Principal of Information Security (f/m/d)
Orbem, Munich
The role
You will own Orbem’s Information Security function end-to-end at a pivotal moment.
Orbem achieved ISO 27001 certification in December 2025. We are now entering an active stabilization phase: controls are established, our external provider stack is being restructured, and a re-audit sits on the horizon. You will inherit this reality — and the authority to shape it.
This is a role for a hands-on, senior security practitioner who wants to shape a security function, not just run one — someone who thrives in ambiguity, makes high-stakes strategic calls with incomplete information, and can do the operational work themselves while orchestrating a deliberate external provider stack. Although we are looking for a strategist, you will also be required to support day-to-day security operations.
What you need
Your experience and skills
- Scale-up security leadership experience. You have been the #1 or #2 information security compliance person at a company in the 150–600 FTE range.
