The Senior Manager, Cybersecurity owns Apex's cybersecurity program across corporate IT, cloud, and operational technology environments, reporting to the Director of Integrated Technology Solutions (ITS).

This is a senior individual-contributor role with no direct reports and real authority. You'll set security standards, review significant technology changes, direct security work carried out by ITS engineers and operations staff, and lead the response when incidents occur. You can enforce security standards and take immediate protective action against an active threat, while business leaders own decisions to accept material residual risk.

This role leads Apex's cybersecurity program at a point where the direction is set, and the foundations are in place. The work now is to mature it: turning strategy into durable standards, sharper risk decisions, and a program that keeps pace as the business and the threat landscape change. You'll have broad scope, direct access to leadership, and a real hand in protecting infrastructure that supports the energy transition.

The role is supported by ITS infrastructure, systems engineering, and operations teams, and by a 24/7 managed security partner that provides monitoring and initial response. You'll be the senior escalation point when incidents occur, including after hours.
