About us The Ministry of Social Development is a people-centred organisation. We're in communities across the motu, working with partners to help New Zealanders be safe, strong and independent. We provide social policy and advice to government and assistance, including income, employment and housing support to people of all ages, families, whānau and communities. As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner we are committed to supporting and enabling Māori, whānau, hapū, Iwi and communities to realise their own potential and aspirations. Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. We care about the wellbeing and success of our people and provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where people can thrive and be who they are.

Do the challenges of IT Security excite you rather than worry you? Do you have a technical background in IT Security with an interest in problem solving? Then you may be the kind of person we are looking for.
The Ministry of Social Development has one of the largest IT departments in New Zealand. This leads to a wide range of challenges in IT Security and we are seeking an IT Security Analyst to join our busy IT Security team and IT Security Programme to help keep the Ministry safe.
Our team works closely with both the Infrastructure & Core Software and Digital teams to ensure the Ministry has a secure technical infrastructure. This means you'll have a wide range of platforms and technologies to learn to secure. It's a challenging, varied, fast-paced work environment, with on-going professional development.
As an IT Security Analyst, you will focus on
- The ever-changing threats to our services
- Monitoring systems and staff behaviour
- Reporting and tracking incidents
- Spending time involved in specific projects offering advice and helping the delivery of solutions
- Supporting and guiding other security analysts
- Technical design review of new solutions
- Helping to create new training and educational material for staff
- Building strong working relationships across MSD and the IT community including the CISO team

This is a hands-on technical role working in a 24x7 environment. The role includes an on-call roster.
