Job Summary

The Team
Connected Services BC (CSBC) brings together teams, expertise, and service channels from across government to deliver more trusted, inclusive, and connected services for people and businesses in B.C. It operates through a six-division structure spanning Access, Delivery, and Direction, designed to reduce fragmentation and improve outcomes. Within CSBC, the Technical Direction Division is a large, established team that sets enterprise technology standards and guardrails-including a complex cybersecurity function-to ensure systems are secure, interoperable, and aligned to shared platforms. As part of this team, you’ll collaborate across disciplines in an inclusive, supportive environment to strengthen security, simplify systems, and enable responsible, modern digital services across government.

The Role
As the Senior Executive Director, you will create and lead the vision and direction for government cybersecurity, guiding strategy, policy, and transformation to protect public services and data. Increasingly, the role leads through orchestration and influence by setting enterprise direction, convening partners, and governing shared security outcomes, rather than through direct ownership of every control or system.

This role offers uncommon scope, influence, and purpose. The opportunity is to shape how trust, resilience, and cybersecurity are built into public services used by millions of people, and to build enduring capability that extends well beyond individual systems or technologies. While ambitious in scope, success will be achieved through clear prioritization, partnership, and sustained progress over time. It is a chance to leave a durable legacy by strengthening leadership literacy, institutional trust, and secure service delivery at a scale and societal importance rarely found in the private sector. For more information about CSBC, visit our SharePoint page.

What you’ll have to work with:

  • A large, established Technical Direction division within Connected Services BC
  • Existing cybersecurity teams, tools, governance structures, and strong partnerships across ministries and shared platforms
  • Support from enterprise functions including architecture, procurement, and digital strategy
  • A mandate to prioritize and sequence transformation over time

Key priorities in your first 12-18 months may include:

  • Establish enterprise cybersecurity priorities and governance
  • Strengthen alignment across ministries and shared services
  • Improve enterprise visibility of cyber risk
  • Advance modernization in high-risk areas

What success looks like in this role:

  • Enterprise-wide adoption of clear cybersecurity priorities and governance
  • More transparent, decision-ready view of cyber risk across ministries
  • Stronger alignment between security, platforms, and service delivery
  • Demonstrated progress in modernizing high-risk legacy environments
  • Increased leadership capability and accountability for cybersecurity across government

Qualifications:
Education and Experience Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information security or related field, plus a minimum of 10 years experience in cybersecurity, digital platforms, identity and access management, enterprise risk, or large-scale technology transformation; OR
  • Master’s degree in computer science, information security or related field, plus a minimum of 8 years experience in cybersecurity, digital platforms, identity and access management, enterprise risk, or large-scale technology transformation;
  • An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered.

A minimum of 5 years related experience in all the areas below:

  • Experience in a senior leadership position within a large and complex IT or digital services environment
  • Experience providing strategic advice, briefings, and presentations to senior ministry executive and senior government officials (or private sector equivalent)
  • Experience leading organizational change associated with the implementation or transformation of new programs, policies, products or services.
  • Experience developing and leading effective IT governance frameworks, processes, reporting and providing committee direction and oversight, including risk and compliance management.
  • Experience incorporating business priorities, strategies, goals, emerging technologies, industry trends, and evaluating economic viability in a fast-paced technology-dependent business area
  • Experience managing a diverse team of professional staff and project teams.
  • Experience establishing collaborative relationships with local, regional, national, and international entities involved in information security, or related, including participation on boards, or equivalent.

Preference may be given to those with the following:

  • Demonstrated experience modernizing legacy-heavy environments.
  • Security certifications, such as in CISSP, or other relevant security-related designation(s) an asset.
  • Experience leading complex transformation in public sector, regulated, or mission-critical environments is an asset.
