At our core is human connection – guiding people to reimagine their futures in a community defined by opportunity, creativity, and growth.

Who we need

Reporting to the Chief Information Officer, we are seeking a Director, IT Security and Infrastructure. In this role, you will be responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of IT operations, infrastructure, and cybersecurity across the University. You will provide strategic technology and security guidance aligned with institutional priorities,



supporting the student, faculty, and employee experience while ensuring the stability, security, and scalability of the University’s technology workplace.

As Director, you will lead the infrastructure and security function, including infrastructure platforms, networks, cloud environments, and IT security. You will play a key role in ensuring technology investments align with institutional priorities and long‑term infrastructure and security strategy. You will oversee IT operating and capital budgets, including infrastructure planning, lifecycle management, and investment planning across the IT function.

This is an existing full‑time role, working 2 days remotely and 3 days on‑site at 85 Richmond Street West, with a move to our new headquarters at 120 Bloor Street East in Fall 2026.

What’s in it for you

Ownership and impact. This is a leadership role with responsibility for shaping the University’s IT infrastructure and cybersecurity environment. You will lead the development of a cyber risk and resilience program, strengthen infrastructure governance and vendor oversight, and guide long‑term infrastructure and security planning. This role offers the opportunity to build and mature infrastructure and security capabilities and to implement structures, processes, and technologies that will have long‑term institutional impact.





Building and transformation. The infrastructure environment is evolving, and this role will play a central part in the transition from a heavily outsourced model to a more strategically managed, internally guided environment. You will assess current infrastructure and vendor relationships, implement stronger governance and visibility, and determine where capabilities should be built internally versus managed through partners. This is an opportunity to build, modernise, and implement structure and long‑term direction across infrastructure and security.

Leadership environment and growth. You will work in a collaborative and transparent leadership environment that values accountability, learning, and continuous improvement. Leaders are empowered to lead their functions, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement meaningful changes. This is a high‑visibility role with access to senior leadership and opportunities to contribute to institutional strategy and long‑term planning. Over time, this role offers opportunities for expanded scope and leadership growth as the function matures.

Visibility and career growth. Yorkville is a forward‑thinking academic institution committed to innovation and collaboration. As a national university with faculty, staff, and students across Canada in both online and in‑person environments, technology infrastructure and security are critical to institutional success. This role will have a broad organisational impact by supporting academic delivery, operations, and long‑term institutional growth through a stable, secure, and well‑governed technology infrastructure.
