Senior Infosec Advisory Roles

Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time
Mō te tūnga | About the role
Right now, we are hiring INFOSEC professionals in newly established roles to join our INFOSEC Advisory Team. These are not your standard INFOSEC jobs. We are looking for INFOSEC generalists who can proactively strengthen our enterprise level of INFOSEC risk and mitigation. You will be working closely with our INFOSEC Assurance team to ensure compliance of INFOSEC requirements.

We are looking to fill the following newly established roles:

  • Senior INFOSEC Advisor
  • Senior INFOSEC and Intelligence Advisor
We have recently procured a range of new leading-edge capabilities including the P8 surveillance aircraft and frigate modernisation.

Our INFOSEC Advisory Team works closely with stakeholders to identify threats and risks, and to provide the correct advice to ensure NZDF's systems and platforms have the appropriate protective measures to carry out its global mission as directed by the New Zealand Government.

Although you will be based in Defence House within the Wellington CBD, your role will see you regularly out and about in our camps and bases across the country.

Both of these INFOSEC roles have the option of working 1-2 days from home per week, there is flex around your start and finish times and we're open to part-time/job-sharing options.

The Position Descriptions for these roles are combined as one document.
Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and Experience

Key competencies for both roles include knowledge of:

  • Information security;
  • The NZ and NZDF strategic environment;
  • Stakeholder management, and;
  • The ability to present complex issues in clear and understandable language.


A typical day in these roles will involve working across multiple areas from traditional INFOSEC to the specific INFOSEC requirements of our military capabilities, platforms and supply chains.

You will work across classified and unclassified environments and systems to ensure NZDF has a sustained and global operational deployment capability.

This means gaining knowledge of the complex threat environment against New Zealand, and an understanding of how the threat can affect NZDF systems, platforms and the flow on effect on people and outputs.
