Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

Our goal: to create impact – ecological, societal, and entrepreneurial.

The Viessmann Way supports how we work, lead, and create value together - whether as a team member, entrepreneur or partner in our ecosystem. It is not a rulebook, but a compass: a living set of principles shaped by over a century of entrepreneurship and guided by our long-term purpose.

The Opportunity

You will take ownership of the strategic development of cybersecurity across Viessmann Generations Group and its portfolio. Acting as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, you will translate complex cyber risks into clear business priorities and drive a pragmatic, business-oriented approach to security and resilience.

Key Challenges & Responsibilities

• Define and drive the Group-wide cybersecurity strategy, governance model, and clear ownership across the organization and portfolio
• Oversee cybersecurity risk, security architecture and operations, regulatory requirements, and strategic security initiatives
• Lead the response to major cyber incidents and strengthen business continuity and organizational resilience
• Advise senior leadership on cyber risks, priorities, and investment decisions and build strong alignment across business and technology
• Develop security capabilities, culture, and collaboration while strengthening third-party and supply-chain security

What You Bring

• 10–15 years of relevant cybersecurity or information security experience, including significant leadership responsibility
• Strong track record across cybersecurity strategy, governance, enterprise risk, security operations, and resilience
• Experience in complex corporate or larger mid-sized environments; manufacturing and shopfloor exposure are particularly relevant
• Strong executive stakeholder management combined with strategic thinking and a pragmatic, hands-on leadership style
• Relevant academic background; certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001, or GIAC are an advantage

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to shape cybersecurity as a strategic capability within a family enterprise that thinks and acts across generations. You will work closely with senior leadership, create impact across a diverse portfolio, and help build the structures and resilience required to protect and enable Viessmann Generations Group for the long term.
