Security Delivery Manager (m/f/d) - Syntax

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Security Delivery Manager to support product management of our security portfolio and all aspects of our key vendor initiatives. This is a delivery-focused role that blends management and coordination of all activities related to security product management support and vendor/partner management, ensuring our security services are delivered effectively, and our vendor ecosystem is managed proactively.

About the Security Services Delivery Excellence Team

This role sits within the Security Services Delivery Excellence team, whose purpose is Elevating Security Delivery to a Standard of Excellence - enabling every other department to focus on its core purpose.

The team's principle is to Orchestrate, Not Operate: it focuses on how security services are delivered, not on what is engineered or operated. It defines the frameworks, standards, and metrics that empower Engineering and Operations to deliver consistently and efficiently. In practice, the team:

• Unify the Service Experience - ensure that all security services, regardless of technical domain, follow a consistent delivery approach that enhances quality, transparency, and customer confidence.

• Bridge Strategic and Operational Layers - connect the CISO's Engineering, Operations, and Governance towers through shared processes, common metrics, and maturity initiatives.

• Institutionalize Service Excellence - establish a global framework for measuring quality, SLA performance, and customer satisfaction (KPI/KRI/NPS) without dictating technical execution.

• Strengthen Readiness and Handoffs - coordinate readiness reviews, onboarding, and pre-launch validation to ensure services are operationally fit before handover to Operations.

• Accelerate Continuous Improvement - lead cross-functional improvement programs based on service performance data and post-implementation insight, feeding lessons learned back into Engineering and Operations.

• Enable Sustainable Growth - develop tools, dashboards, and delivery methodologies that scale globally, supporting rather than duplicating existing engineering or operational responsibilities.

• Champion Collaboration and Clarity - serve as the single point of coordination for security service delivery excellence, ensuring alignment and clear ownership across all security towers.
