Producing intelligence products for a range of stakeholders to enable threat-informed decisions.

Providing assessments on the broader threat landscape to maintain situational awareness amongst stakeholders and senior leadership through regular briefings.

Analysing malware samples and code to understand their functionality, behaviour, propagation methods, and evasion techniques.

Leading team research and capability uplift initiatives.

Instilling and encouraging a culture of excellence, integrity, and professionalism; one that works toward the highest standards in cyber security.

Identifying, researching, and tracking significant threats to our organisation.

Taking initiative to guide and implement countermeasures that find, obstruct, and block threats.

Providing threat intelligence support to incident response investigations.

Collaborating with partners to share intelligence and tradecraft.

Assisting in the development of junior people through mentorship and guidance.

Crafting and maintaining relevant processes or tools to ensure efficient and scalable operations.

Detailed knowledge of offensive operations, geopolitical drivers, and attack techniques.

Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python for automation and custom tooling creation.

Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to work with stakeholders at all levels.

The ability to distill technical concepts into clear, risk-focused messaging for diverse audiences.

Proven capability to perform effectively under pressure, adhere to deadlines, and adjust to change.

The good stuff….

Competitive remuneration and colleague discounts. Make life easier (and more affordable) with $80 monthly credit and 25% off Optus products and outstanding shopping discounts with our retail partners.

Flexible working arrangements with opportunities to work three days in the office and two days remote or at home.

Competitive leave policies, including additional 'Connected’ days to focus on culture, family, health, community, or whatever’s important to you.

We support growing families with inclusive, carer-neutral paid Parental Leave of up to 16 weeks.

Build meaningful connections through colleague-led networks and diversity initiatives including Culture Connect, Elevate Women, Disability Network, and Express Yourself (LGBTQIA+).

Put your wellbeing first with free access to counselling and support services, 24/7 — in-person, by phone, SMS, or video.

At Optus, we are strengthened by others and that means valuing diversity and saying ‘yes’ to embracing individual differences. We are committed to ensuring that our application process provides an equal employment opportunity to all job seekers, including individuals from diverse gender, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, individuals with a disability, individuals identifying as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals who may have served in the armed forces or who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.
