ICT Outsourcing Manager (f/m/x)

In this role you will:

• Act as the first line competence centre for ICT outsourcing and third-party governance topics, working across Technology, Compliance, Operations, business owners, and external partners to ensure risks and responsibilities are transparent and well managed.
• Own the operational execution of our ICT third-party and outsourcing governance framework across external providers, tied agents, and intra-group outsourcing arrangements, so that key relationships are assessed, documented, and monitored in line with regulatory expectations.
• Drive risk assessments, due diligence processes, and recurring reviews for new and existing third parties, coordinating relevant stakeholders and turning findings into clear actions, decisions, and follow-ups.
• Maintain and improve the outsourcing register, governance documentation, and supporting evidence base, creating the level of clarity and traceability needed for internal stakeholders, auditors, regulators, and partners.
• Prepare, structure, and run governance and review routines, including reporting, meeting preparation, escalation tracking, and action follow-up, to make third-party oversight more consistent, measurable, and decision-useful.
• Identify and advance process improvements, standardisation opportunities, and selective AI-supported automation in recurring third-party management workflows, helping the function become more scalable and effective over time.

You’ll be successful in this role if you:

• Bring hands-on experience in ICT outsourcing, third-party management, vendor risk, IT governance, compliance-related operations, or a similar function in a regulated environment.
• Have a solid understanding of how external providers and outsourcing relationships are governed, documented, and monitored from a risk and compliance perspective.
• Are comfortable working with risk assessments, service levels, control evidence, recurring reporting, and cross-functional governance routines.
• Have enough technical affinity to understand IT services, security-related topics, incidents, and operational dependencies without needing to be a security engineer.
• Work in a highly structured and reliable way, with strong follow-up discipline, good judgment, and the ability to keep multiple stakeholders aligned.
• Communicate confidently in German and English, and enjoy making complex governance topics clear, practical, and actionable.

How we take care of you:

• 🚀 Compensation package: We offer you a competitive salary, based on your experience and the value-add you bring to lemon.markets.
• 🕑 Flexible working hours: We trust people to choose when they work best and avoid a rigid 9 to 5 mindset. You decide on the rhythm that helps you do your best work, with only shared core hours from 12:00 to 16:00 to support collaboration.
• 🏢 Hybrid work setup: You can work from anywhere in Germany within a hybrid model. At the same time, in-person collaboration is a key part of our culture. That being said, individual contributor lemoneers work 4 days or more / leadership lemoneers work 7 days or more per month on-site in our Berlin office, spending quality time together with the team at events, onsites/offsites or over team dinners.
• 📈 Grow with us: We take your personal development seriously! You’ll get regular mentorship and stretch opportunities, a clear career development framework with frequent feedback conversations as well as an annual learning budget.
• 🌱 People & culture: You’ll feel our culture in the small things, like Polaroids from our lemoneers’ first day and our monthly new-joiner breakfasts. But also in the bigger things, like celebrating the onboarding of new partners or our annual offsites, where the whole company comes together to connect, reflect, and celebrate.
• 💛 Perks & benefits: We choose benefits that add actual value. We sponsor a Deutschlandticket for employees on unlimited contracts, plus 50% off on Beatvest - our partner for financial education and investing.
• 🏝 Workation: Get out of here! At lemon.markets you can work remotely from anywhere in the EU for up to 10 consecutive days at a time, and up to 60 days per year in total.
