Are you a skilled and professional relationship manager who has strong and effective customer service and interpersonal skills, with a passion for security?

The New Zealand Intelligence Community (NZIC) is currently recruiting for a Protective Security Engagement Manager in Wellington. You would be part of a small outgoing and progressive team that is making a tangible contribution to lifting the protective security capability of New Zealand.

As a member of our PSR Engagement Team, you will provide protective security advice to a diverse portfolio of government and private customers, enabling them to understand and adopt the PSR (www.protectivesecurity.govt.nz), and know where, when and how to access the support we offer.  

To be successful in this role you will have knowledge and experience in one or more of the following areas:

• ability to act proactively to influence decision-makers.
• an awareness of, and interest in, current affairs and issues that affect New Zealand on a domestic and international level.
• capacity and capability to interact with a wide spectrum of customers from a variety of backgrounds.
• a good listener who can demonstrate responsiveness, and awareness of customer needs, issues and limitations.
• strong verbal and written communication skills.
• knowledge or understanding of AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018 risk management guidelines and HB 167:2006 Security risk management.
• physical, information or personnel security management.

The portfolio focus will change from time to time as the PSR grows and the risk environment changes.  This will require you to foster relationships and manage internal and external stakeholder relationships that encourage customers to seek protective security advice.

You may already have knowledge or experience working within the security or risk management sectors but this is not a necessity, as your proven ability to translate concepts into practical advice will stand you in equally good stead. 

If this sounds like you and you can demonstrate the above requirements, we are keen to hear from you.

As well as interesting work, we also offer a range of benefits including competitive salary, professional development, free health insurance and on-site gym and fitness facilities. We also promise you will never have to take work home with you!

We have a great opportunity for an experienced people leader to manage the Outreach & Engagement Unit within GCSB’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). You will play a key role in the national security of New Zealand, and set the direction for how the NCSC supports its public and private sector customers to improve their cyber security resilience.

We are looking for an outstanding manager with a proven track record in leading and motivating staff, setting clear strategic direction, and engaging successfully with clients and customers. 

Whilst a background in Information Security is useful, our top priority is to recruit people who are as passionate about people leadership and customer delivery as they are about cutting-edge technology. 

We are looking for a leader who enjoys communicating and who is prepared to put the needs of customers at the centre of everything they do.  You’ll need to be ready to step into a challenging role where your actions will make a real difference to the security and prosperity of New Zealand.

If you are successful, your days could be spent:

• liaising with customers and senior stakeholders
• enabling the provision of high quality information security advice, and supporting the delivery of sophisticated cyber security services to public and private sector clients
• forming a strategic view of the information security risks facing New Zealand’s most significant organisations, as well as strategies to help mitigate these risks

A desire to learn really matters to us.  We invest significantly in our people and expect you to be hungry to acquire new skills and experience.  We offer training and development opportunities online, in New Zealand and overseas.  We’ll help you build a career where you fulfil your potential.

Our values are central to everything we do.  We want to find people who are honest and courageous, curious and resilient, agile and self-aware.  And we want to know that they’ll encourage the same traits in those they lead.

As well as interesting work, we also offer a range of benefits including competitive salary, on-site gym and fitness facilities.  We also promise you will never have to take work home with you!
