The National Cyber Security Centre is the heart of Aotearoa New Zealand's cyber defence. We fulfil the cyber security responsibilities of the GCSB and the Government Chief Information Security Officer.
The NCSC is strengthening its leadership to remain ready to meet the shifting operating environment. Two new permanent Directors will oversee the implementation of two new branches and their expanding functional responsibilities. They will report to the Deputy Director-General NCSC and, together with tier three colleagues, will lead the NCSC to deliver against our strategic objectives.
Director Capability
The Director Capability is the NCSC's chief technology officer - a newly created tier three role responsible for maturing the NCSC's existing accesses, platforms and technical cyber security services and associated processes. The Director will build the future roadmaps and technology to enhance NCSC's collective impact. They will work with NCSC leaders, customers and partners, internal and external service providers and international counterparts.

Director Cyber Defence Operations
The Director Cyber Defence Operations leads the NCSC's threat analytics, cyber intelligence and assessment, and the government's 24/7 cyber incident response coordination. They are the primary internal customer of the Director Capability and work closely with other NCSC tier three leaders. They are a key contributor to the wider national security system across national policy, intelligence, operations and incident response.
To be successful, you will
