- You develop an effective training and practice program, derive improvements, and consistently follow up on actions, thereby strengthening the organization's awareness and empowerment.
- You assist in the crisis management team, support situation assessment, documentation, and follow-up, thereby contributing to the organization's ability to act in the event of an incident.
- You ensure governance, traceability, and compliance, report to BU management, and systematically embed regulatory requirements (e.g., reporting and communication processes as well as resilience requirements) into workflows and processes.
- You actively participate in the company's global security organization and serve as a liaison to external agencies (e.g., organizations involved in population and disaster protection).
