The solutions that cyber defence build and operate power the identification and reduction of downside risk and increase the chances for technology to enable Plan Zero."
**Everyone belongs at OVO**
At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you'll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here's how:

**Your key outcomes will be**:
- Engage: tell compelling stories and land messages with clarity to inspire and engage those who we work with, both within and outside Enterprise Security & Platforms.
- Pioneer: scan the horizon, innovate, and challenge ourselves and others to stay ahead of the threat and risk landscape.
- Drive: fix ill-defined problems, lead our people and the business through unpredictable events, learn from those events and anticipate opportunities and threats so that we deliver on our security risk reduction goals.
- Strategise: understand the threat and business context in which OVO operates and how the data, systems and processes fit together. Use critical thinking and rigorous decision-making to protect the future health of our business and safeguard our customers..
