Assisting 86.7 million people in around 83 countries each year, the World Food Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian organization saving lives and changing lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. WFP’s efforts focus on emergency assistance, relief and rehabilitation, development aid and special operations. Two-thirds of our work is in conflict-affected countries where people are three times more likely to be undernourished than those living in countries without conflict. WFP development projects focus on nutrition, especially for mothers and children, addressing malnutrition from the earliest stages through programmes targeting the first 1,000 days from conception to a child’s second birthday, and later through school meals. WFP also provides services to the entire humanitarian community, including passenger air transportation through the UN Humanitarian Air Service, which flies to more than 280 locations worldwide. Funded entirely by voluntary donations, in 2018 WFP raised a record US$7.2 billion. WFP has more than 17,000 staff worldwide of whom over 90 percent are based in the countries where the agency provides assistance.

WHY JOIN US?
ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT
The information security landscape is changing and information security has become a high priority for WFP.
With an extensive network of offices worldwide and a decentralised decision-making structure, WFP wants to create an environment of proactive IT operations processes to reduce risk exposure, detect and respond to advanced threats, ensure continuous compliance and drive down security operations costs.
Within this context, we are seeking an experienced, energetic and engaging Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at the P5 level, based at our Headquarters in Rome, Italy who wants to become part of an exciting, vibrant community of information technology professionals supporting WFP’s mission to fight hunger.
The CISO will report to the CIO and Director Information Technology or his/her delegate and will become an advocate for WFP’s information security needs. You will be responsible for the development and delivery of a global information security strategy to optimize the security posture of the Organisation.
As Chief Information Security Officer, you will have the opportunity to establish the strategic direction of information security across our global Organization by developing and implementing a comprehensive security and risk management framework and maintaining and enhancing standards and practices to manage the confidentiality, integrity and availability of assets and data.
The complexity of this position requires a leadership approach that is engaging and collaborative, with a sophisticated ability to work with other leaders to set the best balance between security strategies and other priorities at the Organisational level.
