About the Role
As a member of the multinational security management team at IONOS SE, you will be working for one of Europe's largest hosters in the rapidly growing cloud sector, contributing your knowledge and experience to better protect our products and system landscape. You will be responsible for the design and operation of an integrated management system that includes certified areas from ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz and BSI C5, among others, and is constantly being expanded. The aim is to encourage and control the implementation and operation of security mechanisms, not only to demonstrate that our products meet the security requirements of the standards, but also to increase the benefits for our customers and the company. You will bridge ISO 27001, BSI C5, and IT-Grundschutz with emerging regulatory standards like NIS2 and KRITIS, ensuring our products maintain rock-solid compliance while enabling rapid innovation.

- Lead the operational planning, execution, and follow-up of internal and external security audits.
- Move the organization toward continuous compliance using real-time security dashboards and modern GRC tooling.
- Align our certification frameworks with evolving regulatory requirements, including NIS2 and KRITIS standards.
- Design, compile, and present security metrics and certification status reports to senior management.
