As the world’s pioneering local delivery platform, our mission is to deliver an amazing experience, fast, easy, and to your door. We operate in around 65 countries worldwide, powered by tech, designed by people. As one of Europe’s largest tech platforms, headquartered in Berlin, Germany, Delivery Hero has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2017 and is part of the MDAX stock market index. We push hard, learn quickly and stay human along the way. It’s this wonderful mix of high performance and real community that makes Delivery Hero a place where ambition and belonging grow side by side. If you’re curious, collaborative and ready to dive deep into meaningful work, you’ll fit right in.

We are on the lookout for a Director of Security Operations. Reporting directly to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), you will hold full accountability for defining and driving the global strategy for threat detection, security monitoring, threat intelligence, and security incident response across the entire Delivery Hero Group. In this role based out of our global headquarters in Berlin, you will lead our existing operations organization, composed of dedicated CSIRT and SOC teams, while strategically scaling capabilities where needed to safeguard our worldwide entities, platforms, and millions of daily customers.

As a Director, you will elevate our Security Operations capability to the next level, moving beyond baseline monitoring toward an intelligence-driven, proactive defense posture. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Google SecOps, you will drive modern threat detection engineering, streamline global incident handling workflows, and build resilient response frameworks tailored to the scale and operational complexity of the world’s leading local delivery platform. You will lead, mentor, and optimize a team of security operations professionals, fostering an environment where technical rigor, continuous learning, and rapid response are paramount. By establishing strong partnerships with local CISOs and security leadership across our global entities, you will ensure unified monitoring baselines while maintaining fast, effective crisis response.
