SITUATION MANAGER (M/F/D)

Do you have a passion for fighting fires and a talent for preventing them in the first place? Can you combine deep technical expertise with outstanding communication skills to lead a team through a crisis? If you are someone who remains calm, thinks clearly, and makes qualified decisions when the pressure is on, then you might be the Situation Managerwe are looking for!

WHAT WE OFFER YOU

This is a role with real, immediate impact where you will be at the forefront of our most critical operations. We offer a unique and dynamic dual role that combines the thrill of high-stakes incident management with the deep satisfaction of proactive engineering, and we will invest in your professional growth to ensure you master both. You will be a vital part of protecting our business and customers, with the full support of a collaborative team and the autonomy to make a difference.

Furthermore, we offer you:

• Continuous Growth: We provide dedicated opportunities for certifications, training (e.g., in advanced security, observability, or incident command), and attendance at conferences.
• A Collaborative Environment: You will join a supportive team and a dedicated "Community of Practice" with fellow Situation Managers to share knowledge, refine strategies, and perfect the art of incident response.
