As a Cyber Resilience Manager, you will play a critical role in strengthening our customers’ ability to withstand and recover from cyber incidents. You will work within our international Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) and act as a trusted advisor for German-speaking clients, guiding them through Cyber Crisis Exercises and resilience-building activities.
This position combines technical expertise with strong communication and facilitation skills. You will help organizations prepare for worst-case scenarios, improve their incident response capabilities, and ensure business continuity during cyber crises.
Plan and deliver Cyber Crisis Exercises for German-speaking customers, simulating real-world attack scenarios.
Advise clients on cyber resilience strategies, including incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery.
Collaborate with internal CERT experts to design realistic crisis scenarios and response playbooks.
Facilitate workshops and executive briefings to improve decision-making under pressure.
Analyze exercise outcomes and provide actionable recommendations for resilience improvement.
Stay up-to-date with emerging cyber threats, regulations, and best practices in resilience and crisis management.
Join our international Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) with skilled Forensic Investigators, Recovery Specialists, and Negotiators, all committed to continuous improvement. Collaborate on-site in our offices in Utrecht and Leipzig with cross-functional teams dedicated to resolving client-specific challenges. Share insights and expertise to strengthen our collective capabilities, serving clients across Europe.
First things first: you will receive a permanent employment contract with 30 days' holiday per year. You will get a remote contract and you can organize your own working hours in consultation with your colleagues and customers.
What do you want to achieve and what support do you need? You will receive regular training and support in achieving your professional goals. You can also develop further within Northwave.
It is important to us to respect and value each other - as professionals and as people. The best way to get to know your 275+ colleagues from the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Belgium and Sweden is to take part in one of our many activities, e.g. a joined trip to the theme park.
You will be equipped with a modern MacBook and iPhone. We have height-adjustable desks in our offices and our CEO loves to kit us out with merchandise ;-)
In order to be mobile at all times, you will receive a company car or BahnCard 100 (also for private use).
No, the fruit basket in the office is not a benefit for us, but a matter of course - just like coffee, tea and lemonade. Have you ever tried Dutch caramel waffles?

Fluent in German and English (written and spoken).
Relevant university degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, (Risk) Management, or related field.
