Head of Information Security (m/f)

Security used to be something you proved once a year. Today, it's something you prove every single day.

At Alma Career, we're building security as a real operational capability - embedded into product development, engineering, governance, and decision-making across our organization.

Over the past year, we have invested significantly into building the foundation of our Information Security Management System (ISMS). We have created our ISMS Manual, established core governance structures, and started practical implementation together with pilot teams inside our product development organization.

Now we're looking for a Head of Information Security who can help turn that foundation into a living, scalable security operating model.

Our product development organization consists of approximately 200 people, including more than 100 engineers building products used by millions of people every month across 10 countries. Security and trust are core pillars in our company strategy - and we believe their importance will only grow in the AI-driven future ahead of us.

The role of marketplaces, recruitment platforms, and digital work-life ecosystems will continue to evolve rapidly in the years ahead. But one thing is clear: security, privacy, resilience, and trust will become even more critical differentiators for successful digital products.

This role sits right at the center of that transformation.

You will work closely with our product development organization because the outputs of engineering are the most visible - and most exposed - part of our security landscape. We are already piloting ISMS implementation with one of our most critical product teams, and we want to expand practical, engineering-focused security capabilities across the organization in a pragmatic and scalable way.

We are not looking for someone who builds security theater or paperwork for auditors.
