Your role in the team

- You implement Security and Compliance by Design and embed these sustainably (e.g., GDPR-compliant processing, audit trails, logging, recertifications) in close collaboration with Information Security.
- You manage external providers and internal stakeholders, take charge of SLA/KPI management, and drive continuous improvement of the services (stability, performance, user experience).
- You establish and operate ITSM-based processes (Incident, Problem, Change), including escalation management and sustainable root cause analysis.
- You are responsible for release management and further development in coordination with the specialist departments (backlog/prioritization) as well as the coordination of testing and approvals.
