Information Security Officer

Who you are

• 3 to 5 years in information security, GRC, or compliance operations, with direct experience supporting a complete ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audit cycle
• Current or recent experience in a small, close-knit security or compliance function, not a large corporate GRC team where your scope was narrowly defined
• Working knowledge of identity, endpoint, and M365-style device management, strong enough to set requirements and judge whether IT operations meets them
• Comfort owning a risk register, a policy set, and vendor security assessments end-to-end
• Fluent German proficiency and eligibility to obtain a German security clearance or equivalent
• Bonus: Direct exposure to TISAX or the automotive OEM security ecosystem
• Bonus: Scripting or automation skills and the instinct to remove repetitive work
• Bonus: Vanta or similar compliance platform experience

What the job involves

• You'll own SPREAD's information security and compliance program, from ISO 27001, SOC 2, and TISAX audit cycles through to the risk register, policies, and vendor assessments that back them
• You set the security requirements across the company and check that day-to-day operations meet them. You work closely with the GTM team on customer security questionnaires and with leadership on ISMS reporting each cycle, and you'll grow the scope of what you own as the program matures
• Own audit cycles end-to-end for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and TISAX, expanding scope as certifications mature
• Answer security questionnaires for customers and OEMs alongside the GTM team, turning fast and accurate answers into a real edge in deals
• Present ISMS status, risk posture, and audit results to leadership every cycle
• Maintain and evolve risk registers, security policies, and vendor security assessments as the company grows
• Run security awareness training and phishing simulations across the organization
• Set the security requirements for identity, device, and endpoint management, and audit that IT operations meet them
• Build and maintain the evidence base behind every control, closing gaps before an auditor finds them
• Automate repetitive compliance and evidence-collection work with platforms like Vanta
