Jobbeschreibung

Since 1978, Jade Software Corporation has been building technology that solves complex, real-world problems. Today, our software supports market-leading organisations across 25 industries and 70 countries, helping them combat financial crime, manage global dairy supply chains, and run critical business operations that simply cannot fail.

Our portfolio includes ThirdEye, a leading financial crime prevention platform, MADCAP, a globally recognised dairy supply chain solution, and high-performance enterprise software built for customers operating at scale. At the centre of it all is the Jade Platform, our proprietary development environment that powers both our own products and those of organisations around the world.

Jade is entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation. We're investing in our products, our platforms, our people, and the way we serve customers globally. As our technology footprint expands and cyber threats continue to evolve, security has never been more important to our future success.

That's where you come in.

Reporting to the CIO, our Head of Cyber Security will play a critical leadership role in shaping Jade's future. You'll be responsible for strengthening customer trust, protecting our platforms and intellectual property, driving security strategy, and ensuring we continue to deliver resilient, secure services that customers can depend on 24/7.

This is far more than a governance role. You'll have the opportunity to influence executive decision-making, guide strategic technology investments, support the secure adoption of emerging technologies, and help build a security capability that enables growth, innovation, and operational excellence, but most importantly you will lead and develop a team and play a key influencing role across the business.

What you'll bring

• Proven leadership experience across cyber security, risk, governance, and security operations.
• Strong knowledge of security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, and modern cloud security practices.
• The ability to operate strategically while remaining connected to delivery and outcomes.
• Credibility with executives, customers, auditors, and technology teams alike.
• A passion for building secure, resilient organisations that earn and retain customer trust.
• Demonstrated success leading and growing security teams through growth, evolving and complex customer needs, and organisational change.

Why Jade?

At Jade, you'll find the best of both worlds: the agility, influence, and innovation of a technology company combined with the stability and backing of an established global organisation.

You'll join a business with a strong reputation, ambitious growth plans, and a culture that values initiative, collaboration, and continuous improvement. You'll work alongside talented people who genuinely care about the outcomes we deliver for customers and who are committed to building technology that makes a real difference.

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to shape a critical capability at a pivotal time in our journey, helping secure the future of a company whose technology powers essential operations for customers around the world.

We're looking for a leader who is excited by the challenge of helping a successful New Zealand technology company navigate growth, increasing customer expectations, and an evolving cyber landscape.

We have an office-first approach which is designed to support collaboration, connection, and balance.

We also offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Health, life, and income protection insurance
• Enhanced parental leave
• Dedicated time to connect with your community
• Ongoing development and growth opportunities
• A supportive, flexible environment where you can thrive

Come join our team and play a defining role in securing the future of a New Zealand technology company whose platforms power essential operations for customers around the world.
