Senior Security Change and Release Advisor

Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role
Do you have a wide technical ICT knowledge base? If you know how to determine the difference between an operating system file being updated with a monthly patch, and a config file being modified under a major incident, then your skills may be right for this role.
At Toitū Te Whenua - Land Information New Zealand we have a wide range of important functions, which gives you fulfilling and varied projects or tasks to get involved in, with new and interesting technology and data challenges.
As our Senior Security Change and Release Advisor you will enable the business to successfully monitor production change and release in its entirety, to ensure compliance in relation to the change and release management process.
You will monitor and enable all types of Change and Release processes enterprise wide
- be that project or business initiatives, system/technical or business - supporting small, medium, large, complex projects or programmes of work as part of our Business Transformation journey.
But this doesn't mean you need to be a pure technical guru or come from a traditional security or change management background. Instead, we are looking for someone who knows and understands ICT and isn't afraid to step up and show that they can learn and make this role their own.
Change is a constant part of an ICT environment. But when it happens without a known cause, we need someone who can dig into it, and find out why it happened. Without knowing why things are going on, we can't detect and stop issues like security breaches, fraud, or other activity that threatens our organisation. So, this role is vital to ensuring our ongoing ability to support and deliver our public facing services, and key to help deliver a more secure Land Information and Records system.
We have a new automated toolset to detect the changes but figuring out why and who still needs the human touch. So daily you may be analysing change and incident records against the automated reports, speaking to people about why a change may have occurred, or researching the latest patch releases from a global vendor to determine if that is the cause of the change.
While you may take the lead on this, your colleagues in Change Management, Security, and the wider Digital Delivery will assist you in working out the answers.
At Toitū Te Whenua we design our roles around shared capabilities (rather than focusing on tasks) and so you'll notice our role profiles are broad. This allows us to be responsive to our customers and to strengthen the connections across our organisation. It also gives us the flexibility to provide wider opportunities to our people, to further their careers. The broad-based role for this position is ‘Mātanga Matihiko / Digital Specialist - Level 3'.
