Your Tasks

Would you like to continue your management career in a modern digital company where information security plays a central role? Are you ready to further optimize our security level for over 35 million customers and go the extra mile every day? Do you enjoy working with people and are you able to initiate far-reaching structural improvements and bring them to a successful conclusion? Then we are looking for you as Head of Security Governance & Assurance. 

• You will be responsible for the technical and disciplinary management of a team which, as the “second line of defense”, is responsible for the strategic aspects of information security at Mail & Media, including the development and continuous improvement of an integrated ISMS and BCMS.
• You plan and coordinate the implementation of your team's security-related projects, such as security and risk assessments, audits, supply chain assessments or awareness measures. You  ensure close coordination and acceptance with your stakeholders outside your team and provide hands-on support where necessary.
• You coordinate with relevant internal and external stakeholders and create targeted reports on the results of your team's work.
• You continuously adapt your team's portfolio to the needs of the organization as well as current security standards and best practices. You also optimize internal team workflows.

We Appreciate

Are you able to build up a company-wide, resilient network in a short time? Can you communicate at eye level from junior engineer to board member? Have you completed a technical degree or comparable training?  Do you exemplify high quality standards and have experience of how information security can become a business enabler in an agile environment? Then we look forward to receiving your application. 

• You already have several years of management experience (at least technical, preferably also disciplinary) and have a proven track record of building a strong reliable team that can gain the trust of stakeholders from across the organization.  
• You are well versed with the current relevant legislation (e.g. NIS-2, GDPR, ...), security standards (ISO 27000, NIST,...) and best practices (OWASP, ISACA...). Your strong theoretical technical background as well as your high affinity for business topics enables you to use this knowledge profitably in an agile digital organization.
• You are a constant learner who is interested in various topics relating to information security, technology and business, as well as leadership and personal growth. You live this mindset authentically and pass it on within and outside your team. 
• You are a team player who leads by example at all times, has a bias for action and excellent assertiveness, and is able to act constructively and create a positive environment even in difficult situations. Your understanding of your counterpart and your commitment help you to gain the necessary trust in the organization. 
• Your ability to communicate orally and in writing in all situations and at all levels (in German and English, both at C1 level) and to deal constructively with conflicts of interest and objectives complements your profile.
