HEAD OF INFORMATION SECURITY (F/M/D)

For our client, an internationally operating software and platform company headquartered in Cologne, we are looking for a Head of Information Security (f/m/d).

You report to the VP IT & Infrastructure, lead a small team and own the security posture end to end. The mandate is to turn Information Security into a forward-looking function that works hand in hand with Engineering: secure by design across the SDLC, audit readiness for PCI-DSS and SOC 2, and a risk picture made measurable through KPIs. The platform processes sensitive data at scale, so security here is part of the product rather than a back-office function. The person we have in mind is technically credible, pragmatic, and at home in software-driven organisations.
