- Administer Identity and Access Management (IAM), including user provisioning, de-provisioning and periodic access reviews.
- Manage cybersecurity tooling, including endpoint protection, vulnerability management, SIEM and phishing simulation platforms.
- Support ad-hoc infrastructure projects, including office build-outs and onboarding of new tools as the company expands across sites.
- Maintain clear documentation for network configurations, IAM processes, security policies and compliance workflows.
- Act as a senior escalation point for infrastructure, security and access related issues, in coordination with the IT Manager.

- Experience with, or willingness to work within, export control and defense compliance frameworks is a strong advantage (ISO 27001, ISO 9001).
- Relevant certifications (e.g. from CompTIA, ITIL, ISC2) are a plus.
- Comfortable working in a fast paced, changing environment, able to adapt quickly, reprioritise.
- Willingness to travel, predominantly within Germany.
