About the role

  • You will take a key role in technical customer support for our vulnerability management solutions as part of our Presales Consulting team.
  • You act as a technical point of contact on equal footing — with deep IT security expertise combined with the ability to understand complex customer requirements, facilitate discussions, and channel insights into product development.
  • You build long-term technical relationships with security stakeholders in large enterprises and federal agencies, understand their challenges, and translate them into concrete recommendations — both for customers and internally for our product teams.
  • Support the sales process with technical expertise and thorough feasibility analyses.
  • Technical lead for selected strategic customers (enterprise/federal agencies).
  • Advise and support customers in building, operating, and advancing their vulnerability management programs.
  • Conduct technical deep dives, workshops, and health checks to continuously improve the deployment of Greenbone solutions.
  • Closely coordinate with the Product Department to evolve our vulnerability management solutions based on customer feedback.
  • Analyze complex infrastructures and support architecture decisions and scaling strategies.
  • Establish a reliable trust relationship as a technical sparring partner for CISOs, SOC leads, and IT security managers.
  • Represent the company at international conferences, including as a speaker on technical topics.

Requirements

  • Several years of proven experience in technical IT security consulting — ideally with a focus on vulnerability management.
  • Deep knowledge of current security technologies and common IT architectures (network, infrastructure, cloud).
  • Experience with security-related processes in large organizations or government agencies.
  • Ability to communicate technical matters clearly and persuasively at all levels — from administrators to executive management.
  • Experience with automation, API usage, and integrating security solutions into complex environments (e.g., using Python, Bash, PowerShell).
  • Strong customer orientation, excellent interpersonal skills, and a passion for advisory work.
  • Business-fluent German and very good English, both spoken and written (both languages are required).
  • Willingness to travel domestically (~20–30%) and internationally when needed.
Benefits
  • Opportunity to shape and grow within a scaling cybersecurity company.
  • Flexible working hours and a 100% remote option.
  • A motivated and diverse team with an open company culture.
  • Flat hierarchies, direct communication, and genuine appreciation.
  • 30 days of vacation and an attractive retirement savings plan.
  • Company bike (bike leasing), fitness offers, and company health management.
  • Comprehensive ergonomic work equipment — also provided for the home office.
