## Job description

We are on the lookout for a Director of Security Operations.

In this role based out of our global headquarters in Berlin, you will lead our existing operations organization, composed of dedicated CSIRT and SOC teams, while strategically scaling capabilities where needed to safeguard our worldwide entities, platforms, and millions of daily customers.

As a Director, you will elevate our Security Operations capability to the next level, moving beyond baseline monitoring toward an intelligence-driven, proactive defense posture. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Google SecOps, you will drive modern threat detection engineering, streamline global incident handling workflows, and build resilient response frameworks tailored to the scale and operational complexity of the world’s leading local delivery platform.

You will lead, mentor, and optimize a team of security operations professionals, fostering an environment where technical rigor, continuous learning, and rapid response are paramount. By establishing strong partnerships with local CISOs and security leadership across our global entities, you will ensure unified monitoring baselines while maintaining fast, effective crisis response.

### Drive Security Operations Maturity

Define the multi-year strategic roadmap for threat detection, incident response, and threat intelligence to systematically reduce organizational risk at a global scale.

### Modernize Detection and Response

### High-Level Incident Governance

Act as the ultimate escalation point and incident commander for critical, major security incidents, providing clear leadership, stakeholder communication, and post-incident governance.

### Threat Intelligence Integration

Establish robust threat intelligence capabilities that translate global threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) into proactive detection engineering and strategic defenses.

### Global Entity Alignment

Partner closely with local CISOs and local security leads across all Delivery Hero entities to ensure consistent, scalable security monitoring and incident response standards across all global subsidiaries and platforms.

### Operational Metrics and Continuous Improvement

Drive data-informed operational reporting within existing resources, evaluating capabilities using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to demonstrate measurable risk reduction over time.

## Qualifications

### Proven Operations Leadership

A track record of leading Security Operations Centers (SOC) and Incident Response (CSIRT) functions within large-scale, complex enterprise or tech environments.

### Deep Incident Response and Threat Hunting Expertise

Extensive experience managing complex, critical security incidents and architecting proactive threat hunting programs.

### Modern SIEM and SecOps Proficiency

H ands-on familiarity with modern cloud-native SIEM and SecOps platforms (experience with Google SecOps / Chronicle is a strong plus), including telemetry ingestion, detection-as-code, and automated response playbooks (SOAR).

### Global Stakeholder Management

Excellent communication and crisis management skills, with the ability to translate complex technical incidents into actionable risk insights for executive leadership, regional CISOs, and legal partners.

### Team Development and Mentorship

Demonstrated success mentoring analysts, optimizing operational workflows, and managing global follow-the-sun or escalation models efficiently.

### Metrics-Driven Execution

Experience establishing and driving key security operations metrics (such as MTTD, MTTR, detection coverage against MITRE ATT&CK) to measure performance and continuously mature capability.

### Strategic Vision and Execution

Ability to balance immediate operational fire-fighting with long-term strategic improvements to build a resilient, future-proof operations center.

### Nice to haves

Large-Scale Platform Experience: Background operating within complex global platforms, food/logistics delivery networks, or multi-tenant cloud ecosystems.
