Risk Management and Compliance Assess security controls and advise executives on improvements.
Identify security risks and monitor compliance with standards and policies.
Lead third-party risk management, including HECVAT reviews, SOC 2 Type II attestations, cloud assessments, and shared-responsibility guidance.

Align records retention and data disposal with policy, legislation, privacy, and cybersecurity requirements.

Security Operations and Technology

Implement technical standards, services, and tools that reduce cyber risk.
Coordinate vulnerability assessments and promote effective security practices.
Lead response and communications for suspected and confirmed incidents.
Maintain incident response protocols and conduct regular tabletop exercises.
Maintain continuity, succession, and cross-training plans for disrupted operations.

Reporting, Metrics, and Board Accountability

Report cybersecurity risk, control effectiveness, and strategy to executives and the Board Audit & Risk Committee.
Maintain metrics for maturity, insurance, third-party ratings, vulnerabilities, and training completion.
Present the security dashboard on an established schedule.
Education, Awareness, and Security Culture Lead security awareness programs and set measurable training targets for staff, faculty, and students.
Report training completion and remediation plans to executives and the Board.
Track higher-education security issues and consult governments and industry partners.
Support cybersecurity-related academic programs as needed.
External Partnerships and Collaboration Represent the organization in multi-agency threat-sharing, incident planning, and tabletop exercises.
Partner with Privacy, Legal, Communications, and academic leaders on security matters.
People Leadership Lead, coach, and develop IT security staff within a client-focused culture.
Oversee service quality, efficiency, stakeholder engagement, and SLAs.
Build recruitment and retention plans that strengthen business and technical capability.
Duties may change based on organizational needs and CIO direction.

REQUIRED SKILLS/ABILITIES:

Expert knowledge of NIST, ISACA, CIS Controls, and applicable legislation, including Ontario’s Enhancing Digital Security and Trust Act, FIPPA, PIPEDA, and PHIPA.
Strong understanding of AI-enabled threats, defensive tools, vendor capabilities, and institutional AI risk.
Knowledge of nation-state threats and geopolitical risks affecting Canadian post-secondary institutions.
Expertise in network, endpoint, cloud, identity, vulnerability, and incident response security.
Proven ability to develop cybersecurity strategy, assess risk, prioritize threats, and implement mitigation plans.
Strong leadership, change management, negotiation, influencing, and decision-making skills.
Experience leading teams, projects, budgets, workforce planning, and service delivery.
Excellent communication skills, including executive and Board-level reports and policies.
Ability to perform effectively under ambiguity and pressure.
Proven vendor, contractor, and third-party negotiation skills.
Results-oriented and financially astute, with strong fiduciary judgment.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

A master’s degree in information security, or other related field plus equivalent training and experience.
Information security management qualifications such as CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), or CISM (Certified Information Security Manager).
Minimum 10 years’ progressively responsible experience in computing and information security, network security issues, and security incident response or related information technology fields, preferably in a higher education or equivalent complex environment.
Minimum 5 years of experience in senior leadership and people management.
Experience developing and administering an IS program and IS policy and regulations in a complex environment.
