.

AWAREWAYS approaches security and privacy awareness from psychology, marketing and communication, with the aim of achieving behavioural and cultural change. We help our clients to develop an overarching strategy, so that employees become the strongest link in the organisation’s security chain.

We value diversity at AWAREWAYS, and we continue to strive to be an organisation where everyone feels at home. We are therefore looking for people with a range of backgrounds and experiences to strengthen our team.
