As a Security Problem Manager, you will be responsible for the systematic analysis and processing of security incidents with the aim of eliminating recurring disruptions in the long term. You will identify patterns, weaknesses and systemic risks, initiate root cause analyses and steer the implementation of sustainable measures in close cooperation with relevant units. In doing so, you will be guided by established ITIL methods as well as regulatory requirements of the banking environment (e.g. BAIT, MaRisk). The focus is on sustainable risk reduction through the structural processing of problems, not on the rapid restoration of operational capability (MTTR). The aim is to eliminate causes and prevent recurring incidents.

The sustainable pursuit of audit-relevant topics is also part of the field of responsibility.

You will work primarily with the Security Incident Management Team, the CyberHygiene Team and the 2nd LoD functions (risk management).

Root-Cause-Management

  • Leading root cause analyses (e.g. using 5-Why, Ishikawa,...)
  • Identification of technical, organizational and procedural causes as well as their risk assessment
  • Documentation of problem causes in a central register

Driving remediation and preventing measures

  • Definition and implementation of sustainable measures for risk reduction (no pure workarounds)
  • Control and follow-up of measures, including success monitoring (post-implementation review)
  • Development of KPIs/KRIs to reduce recurring problems

Governance & Reporting

  • Preparation of regular reports for CISO, IT steering committees and risk management
  • Preparation of decision templates and reporting on trend analyses and risk areas
  • Support in internal and external audits (audit, supervisory authorities)

Your profile

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in information security, computer science, computer engineering, or a related field
  • Several years of professional experience in the cyber security environment, ideally in a regulated industry such as banking or financial services

    • risk management as well as regulatory requirements (e.g. BAIT, MaRisk, DORA)
  • Experience working with SIEM/case management systems and analytically evaluating incident data
  • Familiarity with typical attack vectors (e.g., MITRE, ATT&CK)
  • Strong analytical and systemic thinking skills
  • Ability to communicate technical and complex issues in a clear and structured manner
  • High level of ownership, assertiveness and sustainability orientation
