  • $5k and 5 days’ training / continued education allowance per year
  • Career growth - receive mentoring, coaching, and support to progress your career
  • Flexible work arrangements and a supportive team (you'll never feel alone!)


Everyone's voice matters here. We aren’t looking for passengers, we’re looking for those interested in an opportunity to develop their skills and experience in information security and make a real difference.

Please note, due to client requirements, it is mandatory you hold a security clearance or be willing / eligible to obtain a BASELINE clearance (this includes being an Australian citizen). This position can be remote but will be servicing clients in Canberra.

About the role

Trustwave is seeking a versatile Senior Security Consultant who can provide a broad range of advisory services, covering security strategy, governance, risk, audit and compliance topics, as well as possessing enough of a technical background to be able to confidently work within high-complexity environments. Naturally we expect most candidates will be stronger in certain disciplines; and we are happy to look at candidates with varying strengths provided there is a versatility across all. If you like risk analysis vendor security assessment methodologies in the same way most people like donuts or kittens (or both), then we want to hear from you!

Your day to day tasks will vary considerably – from leading and delivering client projects, working with clients / prospective clients and identifying their security needs and whether we can assist, mentoring and coaching more junior staff and more. Typical delivery tasks might include:

  • Undertaking security threat and risk assessments
  • Developing security strategies and roadmaps
  • Developing and reviewing solution / capability design artefacts
  • Developing and refining policies, standards, principles and strategies, and assessing their effectiveness
  • Assisting in the evaluation of emerging technologies, service providers, tools, platforms and applications that are best suited to the specific needs of a given organisation
  • Delivering security architecture advice (particularly surrounding cloud services)

A bit more about you

You’ll have:

  • Top-notch written and verbal communication skills
  • An analytical mindset (particularly when it comes to technology and business risk)
  • An ability to deliver multiple consulting projects at a high quality, often under pressure, while also developing strong relationships with our customers
  • Experience with these standards - PSPF & ISM, NIST-CSF, ISO 27000

Education:

  • A high school diploma or equivalent is required; a college or university degree is a plus.

To All Agencies:

Please, no phone calls or emails to any employee of Trustwave outside of the Talent Acquisition team. Trustwave’s policy is to only accept resumes from agencies via the Trustwave Agency Portal. Agencies must have a valid fee agreement in place and they must have been assigned the specific requisition to which they submit resumes, by the Talent Acquisition team. Any resume submitted outside of this process will be deemed the sole property of Trustwave and in the event a candidate is submitted outside of this policy is hired, no fee or payment of any kind will be paid.
