- Company: SPREAD GmbH
- Location: Berlin
- Employment type: Permanent employment (unbefristeter arbeitsvertrag)
- Posted: 2026-10-23
Short Description
SPREAD builds engineering intelligence for the world's most complex products. Our AI-native platform gives automotive OEMs, defense primes, and industrial manufacturers a single source of product truth so engineering teams can make confident product decisions, fast. We work with companies like Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, Bosch, and Rheinmetall. Backed by HV Capital, DTCP, La Famiglia, and Salesforce.
You'll own SPREAD's information security and compliance program, from ISO 27001, SOC 2, and TISAX audit cycles through to the risk register, policies, and vendor assessments that back them. You set the security requirements across the company and check that day-to-day operations meet them. You work closely with the GTM team on customer security questionnaires and with leadership on ISMS reporting each cycle, and you'll grow the scope of what you own as the program matures.
Your Mission
- Own audit cycles end-to-end for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and TISAX, expanding scope as certifications mature.
- Answer security questionnaires for customers and OEMs alongside the GTM team, turning fast and accurate answers into a real edge in deals.
- Present ISMS status, risk posture, and audit results to leadership every cycle.
- Maintain and evolve risk registers, security policies, and vendor security assessments as the company grows.
- Run security awareness training and phishing simulations across the organization.
- Set the security requirements for identity, device, and endpoint management, and audit that IT operations meet them.
- Build and maintain the evidence base behind every control, closing gaps before an auditor finds them.
- Automate repetitive compliance and evidence-collection work with platforms like Vanta.
Your Experience
- 3 to 5 years in information security, GRC, or compliance operations, with direct experience supporting a complete ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audit cycle.
- Current or recent experience in a small, close-knit security or compliance function, not a large corporate GRC team where your scope was narrowly defined.
- Working knowledge of identity, endpoint, and M365-style device management, strong enough to set requirements and judge whether IT operations meets them.
- Comfort owning a risk register, a policy set, and vendor security assessments end-to-end.
- Fluent German, and willingness/eligibility to undergo a German Ü2 security clearance (SÜG).
- Bonus: Direct exposure to TISAX or the automotive OEM security ecosystem.
- Bonus: Scripting or automation skills and the instinct to remove repetitive work.
- Bonus: Vanta or similar compliance platform experience.
Why SPREAD?
- You're joining a security program that's already protecting deals with some of the biggest names in automotive, with a clear path to owning it fully.
- High ownership and measurable impact. You connect your work directly to the success of the organization.
- A senior team that values craft, speed, and accountability over process and hierarchy.
- Strong overall package including attractive compensation, VSO and an annual learning budget.
- Mobility and wellbeing support through a Deutschlandticket mobility budget, bike-leasing and an Urban Sports partnership.
- Time off and flexibility with 30 vacation days, and one paid volunteering day per year.
