Manager ICT Third Party Risk

Manager ICT & Information Security Third Party Risk – 2nd Line of Defence  The Opportunity If your current role only lets you flag risk after the decision's already been made, this one is different. Here, you sit in the second line of defence with a genuine mandate to challenge.

You'll work across Information Security, IT, Procurement and Operational Risk, with direct visibility into risk committees and senior management reporting. The Role You'll independently review and challenge the first line's risk assessments for third-party providers, from critical suppliers to cloud vendors and outsourcing partners.

The Company Our client is a well-established, regulated financial services organisation with a mature second-line risk function. Its size and regulatory footprint mean third-party risk is treated as a genuine priority, not a box-ticking exercise, and the frameworks you'll work within are built to hold up under real regulatory scrutiny. What You'll Need Several years' experience in Information Security, ICT, Third Party or Cyber Risk Solid knowledge of TPRM processes and third-party security assessments Familiarity with ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2 and EBA requirements Knowledge of cloud security, IAM, vulnerability management, incident response and cyber resilience Confidence to independently challenge the first line and communicate risk to senior stakeholders Fluent German and English How to Apply Interested?

Associate Partner Cyber Security Sales

Associate Partner Cyber Security Sales The Opportunity If you're already winning Cyber Security business for someone else, when do you start building something that's genuinely yours? This role gives you ownership of a strategic sales pipeline within an established consulting business, with real autonomy to grow it your way. You'll be measured on revenue and account growth, and there's a genuine path to Partner level for the person who delivers. The Role You'll identify and win enterprise Cyber Security clients across Germany, running full sales cycles from first contact through to proposal, negotiation and close. You'll build direct relationships with CISOs, CIOs and CTOs, working as a trusted advisor rather than a vendor. You'll also take ownership of a set of existing strategic accounts, finding ways to expand the Cyber Security services they already buy. This isn't a delivery role. You won't be running projects yourself. Your job is to open doors, grow revenue, and help shape where the Cyber Security practice goes next, including feeding into go-to-market strategy and tracking regulatory and market developments that create new commercial opportunities. You'll work closely with colleagues across the wider consulting business, drawing on their relationships and expertise to open doors you couldn't reach alone. The Company You'll be joining an established consulting organisation whose Cyber Security practice is still being shaped, not one that's already fixed in place. That means real influence over how the practice grows, who it targets, and how it's positioned in the German market. It's a business with the scale and credibility to open enterprise doors, but with enough flexibility that a strong commercial lead can still make their mark and be recognised for it. What You'll Need Significant experience in Cyber Security consulting, professional services or technology advisory A demonstrable track record of Cyber Security sales and revenue generation Proven success winning new enterprise clients in Germany Experience growing and expanding existing strategic accounts An established network of senior decision-makers in the German market Comfort engaging credibly with CISO, CIO, CTO and executive-level stakeholders Fluent German and strong English How to Apply Interested?

Senior Manager Information Security

Senior Manager Information Security If your current cyber strategy work never gets past the slide deck stage, this one's different. You'll be the person clients call when the board wants to know what to actually do about cyber risk, not just what the risk is. The Opportunity You'll lead projects at the top decision-making level of major, household-name clients. That means building risk-based, business-led cyber strategies with executives, not just writing them up for someone else to present. You'll design target operating models, advise on regulatory pressure points like DORA, and run transformation programmes from target state through to operational rollout. The client work spans sectors: financial services, public sector, and industrial environments protecting connected production systems. You'll also help shape how the practice uses emerging tools like generative AI in live project work, so this isn't a role where the methodology stays static.

You'd be joining a team that's actively growing its footprint in strategy and transformation work, with the backing and reputation to get straight into the room with senior stakeholders rather than working your way up to it. What You'll Need 5+ years in cybersecurity management, with a focus on strategy, governance or transformation work for large enterprise clients Proven track record managing complex projects with senior, demanding stakeholders Solid knowledge of cybersecurity standards such as ISO 27001, IT-Grundschutz, NIST, ISF or DORA Fluent German and English, with strong communication and presentation skills at management and C-level Willingness to travel How To Apply Get in touch with the team at MAM Gruppe for a confidential conversation.

Senior Manager IAM

Senior Manager IAM If you're the one everyone calls when an IAM rollout goes sideways, but you're never the one who got to design it from scratch, this is worth a look. The Opportunity You'll own IAM and PAM projects end to end, from initial requirements through to go-live and ongoing operation. You're the subject matter expert in the room: governance, architecture, integration, and the customer's target vision all sit with you. This means working with international clients on real regulatory pressure, including MaRisk and BAIT/VAIT requirements, and being the central point of contact for governance, standards and compliance throughout. You'll also lead and coach the project teams around you, so this is as much about people as it is about systems. The Role Act as project manager across all phases, from initial requirements analysis through conception, implementation, go-live and operation Own governance, architecture and integration as the subject matter expert Adapt IAM tools to client requirements and act as central contact for governance, standards and regulations Help shape product and service development based on market needs Lead and coach project teams, fostering a collaborative way of working The Company This is a leading global consultancy with a well-established cybersecurity practice, advising international clients on identity and access management.
