Your role in the team
- You independently plan and conduct IT audits worldwide, bringing technical depth in IT infrastructure, IT governance, cybersecurity, and business processes—always with a risk-oriented approach and a focus on efficiency and security.
- Real-world system landscapes are the focus of your assessments: you don’t just evaluate SAP S/4HANA, AWS, Microsoft Entra ID, and DevSecOps pipelines—you understand them in depth.
- You assess internal control systems for compliance with Covestro policies and legal requirements such as NIS2—independently and with a risk-focused approach, not by following a one-size-fits-all formula.
- OT security in accordance with IEC 62443 and the interaction between IT and production are just as much part of your scope as evaluating external service providers and cloud providers.
- You prepare precise, audience-appropriate audit reports in English in compliance with IIA and DIIR standards, and persuasively discuss the findings with decision-makers up to executive level.
- With every automation of controls, your audit approach evolves: You increasingly audit the automation itself—including AI agents and algorithmic decisions.
- You use data analytics strategically and actively drive the further development of audit tools and methods—including AI-powered approaches.
Our expectations of you
Education
- A completed university degree in computer science, business informatics, IT security, or a comparable qualification provides the foundation for your expertise.
Qualifications
- You are familiar with frameworks such as ISO 27001, COBIT, BSI IT-Grundschutz, IEC 62443, or NIST; certifications such as CISA or CISSP are a plus—your approach to work and understanding of technology matter more than credentials.
- You understand the fundamentals of AI-powered and agent-based systems and are eager to develop a structured, in-depth approach to testing them—with curiosity and determination.
- You have data skills (e.g. SQL, Python) and take a broader view of technology topics and trends, as well as their impacts and risks.
- You combine analytical, structured thinking with an open attitude toward uncertainty and change—you prioritize based on risk and business relevance, not checklists.
- An entrepreneurial mindset, strong communication skills in German and English, and a passion for both independent and collaborative work round out your profile.
Experience
- You have 3–6 years of solid professional experience in IT security, IT audit, cloud platform management, SAP S/4HANA, DevSecOps, or a comparable technical role. Career changers from the tech industry are explicitly welcome.
- Practical experience in at least one of the following areas is essential: SAP S/4HANA (system configuration, authorization concepts, process controls), AWS (cloud architecture, IAM, security services), Microsoft Entra (identity and access management, conditional access), or DevSecOps (CI/CD pipelines, security integration, automation).
What we offer
- In addition to our wide range of benefits, a full-time position offers an attractive starting salary of between €89,400 and €108,500 per year, plus a variable component.
- Starting compensation is based on your qualifications and professional experience.
- This position is generally offered on a full-time basis. Would you prefer to work part-time? You’re welcome to apply in that case too—just let us know your preferred percentage.
