Security Project Manager (m/f/d)

Paymenttools is on a mission to transform the payment landscape for retailers in Europe. With more than 4,4 billion visitors per year in our more than 15,000 REWE Group stores and travel agencies in 21 countries we know exactly what consumers and merchants need when exchanging goods for money. We strongly believe in making payments seamless and invisible, linking them with value added services within the framework of a reliable identity service. Our mantra: #wesolvepayn. We blend cutting-edge technology with stringent security to protect sensitive payment data while nurturing innovation in a cloud-native tech environment.

We are looking for the engine behind our security roadmap. As our Senior Security Project Manager, you combine the structure of a classic IT Project Manager with a solid understanding of security and processes. You will lead high-impact initiatives (like P2PE or country-specific PCI solutions) and ensure that our technical landscape evolves securely and on time. We prioritize strong Project Management skills over deep security expertise.

Your Tasks

• Take ownership of medium to large-scale IT projects, such as implementing country-specific security solutions (focus PCI DSS) or encryption strategies (P2PE).


• Design the operational workflows required for our solutions. How do we manage keys? How do we handle logistics? You will define and document efficient, scalable processes.


• Be the diplomat between worlds. You will coordinate effectively between our Cloud-Native Engineers, IT experts from other REWE Group entities, and external hardware vendors.


• Steer the project side of compliance programs (ISO 27001, PCI, NIS-2) and translate requirements into project plans and ensure technical teams deliver the necessary evidence.

Your Profile

• 5+ years in Technical Project Management, leading complex IT infrastructure or software projects.


• Strong grasp of PM standards (Prince2, PMI, or Agile frameworks) and a talent for Process Design and documentation.


• You have a solid IT background and can discuss solutions on eye-level with technical experts.


• Understanding of the basics of encryption and network security. Experience with ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or KRITIS is a massive plus.


• Business level English is required; German skills are considered a plus.
