  • Vulnerability management (risk-based prioritization, remediation coordination, validation)
  • Endpoint, identity, and email security concepts in modern organizations
• Practical experience working with and improving enterprise security tooling—ideally within the Microsoft security ecosystem.
• Strong communication skills: you can clearly explain risk and response actions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A structured, pragmatic mindset: you prioritize impact, build repeatable processes, and create clarity during incidents.

Experience

• Microsoft E5 security suite components (e.g., Defender capabilities, identity protection patterns, policy hardening, alert tuning)

  Cloud and SaaS security fundamentals (access control, misconfiguration risk, audit logging)
• Developing and maintaining security runbooks, playbooks, and operational documentation

Nice to have

• Written and spoken German language skills
• Experience in regulated environments (FinTech, banking, credit, or highly sensitive personal data contexts)
• Familiarity with ISO 27001 and DORA-oriented controls in practice (e.g., translating policy requirements into technical operations)
• Relevant certifications: Microsoft Security (e.g., SC-200 / SC-300), GIAC (e.g., GCIH / GCFA / GNFA), CompTIA Security+, CISSP (or equivalents)
