Working student Security Office (m/w/d)

Your chance to join Northwave, one of Europe's leading security service providers.

Your start at Northwave

For more than 18 years, we have specialized in protecting companies from cyber attacks. With our integrated services, which combine people, processes and technology, we are one of the leading providers in Europe.

We are looking for motivated working students who would like to start their career in the security industry. As part of the Security and Privacy Office, you deal with the 'business' security part of companies. This includes compliance with laws, guidelines, and standards, information security management, and data protection issues.
In the Security and Privacy Office, you handle daily security incidents and questions from our customers. This means that you receive incoming inquiries and problems, analyze them, process them independently or in a team depending on their type and complexity, or forward them internally to the responsible contact person. You will work closely with our security consultants and learn hands-on how information security is implemented and managed.

We are looking for students to support us in incident handling one or two days a week during normal office hours. Of course, we ensure that your working days and availability are compatible with your studies. The division of shifts always takes place in mutual exchange. We would also be happy to help you find a topic for your thesis. In our Cyber Fusion Center, we combine our extensive industry knowledge, our research into the latest threats and technologies, and our experience from working with our customers.

What you can expect from us

Contract

You will be given an employment contract with flexible working hours. Therefore, your working hours will always be coordinated in consultation with you and taking your semester schedule into account. We also offer you an attractive hourly wage (15,96 Euro/h).

Equipment

Our office is equipped with Apple devices, height-adjustable desks, and a fridge that is always stocked with cold drinks. Oh yes, and there's regular Northwave merch, as well as cakes and Dutch caramel waffles.

Team

At Northwave, you will be part of an international team of 275+ security enthusiasts who are happy to share their knowledge and look forward to support, e.g. at the company run or the pub quiz. In Germany, we are still in the process of being established - so this is your chance to help shape the future.

Perspectives

You can already gain work experience during your studies. In the DACH region, we are currently still under construction - literally. We are currently building a new headquarters. We will be happy to support you with your thesis and discuss your entry and career opportunities at Northwave.

The most important thing for us is that you fit into the team and are keen to help shape and advance Northwave. Of course, we also have a few technical requirements for this position.

Education

Are you studying security management, IT management or something similar? Ideally, you already have experience and, above all, an interest in processes and topics such as data protection, information security, and/or management systems.

Knowledge and experience

You have already gained initial experience, e.g. as part of an internship or previous training. Of course, you should be familiar with common Office applications. You also have an independent and structured way of working.

Other strengths

You are still studying for at least two semesters and have the time and desire to work one to two full days a week in our office in Leipzig. You are fluent in German and advanced in English. And most importantly: you are interested in cyber security and a professional and modern corporate environment.

Interested?

I look forward to receiving your application.
