About the Role

Security Incident Manager
Location: Frankfurt am Main - Hybrid

A role that inspires you

You will play a pivotal role in safeguarding critical ICT systems for a leading international organisation. In this strategic position, you will lead responses to major cyber incidents, strengthen incident management processes, and help shape the overall security posture of the organisation.

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of technology, risk, and strategy — protecting vital operations while collaborating with experts across security, IT, and risk functions.

What you’ll be doing

You will:
• Lead and coordinate end-to-end responses to major security incidents, including detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned.
• Serve as the central escalation point for incidents, ensuring clear communication between technical teams, management, and external stakeholders.
• Perform in-depth technical analysis of security events using SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, and threat intelligence tools.
• Support forensic investigations, root cause analyses, and vulnerability assessments.
• Develop and refine incident response playbooks, processes, and KPIs in line with ICT risk governance.
• Conduct post-incident reviews and share best practices to enhance security awareness across the organisation.
• Collaborate closely with risk management, compliance, and IT infrastructure teams to improve resilience and reduce risk exposure.

Your work will directly influence how the organisation detects, responds to, and recovers from cyber threats, ensuring business continuity and trust.

What you bring

You are an experienced cyber security professional who thrives in high-stakes environments:
• Degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field — or equivalent professional experience.
• Several years of hands-on experience in cyber security operations, incident response, or SOC/CSIRT functions.
• Strong technical knowledge of networks, operating systems, malware analysis, and modern attack techniques (e.g., APTs, ransomware).
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, BAIT, or DORA is advantageous.
• Exceptional problem-solving and decision-making skills under pressure.
• Excellent communication skills in English; German proficiency highly valued.
• Ability to operate effectively within a complex, international enterprise environment.

What’s on offer

• A strategic role at the heart of a leading international organisation.
• Competitive compensation with performance-based bonuses and attractive benefits.
• Hybrid working model offering flexibility and work-life balance.
• A culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous professional development.
• Opportunities to work with cutting-edge security technologies and industry-leading experts.
