Head of Information Security (f/m/d)

Our client is a premium Merchant of Record (MoR) that processes software sales for companies all over the world. That makes Information Security less of a checkbox and more of a trust layer the whole business runs on. They're looking for someone to own that layer — and to turn security into an engineering-aligned capability, not a gatekeeper. A build-and-shape role, reporting straight to the VP IT & Infrastructure.

THE ROLE

You own the company's security posture end to end — strategy, standards, and the day-to-day reality of keeping a payments platform safe. You don't write policies that sit in a wiki; you embed security into how software actually gets built and operated: secure-by-design with Engineering, audit-readiness for PCI-DSS and SOC 2, and a risk landscape made visible through KPIs people act on. You lead a small team and act as the trusted voice on security — internally, and when it counts, in front of customers, partners, and auditors.
