We see the potential inside everything and everyone. Starting with you.
Orbem uses AI to industrialize MRI, delivering non-invasive insight into everything from fruits to eggs to the human body. We are transforming what is becoming the world's largest biological dataset into actionable intelligence to reduce waste, increase quality, and accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable and healthier future.
Headquartered and founded in Munich, Germany, with an office now in Houston, Texas, our world-class team is scaling inside-out technology to transform how humanity sees and understands biological matter.

Your Role
You will own Orbem’s Information Security function end-to-end at a pivotal moment.
Orbem achieved ISO 27001 certification in December 2025. We are now entering an active stabilization phase: controls are established, our external provider stack is being restructured, and a re-audit sits on the horizon. You will inherit this reality — and the authority to shape it.
This is a role for a hands-on, senior security practitioner who wants to shape a security function, not just run one — someone who thrives in ambiguity, makes high-stakes strategic calls with incomplete information, and can do the operational work themselves while orchestrating a deliberate external provider stack. Although we are looking for a strategist, you will also be required to support day-to-day security operations.
Your Day-to-Day
Strategy & Program Ownership (≈ 40%)
- Lead our approach to the upcoming ISO 27001 re-audit. Assess the situation, make the strategic recommendation, and own the execution.
- Set and maintain Orbem’s information security strategy aligned with our stage, our customers (enterprise food today, healthcare in our strategic line of sight), and our risk appetite.
- Own the information security risk register end-to-end: build it where needed, maintain it, and run the risk review with key leadership peers.
- Represent Orbem externally with auditors, enterprise customer security teams, and regulators in the CISO capacity.
- Advise the leadership team on information security risk in product, go-to-market, and expansion decisions, including healthcare readiness planning.
Hands-On Execution (≈ 40%)
- Own and continuously improve key operational security processes — including how we assess and manage risk across our vendor and supplier base, how security is embedded in key business workflows, and how we ensure controls translate from policy into practice.
- Bring policies and controls to life. Identify which controls are most material, which to operationalize further, and which to consolidate — in partnership with the teams who will execute them.
- Own the ISMS governance structure — ensuring that control reviews, evidence collection, management reviews, and internal audits happen to a high standard, whether through direct execution, external support, or a combination.
- Lead incident response as incident commander for security-relevant events, with the Security Engineering team as technical co-lead.
- Write clear policies, clear communications, clear decisions. You will author or co-author most of the security-related writing that leaves this function.
Orchestrating the External Stack & Lateral Leadership (≈ 20%)
- Manage a deliberate external provider stack. You will not build everything in-house. You will orchestrate a set of external partners — examples include audit preparation support, data protection advisory services, a managed security service provider, penetration testing, and an ISMS and compliance management platform. For each, you contribute to the build-vs-buy decision and own the ongoing relationship.
- Collaborate closely with the Security Engineering team through a close working relationship that connects governance and technical security.
- Co-build a Security Ambassadors network with the Security Engineering team — empowered technical leads
