Cyber Risk Training Specialist (m/f/d)

About TecAlliance

We are TecAlliance — founded by more than 30 automotive aftermarket companies as a neutral Data‑as‑a‑Service market connector, serving as the neutral data terrain that interconnects them. With over 1,100 employees worldwide and customers in 140 countries, we enable the market — we never compete with it.

About the role

Join us in this full-time role, working 40 hours per week. You’ll be part of an English-speaking, fully EU remote team of Information Security professionals focused on protecting TecAlliance’s platforms and data. You report to our Director Information Security, Martin Ruf.

Attackers know it: the easiest way is rarely through the firewall — it’s through a person. But they also know the flip side: a person who knows what to look for is the earliest warning system they have to beat, and every single report can stop an attack. Humans are the one system you can’t patch, but you can train them and that´s the core of your job. Security is not just about systems; it’s about people too — and as our Cyber Risk Training Specialist (m/f/d), you cover both angles. You take people from unaware to confident in knowing exactly what to do: with training and phishing simulations that stick, a clear view of where our real risks are, and Business Continuity and crisis plans that hold when it matters.

Your goal: continuously reduce the number and impact of incidents involving human factors — turning our people into a human firewall that spots, stops and reports threats before they become incidents.

Make an impact with these tasks

• Deliver transparency of cyber risks on company level, stay up to date on threats and the risk landscape, and provide methodology and support for risk estimations of other teams (e.g. penetration testing).

• Deliver trainings and awareness measures across the organization, follow up on participation, and measure and improve the awareness level globally.

• Ensure creation, maintenance and tests of the Business Continuity and Crisis plans.

• Continuously reduce the number and impact of incidents involving human factors by driving projects such as the Company Risk Profile and Security-/Privacy-/Awareness-Trainings.

• Contribute to improving tools, workflows, and practices, decide on your own workload prioritization, and escalate blockers.

Bring your skills and ideas

Must-haves
