Remote (+/- 2hrs from Germany GMT+1). C1 or C2 German Language is essential

At Secfix, we’re at the forefront of automating security compliance in Europe. We help companies get and stay ISO 27001, GDPR, TISAX, and SOC 2 fast and easy and reduce hundreds of hours of manual work.

Secfix is run by a 100% remote team with hubs in Munich, Berlin and London. We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused owners to help us automate security and compliance for modern companies and become the European compliance automation leader.

We’ve just raised our $12M Series A and are backed by top VCs, including Alstin Capital, Neosfer (Commerzbank), and Bayern Capital.

About The Role

We're hiring a Senior Information Security Specialist to strengthen our compliance function as Secfix scales into more frameworks, mid-market customers, and a growing compliance team. This role sits at the intersection of compliance delivery, content, and team support. You'll own the compliance knowledge that lives inside our platform, mentor our junior compliance specialists, support our customer success team, and act as the senior compliance voice for customers, auditors, and product. You'll work closely with our co-founder & CISO and our CS Lead. This is a high-impact role with real influence on how Secfix delivers compliance: both as a service to customers and as content inside our app.

What You'll Do

• Own and drive the compliance roadmap inside the Secfix platform across different compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, TISAX, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS 2, DORA, ISO 27017/27018, ISO 42001, C5, and more as we expand)
• Implement ISO 27001 and adjacent frameworks end-to-end for customers
• Mentor and upskill the compliance team: sharing expertise, reviewing work, and helping drive consistency in audits and customer deliverables
• Conduct internal audits directly for strategic and complex customers, and review the internal audits performed by junior team members to drive quality and consistency
• Act as a compliance partner to CSMs and sales reps: fast, reliable support for customer questions, and joining customer calls when deep expertise is needed
• Own the quality of compliance content in the platform (including creating policies, evidence templates, compliance enablement playbooks for our CSMs, security awareness trainings and more)
• Close framework gaps and incorporate auditor feedback into both team practice and platform improvements
• Partner with product and engineering to translate compliance gaps into structured product work
• Collaborate closely with CS, Product, and Founders to align compliance, customer, and roadmap priorities
• Deepen relationships with our existing certification partners and train auditors on the Secfix platform so they can confidently use it during customer audits

To be qualified for this role

• German (C1/C2) and English (fluent) is a must for this role
• 5+ years of hands‑on information security and GRC experience in B2B SaaS
• Led 3+ successful ISO 27001 certification projects as an implementer and/or auditor at a startup or mid-market company
• Hands‑on experience with a GRC platform like Secfix, or similar GRC platforms
• Cloud infrastructure readiness across AWS, Azure, and GCP; experience with posture analysis and remediation planning
• Strong project management skills with the ability to break down ambiguous initiatives into concrete deliverables, prioritise ruthlessly, and ship
• Excellent written communication, especially in producing clear, precise compliance content for diverse audiences (auditors, founders, engineers)
• Strong ownership mindset: operates as a senior individual contributor without waiting for direction

Bonus

• Experience implementing one or two additional compliance frameworks (e.g. SOC 2, GDPR, NIS 2, etc.)
• Experience mentoring or coaching colleagues in a compliance, audit, or GRC context
• Experience in a startup environment is a plus

Please note: We are an equal-opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can support hiring only within EU time zones. We work in sync using Gather as our virtual office.
