*Driving incident response readiness and security best practice
*Building clear processes, documentation and operating procedures
*Reducing key-person dependencies and increasing team capability
*Acting as a trusted advisor to technical and non-technical stakeholders
*Supporting major transformation and infrastructure initiatives
*Working closely with senior leadership to define priorities and deliver outcomes
*Providing assurance, reporting and clear communication across the business
The Person
We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical credibility with proven leadership experience.
You’ll likely bring:
*Experience leading security, infrastructure or network operations teams
*Strong cyber security knowledge and practical operational experience
*Exposure to enterprise networking technologies and environments
*A track record of improving processes, standards and service delivery
*Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
*The ability to remain calm and provide direction during incidents and critical situations
