ICT Risk & Security Specialist

About Marktlink Capital

Marktlink Capital is a Private Equity, Venture Capital and Private Income fund manager headquartered at CitySide Amsterdam. We give entrepreneurs and private investors access to leading funds across Europe and North America. Our team of more than 80 professionals manages over €3.5 billion in capital commitments from nearly 3,000 investors, invested across more than 250 PE and VC funds.

Our investors trust us with sensitive deal, fund and investor information. Until now, ICT risk and security have been a shared effort between our technology team, Compliance and a specialised IT service provider. As our ICT Risk & Security Specialist, you’ll give this work a dedicated owner. You’ll keep controls on track and help build a security approach that grows with Marktlink Capital.

This is no box-ticking exercise. Regulators and investors rightly expect us to show how we look after what they entrust to us, as we grow and the bar keeps risingy, you make sure we stay ahead of it. With the right team behind you.

What you’ll do

• Keep an overview of our SaaS vendors, review their security and audit reports, and follow up on risks or gaps with the relevant teams.

• Bring our ICT risk controls into one calendar and make sure the evidence is ready when investors, auditors or regulators ask for it.

• Work with colleagues to identify critical systems, assess risks and prepare the annual ICT risk update for the Board.

• Coordinate incident reporting, annual incident rehearsals and external resilience and continuity tests. Track findings until they’re resolved.

• Run access reviews and keep track of exceptions, joiners, movers and leavers.

• Answer investor security questionnaires and build a library of responses that makes the next one easier.

• Help colleagues classify and protect deal files, fund data and investor information, and review the security of new apps and AI tools before they’re introduced.

• Work with our IT architect and IT service provider on practical improvements, from secure access across our tools to safer defaults for file sharing, devices and admin rights.

• Make security understandable for colleagues through useful awareness activities and clear answers to their questions.

You join the Data, Technology & Reporting team: a small team that builds and runs Marktlink Capital's systems, data and AI tools. You're in the room from the moment something new is dreamt up, so security is never an afterthought. You share one agenda with our Compliance. They write and test the rules, you carry them out and provide the evidence. That way nobody marks their own homework. You also have a direct line to the Board member responsible for ICT risk. If you're worried, the Board hears it from you.

What you bring

• At least two years of experience in security, IT risk or IT audit, ideally in or around financial services and a relevant academic background.

• Familiarity with DORA and experience working with ISO 27001 or NIST.

• The ability to read a SOC 2 report, spot gaps and ask useful follow-up questions.

• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and its security settings, with an interest in getting hands-on.

• A practical, collaborative approach: you take ownership, communicate clearly and know when to involve others.

• Strong written English.

• A certification such as ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or CRISC is welcome, but not required.
