Cybersecurity Project Manager (m/w/d)

As Cybersecurity Project Manager (m/w/d) based in Germany , you will lead the delivery of projects that help protect organisations and the people who depend on them across Europe. You will bring together NVISO specialists in security operations, automation, Detection Engineering, Cybersecurity Architecture and incident response to turn customer ambitions into delivered security solutions.

You will manage implementation, integration and improvement projects from kick-off through acceptance and handover to the teams responsible for ongoing operations. You will keep scope, timelines and dependencies aligned, and make sure customers and colleagues know what has been agreed, what comes next and where a decision is needed.

You will work closely with Business Development, senior management and technical experts, organising their contributions and following commitments through. Your cybersecurity knowledge will help you ask informed questions and connect technical dependencies to delivery decisions. Experts retain technical ownership; you bring the people, plans and decisions together to deliver the project.

Typical responsibilities include:

• Managing implementation projects from kick-off to acceptance, with clear scope, milestones, dependencies and responsibilities across NVISO teams and customer stakeholders;
• Securing commitments from capability leads and organising timely support and decisions from Business Development, senior management and technical experts;
• Leading customer meetings and delivery reporting, aligning expectations and communicating progress, risks and next steps in language suited to each audience;
• Managing risks, issues and scope changes, agreeing achievable plans and escalating decisions with clear options and their impact on delivery;
• Tracking effort, budget consumption and forecast-to-complete, and reporting deviations and proposed actions to the senior manager, who retains P&L ownership;
• Coordinating expert validation, customer acceptance and operational handover, then closing the project with follow-up actions assigned and lessons captured.

What we are looking for

• You hold citizenship in one of the 32 NATO member states or the Austrian citizenship;
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent professional experience;
• Experience managing multi-team cybersecurity or IT implementation projects, covering planning, dependencies, risks, scope changes and delivery reporting;
• Sound understanding of security operations, detection and response, automation and cybersecurity architecture, sufficient to discuss dependencies with experts and explain their delivery implications;
• Experience tracking effort, budgets and forecasts, and coordinating contributors and decisions across several teams without direct line-management authority;
• Experience in consulting or customer-facing delivery is an advantage; a project management qualification such as PMP or PRINCE2 is welcome;
• Fluent business English and professional fluency in German (at least C1-level).
