Executive - Information Security (Group Technology)

at  MTN

MISSION

The Executive: Information Security’s core purpose is to develop, implement and maintain the Information Security Management System Framework across the MTN Group to ensure information assets and technologies are safeguarded.
The Executive: Information Security contributes to strategy development and manages the execution and implementation of strategic initiatives through working with and across functions, multiple processes, discipline technologies, products, teams and customers.

MTN is an emerging market mobile operator at the forefront of technological and digital changes. We deliver a bold, new digital world to our customers across Africa and the Middle East – one of the world’s fastest-growing regions for mobile telecommunications. We believe everyone deserves the benefits of a modern connected life.
With the changing global business landscape, cyber risks organisations face are on the rise. If these cyber risks are not correctly managed, new vulnerabilities could compromise customer data confidentiality, integrity and availability, ultimately affecting the performance of networks and information systems.

Operational and commercial excellence has become critical for success. The urgency for change has become more heightened amidst increased competitive intensity across all markets in which MTN operates. The Group’s Information Security function must therefore ensure the successful delivery in context of:

• Rapidly changing ICT environment
• The geographic complexity of MTN’s foot print across Africa and the Middle East
• Management of executive and local shareholder expectations across all OpCos and PlatformCos.
• Achievement of top quartile operating efficiency and effectiveness through scale and common processes
• Driving growth through business intelligence and standardization to maximize business impact
• Management of customer and supplier expectations
• Enhance MTN position as a leading network, system and platform provider
• Constant dynamics and local challenges in the economic, regulatory and legal environments
