A leading Australian organisation is seeking a Security Manager to uplift cyber maturity and build a strong, practical security function across cloud and core platforms. This role suits someone who came up through Cyber Security Engineering and Security Operations, and who now leads with speed, pragmatism and adaptability.
This is a high-velocity environment where success comes from clear prioritisation, rapid execution, and continuous improvement — you’ll be comfortable making progress with imperfect information, balancing risk with delivery, and driving outcomes without getting stuck in heavy documentation for its own sake.
Drive cyber maturity uplift across Essential Eight, NIST CSF and maintain ISO27001:2022 alignment/compliance
Develop and run a pragmatic security program across customer/employee identity, network, data and application security
Help shift the organisation from traditional vulnerability management to exposure management
Lead the design, implementation and ongoing improvement of cloud security controls across AWS, Azure, Snowflake, Appian and OutSystems
Drive adoption of Security as Code, DevSecOps and data security practices across delivery teams
Own and mature cloud security tooling capability: CSPM, CWPP, DSPM and container security
Oversee key security controls and tooling, including (but not limited to):
Microsoft security stack (e.g., Entra ID, Sentinel, Defender), Azure Policy
Proofpoint, Traceable
Palo Alto Networks
Qualys
Oversee MSSP / SOC outcomes through performance metrics, incident reporting, continuous improvement and service governance
(Nice to have) Drive guidance and adoption of security policies and standards; recommend and refine as the environment evolves
Must-have experience
Strong background in Cyber Security Engineering & Security Operations earlier in your career
Proven track record uplifting security maturity and controls (Essential Eight / NIST CSF / ISO27001)
Experience leading cloud security controls/tooling and embedding security into engineering delivery
Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment — you prioritise well, execute quickly, and iterate
Strong stakeholder engagement: able to influence, simplify risk, and drive practical decisions
Style and mindset that will thrive here
Outcomes-led and pragmatic (document what matters, but don’t slow delivery unnecessarily)
Comfortable stepping into a function that’s mid-journey — you can assess, stabilise, and improve
Calm under pressure and effective during incidents, with clear communication and decisive action
