Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) m/f 80-100%

About the job

Black and white - our favorite colors since 1899. Simple. Elegant. Straightforward. As an employer, however, we are refreshingly colorful, diverse, and varied. And sometimes quite different from what you might think. Like here in the job advertisement. Because who actually says that women are simply included in male texts? Since we want even more female power at BKB, we simply turn the tables and write in the female form. Men? Of course, you are still welcome. Would you like to learn more about who we are and how we tick? Gladly.
