• Develop and implement cyber security policies and procedures to address organisational risk.

What We Are Looking For:

• Tertiary qualifications in cyber security, information technology, or a related field, and/or security accreditation.
• Demonstrated experience in senior management with accountability for cyber security programs.
• Proven expertise in cyber security management, incident response, and ICT security service delivery.
• Strong technical experience with security tools and technologies such as SIEM, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.
• Experience in developing and implementing cyber security strategies and policies.
• Demonstrated leadership in stakeholder engagement, risk management, and delivering outcomes in complex environments.
• A track record of building partnerships, maintaining high-quality services, and supporting teams through change.
