About you
You are a senior IT leader with extensive experience in complex, risk-sensitive organisations, ideally with exposure to manufacturing or similarly regulated environments.

You bring advanced knowledge of cyber security governance, enterprise risk management and regulatory compliance, alongside the financial acumen to manage both OPEX and CAPEX budgets with discipline. Tertiary qualifications in Information Systems, Computer Science or a related discipline are expected, as are certifications in recognised IT service, project or risk management methodologies. You are comfortable leading through change, managing vendor relationships, and building capability within a team operating under tight deadlines and competing demands.
