The Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) is an intelligence and security agency that specialises in electronic communications, information assurance, information security, cyber security. It also has a regulatory role.

The GSCB contributes to Aotearoa New Zealand's national security by:

- Collecting, analysing and reporting intelligence, primarily foreign intelligence, in accordance with the Government's priorities;
- Providing government decision-makers with the intelligence required to help protect and advance Aotearoa New Zealand's national security or its international relations, or its international or economic well-being;
- Providing cyber security and information assurance services and advice to the New Zealand Government, public sector and other organisations of national significance, including responding to cyber security incidents that have a potential national impact;
- Providing advice and assistance to the New Zealand Police, the New Zealand Defence Force, and the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) to facilitate their functions including in relation to domestic counter-terrorism, support for military operations and countering transnational organised crime;
- Providing technical services for government agencies who operate at Top Secret level, including the provision of the New Zealand Government Top Secret Network;
- Assessing telecommunications network change proposals and the likelihood that any proposal will lead to compromising or degrading Aotearoa New Zealand's public telecommunications network;
- Conducting risk assessments and providing national security advice on outer space and high-altitude activities with the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS);
- Providing cross-Government leadership as the Government Chief Information Security Officer (GCISO).

Given the size and complexity of this task, the GCSB works closely with other government departments as well as its international partners. We are seeking a leader who can ensure the GCSB is well-positioned to respond to a fast-evolving threat environment including evolving its capabilities and systems to maintain currency of its operations.
The Director-General of the GCSB will have a high awareness of intelligence matters and cyber threats and how to address them, and the ability to provide system leadership to the New Zealand Intelligence Community.
