About the role:

We are looking for a Junior Information Security Specialist to support our Information Security Officer in managing key processes related to ICT risk management, regulatory compliance, and third-party risk oversight. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing fintech at the intersection of technology, regulation, and security — where your work has direct impact on how we protect our customers and scale securely. You'll work side-by-side with the Information Security Officer, gaining hands-on experience with regulatory frameworks like ISO 27001 and DORA, and learn how security and compliance really work in a high-growth, regulated environment.

This role offers real development potential: you'll get visibility across the business, engage with teams from Legal to Engineering, and help shape processes that matter. It's a rare chance to grow into a strategic second line of defence role in a company that values ownership, structure, and continuous learning. The person will contribute to the implementation and documentation of security controls aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 and DORA requirements, helping to ensure appropriate standards and processes are in place as the company scales. This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, organized, and motivated to develop into a second line of defense role focused on ICT risk and compliance.

Who we are looking for:

• 1–2 years of professional experience in Information Security, IT compliance, IT support, or data management roles.
• Practical experience working in a regulated private sector environment, ideally within the EU.
• Basic understanding of IT risk management principles and the three lines of defense model.
• Strong interest in developing into a second line of defense / ICT risk management role.
• Strong data handling and organizational skills.
• Excellent attention to detail, reliability, and a structured way of working.
• Good communication skills in English and German.
• Proactive mindset and willingness to learn.
• Solution-oriented attitude with a focus on practicality and clarity.

Nice-to-have:

• Prior exposure to compliance frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001 or SOC 2.
• Familiarity with regulatory requirements such as BAIT, DORA, or GDPR.
• Experience supporting internal reviews, audits, or regulatory reporting.
• Proficiency with tools such as Excel, OneTrust, Confluence, Jira, or GRC platforms.
• Experience working in or with fintechs, startups, or scaling companies.
• Basic understanding of data protection and privacy-related topics.
• Familiarity with risk registers, control libraries, or security documentation standards.
• Awareness of current security trends, threats, and risk mitigation practices.
• Ability to work independently while supporting team objectives.
• Strong interpersonal skills and comfort working across different teams (e.g. Legal & Compliance, Engineering).
