Summary Statement
The Ottobock Cybersecurity Team is comprised of experienced and dedicated cybersecurity professionals with the mission to sustainably protect Ottobock’s information assets and infrastructure worldwide – and to demonstrate that protection through verifiable results. The team is responsible for defining and implementing risk-based cybersecurity management across the Ottobock Group globally. It monitors the implementation of defined controls, conducts assessments to evaluate risks, and defines mitigation measures. Based on those insights, current threat developments, existing and new regulatory requirements, and emerging technologies, the team advises IT and business departments and drives initiatives and projects to enhance cybersecurity worldwide.
As a Senior Cyber Security Solutions Architect (f/m/d), you will take technical responsibility for the further development and implementation of Ottobock’s global cybersecurity architecture. You will actively design secure, future-proof IT security solutions based on the Microsoft Security Tech Stack, coordinate internal and external experts, and ensure cybersecurity is not only planned but also implemented—hands-on, scalable, and effective.
You want to do more than just consult? You’re not interested in endless strategy papers but want to dive deep into the technology, develop real solutions, and implement them yourself? Then join our dynamic, international Cybersecurity Team!
