Mō te tūnga | About the role
We are hiring for two roles. A Senior and Intermediate level INFOSEC Assurance Advisor in newly established positions, to join our INFOSEC Assurance Team. We have just implemented our new Continuous Security Assurance capability and need more horsepower on the team.

We are supporting the introduction into service of a range of new leading-edge capabilities including the military aircraft and naval ship modernisation, as well as our ICT infrastructure.

Our INFOSEC Assurance Team works closely with our INFOSEC Advisory team to manage the assurance process to certify and accredit (C&A) these new platforms and capabilities - ensuring they are mission ready.

The C&A process is critical to mitigate threats and ensure systems and platforms are protected, so the NZDF can carry out its global mission as directed by the New Zealand Government.

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

This role will have the option of working 1-2 days from home per week, as well as flex around your start and finish times.

The total remuneration (including 4% employer KiwiSaver contribution) for these roles is:

  • Intermediate Information Assurance Advisor: $105,936
  • $121,68
  • Senior Information Assurance Advisor: $149,905
  • $174,889
