Deputy Director for Government Cyber Services and Deputy Government CISO
We are seeking an accomplished cybersecurity leader to serve as Deputy Director for Government Cyber Services and Deputy Government CISO. This senior role will help shape and deliver a secure, resilient and forward-looking cyber environment across public services. Working closely with executive leaders, technology teams, policy specialists and external partners, you will provide strategic direction, strengthen cyber governance and ensure that security is embedded into the design and delivery of critical services.
You will support the development and implementation of a whole-of-government cybersecurity strategy, overseeing security operations, risk management, assurance, incident preparedness and the continuous improvement of cyber capabilities. Key responsibilities include advising senior decision-makers on cyber risk; establishing policies, standards and controls; monitoring compliance and resilience; coordinating responses to significant cyber incidents; and promoting effective information sharing across departments and public-sector partners. You will also contribute to investment planning, supplier assurance, workforce development and the adoption of modern technologies, while ensuring that security requirements are proportionate, practical and aligned with legislative and regulatory obligations.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in senior cybersecurity, information assurance, technology risk or related leadership roles, ideally within a complex, highly regulated or public-service environment. You will have a strong understanding of security frameworks, threat management, identity and access management, cloud security, data protection and operational resilience. Excellent communication and influencing skills are essential, as is the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear recommendations for non-technical audiences. We are looking for an inclusive, collaborative and decisive leader who can build trust, manage competing priorities and lead through change. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent experience are desirable.
