Project Lead – Network Detection and Response Evaluation (m/f/d)

As Project Lead for Network Detection & Response Evaluation, you will drive the selection and proof of concept validation of an Network Detection & Response solution and ensure it fits our Security Operations Center operating model and technical landscape. You will coordinate cross-functional teams, define success criteria, manage risks (e.g., performance, integration, compliance), and deliver a decision-ready recommendation including a roadmap from PoC to operational rollout.

Your tasks include the folliwing responsibilities:

• Leading the structured evaluation and selection of a Network Detection and Response solution, including requirements definition, vendor comparison, and decision preparation

• Planning and executing a proof of concept to validate detection capabilities, operational fit, and technical feasibility in a Security Operations Center environment

• Defining and aligning target use cases and success criteria for network-based threat detection and response, focusing on visibility gaps and anomaly detection

• Driving the integration concept into existing Security Operations Center tooling and processes, ensuring alignment with monitoring, investigation, and response workflows

• Coordinating cross-functional stakeholders across cyber security, infrastructure, and network domains to ensure alignment on architecture, data sources, and deployment approach

• Evaluating the reuse and integration of existing network telemetry and sensor data to optimize cost, complexity, and time-to-value

• Developing and documenting a target operating model for network-based threat detection and response within cyber security operations

• Identifying and managing key project risks, including performance impact, integration complexity, resource constraints, and data protection requirements

• Preparing management-ready recommendations, including solution comparison, risk assessment, and roadmap towards implementation and operationalization

• Academic Degree in a related field or comparable qualification

• Proven experience in leading cyber security or information technology projects on enterprise level, ideally in evaluation or implementation of detection and monitoring capabilities.

• Strong understanding of network-based threat detection and response principles, including behavioral analytics and anomaly detection approaches.

• Practical knowledge of enterprise network environments and data sources within large-scale enterprise environments, such as network flow data and traffic analysis approaches.

• Experience working with Security Operations Center environments and related platforms, including monitoring, alerting, and incident handling processes.

• Demonstrated ability to design and execute structured evaluation processes and proof of concepts with clear success criteria.

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into business-relevant recommendations.

• Solid understanding of compliance, governance, and data protection requirements in cyber security contexts

• Business fluent English language skills (written and spoken)

Advantageous

• Experience in integrating detection and monitoring solutions into complex enterprise environments, including cross-domain architectures.

• Background in threat hunting, detection engineering, or incident response.

• Familiarity with network and endpoint security technologies and their interaction within a holistic security architecture.

• Experience in environments combining information technology and operational technology with specific monitoring requirements.

• Relevant certifications in project management or cyber security.

Applications from severely handicapped people are welcome.
