E.ON Drive Infrastructure GmbH
Information Security & Compliance Manager (m/f/d)
Job description
Your mission
Run IT security and compliance as one program across all markets, with milestones per country
Track the cybersecurity regulation in each market and keep authority registrations current
Give every country managing director a clear, regular view of where they stand
Maintain the risk register and report to management quarterly
Assess our critical suppliers together with procurement and assess the security terms in their contracts
Own incident reporting as the escalation contact for our managed SOC
Own the security policies and test that key controls work
Organize security training for management and awareness for all employees
Provide the security evidence for tenders and audits
Scope and steer external specialists for penetration tests and technical work
Act as IT contact for business continuity and crisis management
This is a senior individual contributor role within our central IT team, offering significant ownership and accountability without direct people management responsibilities.
You will collaborate closely with Legal, Data Protection, Procurement, Product Owners, and business leaders across our country organizations. Security Operations, Workplace IT, and Data Protection are managed by dedicated specialist teams and partners.
Your profile
Five to eight years in information security governance, risk and compliance, ideally in a group with several legal entities or countries
Your career started in IT operations, infrastructure, security operations or IT audit, so you know how systems fail and how controls are bypassed in practice
You have assessed suppliers beyond the questionnaire: worked through SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence, followed up exceptions and judged whether a vendor's answer holds up
You can decide within hours, with incomplete information, whether an incident is reportable and to whom
You have run a compliance program end to end: plan, milestones, status reporting and closure, with senior stakeholders who were not security experts
You build trust with managing directors. You explain what an obligation means for them, what it costs and what you need, in a few minutes and without jargon
Hands-on experience implementing NIS2, KRITIS or comparable cybersecurity regulation, ideally across several countries
ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, or BSI IT-Grundschutz Practitioner. CISM or CISA is welcome
Fluent English. German is a strong advantage for working with the BSI
Based in Germany, ideally within reach of Essen, with occasional travel to our markets
A plus: experience in energy, OT or IoT environments, or with business continuity

The freedom you need: We offer you hybrid working with flexible working hours
Workation: Enjoy the flexibility to work temporarily from abroad – within the EU

A company pension scheme is of course also one of the benefits with us
