About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to provide executive leadership for cybersecurity strategy, governance, risk management, security operations, and transformation. The CISO will advise senior leadership and the Board, lead cybersecurity professionals, and translate complex risks into explicit priorities and practical action. Responsibilities include strengthening security across operational technology and connected-device environments, developing a risk-based maturity roadmap,



and establishing accountable governance and measurable remediation progress. The role also requires close collaboration across operational, engineering, facilities, technology, privacy, and business teams to embed security while supporting safety, reliability, regulatory obligations, and continuity of essential services.

Candidates should have at least 10 years of progressive cybersecurity or information security experience, including leadership as a CISO or equivalent executive. They should understand Canadian privacy and cybersecurity requirements and be able to apply recognized security frameworks and standards. Experience building capabilities in areas such as identity and access management, network segmentation, cloud security, incident response, and vendor risk management is important, along with strong communication, collaboration, and change leadership skills. A relevant bachelor’s degree and a recognized security certification, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience, are preferred.
