About the opportunity
In this role, you will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Cyber Security section, ensuring the efficient and effective implementation of Council's Cyber Security strategy. Your responsibilities will encompass establishing and supervising a comprehensive range of functions and services. This includes providing expert advice, training, and support across the organisation to ensure compliance with relevant security documentation, controls, and regulatory frameworks.
You will have the opportunity to innovate, develop, and implement strategies aimed at mitigating cyber risks and coordinating incident response protocols. Your leadership style, informed by strong interpersonal skills, will be pivotal in building and leading teams to successfully manage projects with high standards of delivery.
