Founded in 2016, Einride became the first company in the world to deploy a cab-less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a US public road. Today our award-winning technology has been launched across 8 countries (and counting). Our clients are some of the world’s biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies. We are also operating Sweden’s largest truck dedicated public charging network and counting.

We are now expanding and looking for a Security Protective Manager (Säkerhetsskyddschef) that will help us plan, direct, and audit all security protection activities in accordance with the Swedish Security Protection Act (Säkerhetsskyddslagen 2018:585) and relevant authority regulations.

You will:

• Structure and execute our end-to-end security vetting process (Säkerhetsprövning) for new hires and consultants, including registry controls and deep-dive interviews.
