Here is an example of how you would go about it

Your controller:

public function indexAction()
{
    $user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

    return $this->render('YourBundle:Page:index.html.twig', array('user_role' => $user->getRole()));
}

Twig:

{% if user_role == "administrator" %}
Menu 1, menu 2, menu3
{% elseif user_role == "organizationhead" %}
Menu 1, Menu 4
{% elseif user_role == "etc" %}
Menu 5
{% endif %}
