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 Groups in the country. 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.

- Supporting and guiding other security analysts
- Technical design review of new solutions

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

About you
You are an IT professional with security experience and enjoy tackling challenging problems to find solutions. You have experience with security monitoring and response, implementing solutions and are familiar with the latest technology and trends in the security environment.
Your perspective could help us make better security decisions
The position offers a challenging, varied, fast paced work environment, on-going professional development, and the opportunity to work for an organisation that makes a difference in the lives of New Zealanders.
