Our
Story
At Te Mata Hiko (Contact Energy), we believe home is the most important place in the world. It's all part of our vision to leave Aotearoa better than we found it. We're a power and broadband company, but we're so much more than that.

We are transforming the ways we mahi, and how Aotearoa is powered, leading the charge on renewable energy and digitising customer journeys in ways not yet seen here.

A team of 1000+ from all walks of life who love what we do, look out for each other, and learn from one another every day, we're stoked to be guided by our tikanga:
_we touch lives to make life better._

Cybersecurity is a critical cog in this wheel.

Ultimately, we have to make sure we keep the lights on, keep people safe, and protect the information we've been entrusted with by customers and kaimahi.

As the threat landscape is constantly changing, so too will the challenges you face in your work. This means learning opportunities galore, along with the chance to work truly consultatively in a business where it matters.

role


In this newly created role as Principal Security Practice Lead,you'll be a vital part of how the team culture develops, how we support the business in managing technology risk, and how we operate as an enabler for the business, helping Contact work towards achieving digital transformation objectives safely.

The type of business we are means this role comes with diverse, interesting problem-sets.

We have great foundations and great support, but as we scale up it's vital that we continue to hold a security lens to everything we do.

You'll join a tight-knit, collaborative team who are passionate about this mahi, proud of how well they do it, and excited to keep delivering, and help them level up.


Qualifications:

Ko wai
koe | About you**Your ability to collaborate and speak to the business in language that they understand is the #1 thing we're looking for. Of course, there's some prerequisite experience - to have those conversations, you'll need experience in at least a Senior security-related role including experience as a team leader or mentor across Information Security, Risk Management, Audit or similar, with broad understanding and expertise in several areas of ICT security such as data networks, serverless architecture, API security, Web security, Web Application Firewalls, databases, incident detection and management, cryptography, and cloud hosted environments. But to truly engage with people to advise, consult, guide, and lead, your collaboration skills and ability to establish trust will be most important.


As we take a risk-based approach to all our engagements, it's essential you understand risk as a concept, have experience with risk frameworks & management, and are comfortable considering factors beyond just the technical, looking at and responding to changes in the business as well as threat landscape.

To do this effectively, it's important to be flexible - we all have different communication and working styles; something you're used to navigating to tailor an approach that's truly consultative.


We'll also be looking out for:

  • High level of drive, energy, and engagement,
  • Proven analytical, problem solving, and decisionmaking skills,
  • Advanced project, analysis, and business relationship skills,
  • A good understanding of current legislation and precedence governing ICT,
  • Relevant Certifications in the Information Security field e.g., CISSP, CCSP, CCSK, CISA or CISM, and
  • Appropriate/relevant qualifications such as certifications in one or more of AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMWare and Cisco.
Additional Information


We are growing and offer superb learning and development opportunities along with a bunch of other perks like free health insurance cover, better-than-your-average leave, access to Contact Shares, a 'Good to be Home' annual payment toward your home set up & wellbeing, a trail-blazing parental leave policy, discounts on Contact Energy products, and more.
