Build your career and Australia’s future

Not many people can say they are working on building Australia’s future. With us you’ll be doing just that, leaving a legacy for all Australians. Plus, there’s equal employment, great training, and true flexible working arrangements. 

A bit about your role

This role requires extensive, hands-on security experience across all aspects of security (including technical), with a strong focus on delivering key outcomes to time, scope and budget.   

You will lead the team that acts as the nexus between the Security Group and the broader nbn organisation, enabling prioritised, optimised and well governed delivery of continually evolving cyber security capabilities.  

As a senior leader within Enterprise Security Enablement (ESE), you are accountable for translating strategic objectives into actionable delivery plans, strengthening delivery governance and reporting, and driving maturity uplift across enterprise-wide security capabilities. The role ensures initiatives deliver measurable, high-quality outcomes that strengthen organisational resilience.

A bit about you

We are seeking a seasoned cyber security leader with strong programme and delivery management experience in large, complex enterprise environments. The successful candidate will bring deep knowledge of relevant frameworks and regulatory obligations, including ASD ISM, PSPF, Essential Eight, SOCI, TSSR, NIST CSF and NIST SP 800-53, supported by recognised industry certifications.

This role requires advanced communication, influencing, planning, and organisational skills, with the ability to engage confidently with senior stakeholders. 

The ideal candidate will be recognised for aligning stakeholders to technical outcomes, removing inefficiencies and duplication in delivery processes, and ensuring security objectives remain central to enterprise strategy.

Candidates must hold, or be eligible to obtain, an Australian Government security clearance (minimum NV1).
