Cyber Risk Quantification Specialist (Junior / Trainee)

About the Role

We are looking for a motivated Cyber Security Quantification Specialist to join our Quantification Services team as part of a structured development path toward becoming a full Cyber Risk Quantification Specialist.

No prior experience in cyber risk is required — we’re looking for strong analytical thinking, curiosity about cyber security, and a genuine interest in the financial/quantitative side of risk management. The attitude you bring is more important than the experience that you have. You’ll be trained on industry-standard methodologies, including the FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) model, and will work alongside experienced quantification specialists to build real-world modelling skills.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to build a specialised, in-demand skill set at the intersection of cyber security, data, and finance.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the team in gathering and organising data used for cyber risk quantification (asset values, threat data, control information).
• Learn and begin applying quantitative risk methodologies (primarily FAIR) under the guidance of senior team members.
• Assist in building and maintaining basic loss models and risk scenarios.
• Help prepare reports, charts, and summaries that translate risk findings into clear, understandable formats.
• Participate in structured training, certification study, and on-the-job coaching toward FAIR proficiency.
• Coordinate with security, IT, and business teams to collect information needed for risk assessments.
• Maintain documentation, model inputs, and data quality for ongoing risk analyses.
• Progressively take on more complex quantification tasks as skills develop.

Required Qualifications

• Strong interest in cyber security, risk management, and/or data analysis — no professional experience required.
• Comfortable working with numbers, spreadsheets, and basic statistical concepts (we will teach the rest).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
• Good written and verbal communication skills — able to explain ideas clearly. Fluency in Danish and English is a requirement.
• Bachelor’s degree (or in final year of studies) in a relevant field such as Cyber Security, Finance, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, or a related discipline — or equivalent demonstrated interest/aptitude.
• Willingness to learn new frameworks, tools, and methodologies, and to pursue certification (e.g., Open FAIR) as part of the role.

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Basic familiarity with Excel or data tools.
• Exposure to cyber security concepts through coursework, projects, self-study, or certifications.
• Basic scripting knowledge (Python, SQL) — not required, but a plus.
• Any prior internship, project, or coursework touching on risk, security, or data analysis.

What We Offer

• Structured training and mentorship toward becoming a Cyber Risk Quantification Specialist.
• Support and sponsorship for relevant certifications (e.g., Open FAIR).
• Hybrid working model (2-3 days per week at office in central Copenhagen)
• Clear career progression path within the Cyber Security / Risk function.
• A supportive work environment, focused on well being and excellence.
