Dublin, Ireland Electricity Supply Board Full time

ESB is a purpose led company striving to create a brighter future for the customers and communities we serve, leading the transition to reliable, affordable, low-carbon energy. Today, we operate one of the most progressive electricity systems in the world, with activities spanning electricity generation, transmission, distribution and supply in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Great Britain, and an international energy consulting business.

With almost 8,000 employees we invested €1bn in infrastructure last year, contributed over €2bn to the economies we operate in and distributed over €2m across a range of community initiatives. This requires us to bring the best of our capabilities together to deliver innovative and value-driven solutions that enable our customers to live low-carbon lives. ESB strives to foster an effective and inclusive culture where people engage, challenge and feel connected to our purpose, colleagues, customers and community.

Position Description

Technology plays a leading role in enabling and delivering ESB’s strategy of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040, but it’s our people who will make this Brighter Future a reality.

With almost 800 people working across our IT Delivery and CIO functions, together we design, build, and support a broad range of technologies and services to deliver on our mission to bring sustainable and competitive energy solutions to all customers. We achieve this by harnessing all our resources, investing in our people, and working collaboratively.

We operate one of the most advanced and critical technology landscapes in Ireland, managing a vast array of enterprise IT and OT technologies. These technologies reside in our state-of-the art data centres, in our power generation plants, and in our critical operations centres. In addition to enterprise IT applications, databases, and platforms, we also operate critical SCADA systems, OT and Plant/Industrial Controls Systems and critical Telecoms systems – all requiring the appropriate level of security to protect our business.

As a new role under the Cybersecurity Emergency and Incident Management function, the successful candidate will build on ESB’s well-established cybersecurity culture and focus on designing our cybersecurity resilience program. This role will evolve with ESB’s future requirements and the continued evolution of cybersecurity threats and activities. It is imperative for reducing risk to ESB by ensuring our data, systems, and processes are aligned with cybersecurity resilience best practices.

7. Ensure that ESB’s cybersecurity resilience function communicates ESB security policies and requirements so that relevant staff know, understand, and can follow them.
8. Assist in the preparation and execution of crisis and cyber exercises, including an executive crisis management tabletop simulation.
9. Collaborate with Business Unit BCP sponsors to enhance business continuity measures to better prepare for a cyber incident.
10. Develop and maintain reporting metrics that can effectively measure the maturity and success of the resilience program across the various business units.
11. Participate in the development and evaluation of cybersecurity policies, standards, and procedures.

Experience and Qualifications

1. Excellent stakeholder management experience, and communication and presentation skills.
2. Minimum of 4/5 years relevant experience in resilience planning, business continuity and/or emergency management.
3. Ability to distil complex concepts into simple and easy-to-understand instructions and communications during an emergency.
4. Proven ability to lead and influence change and to clearly articulate messages to a variety of audiences, both technical and non-technical.
5. Strong proficiency in MS Office suite including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Visio, and SharePoint.
6. Relevant 3rd level degree or equivalent work experience.
7. Experience with and knowledge of change management principles, methodologies, and tools.
8. An understanding of risk assessment, business impact analysis, and mitigation strategies.
9. Relevant certification(s) in cybersecurity, information security, incident management, disaster recovery, and/or business continuity planning.
10. Previous experience working in the utilities industry and/or OT experience (electricity industry a bonus).
