  • $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.

In return for your commitment, we will develop you personally and professionally in the company of competent colleagues, and you will have a professional development budget at your disposal each year for just that. We also want to recognise and reward your ongoing efforts and have a range of ways of doing that, from an annual bonus, flexible work arrangements, to cake ceremonies (we love cake) or a special night out. But best of all, we’ll give you a hoodie and are happy for you to dress casually when working in the office.

Responsibilities

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)

Naturally we expect candidates will be stronger in certain areas; and we are most interested in those that can demonstrate versatility.

Knowledge and Experience

  • 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
  • Knowledge of, or some experience with, these standards - PSPF & ISM, PCI, NIST-CSF, ISO 27001

Education:

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

This is a remote opportunity open to anyone legally authorized to work in Australia. Guided by our flexible workplace philosophy, Moments That Matter, people gather in the office when in-person interaction is most impactful; full-time remote employees may be asked to travel occasionally based on the needs of the team and the business.
