This role sits within our Security & Privacy Directorate under the Corporate Services Branch. We are looking for someone with a good level of demonstrable experience in Information Security.

- Promote information security awareness to create and support a ‘security aware culture.'
- Communicate effectively and build collaborative working relationships with MPI's people and vendors at all levels.
