We are a diverse team with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives - however one perspective that unites us is related to the proverb “Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua: ‘I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past’”.
We feel this is particularly true in the world of Cyber Security, and our collective experiences and histories help to guide us as we adopt new technology and move to a more Cloud centric environment whilst ensuring we keep our organisation and the people in it safe.
The full salary range for this role is $140,712 to $190,376 total remuneration, inclusive of our 3% KiwiSaver employer contribution. We expect to appoint within this range depending on your level of skills and experience.
Mā wai te mahi nei? - Who are we looking for?
To be considered for this role you will have at least 10 years’ experience delivering customer oriented and proactive advice, service and support in Security, Risk and Assurance management at a strategic level.
**You will also have**:
- A deep working knowledge and experience in NZISM
- Experience in Certification and Accreditation of Government systems
- Experience in Risk & Threat management of Government Systems
- The ability to gather appropriate information and data, produce reports, and identify trends which guide the future provision of user services
- A recognised industry certification such as SABSA Certified Foundation (SCF), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Microsoft or other Security certifications.
Ideally you will also have a good understanding of tikanga (Māori customs and protocols), with the ability to weave te ao Māori (the Māori worldview) into your work.
If you are just starting on this journey that’s OK too - as long as you have a willingness to learn and a desire to develop your cultural capability. As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner, this is important to us and we offer training and support.
