Обязанности

You'll own security strategy, governance and operations end-to-end: from presenting posture and risk to the Board's Audit & Risk Committee and Tech Working Group, to steering the security platform and its continuous improvement with a small, high-calibre team through an AI-accelerated engineering transformation.

Требования

8+ years experience in security, including experience leading a security function or operating as the clear second-in-command of a larger one, ideally within a listed company or similarly governed environment, with working knowledge of Australian privacy law and listed-company security obligations
Proven board/committee reporting capability: You can translate technical posture into risk language for non-technical directors and hold the room on "are we doing enough?"
Strong technical command of cloud security (AWS), application security / secure SDLC, and the modern control stack (CNAPP/CSPM, EDR, SSE, IdP/MDM, WAF, cloud SIEM), able to configure, evaluate and direct these tools
Framework and audit fluency: NIST CSF 2.0 and OWASP SAMM (or equivalents), with experience running external audits (Big-4 ITGC or similar) through to remediation
Credible AI security depth: LLM and agentic threat models, non-human identity, agent-tooling governance — and demonstrated use of AI to multiply a small team's output
A landscape thinker who delivers through others: You synthesise the evolving threat environment into posture, priorities and pragmatic risk trade-offs, leading through a lean team and partner teams with commercial discipline on a flat budget

Будет плюсом

Experience in a product-led technology, SaaS or marketplace/consumer-scale organisation
Multi-geography workforce security (offshore teams and development partners)
Purple teaming / offensive security background
Security certifications (CISSP, CISM, SABSA or similar)
