Full Job Description

Create your best future and join Westpac as Head of Protective Security

What’s the role?

As Head of Protective Security, you will lead and evolve Westpac’s enterprise-wide approach to safeguarding our people, assets and operations. This is a highly visible leadership role responsible for shaping a practical, intelligence-led security strategy that responds to real-world threat environments while operating effectively within a complex, highly regulated organisation.

You will set clear direction across protective security, strengthening frameworks, policies, standards, governance and operational response capabilities to ensure risks—both perceived and emerging—are understood, assessed and proactively managed. A key part of the remit is leading the Westpac Incident Response Centre , ensuring effective monitoring, triage and coordination of incidents across the Group.

This role requires someone who can bridge operational threat expertise with corporate execution —bringing credibility in real-world risk environments while translating this into clear, actionable advice for senior business leaders . You will partner closely with stakeholders across the organisation, influencing decisions at the executive level and embedding a strong security and risk culture.

You will also oversee:

Enterprise protective security frameworks, policies and standards
Executive protection, travel and event security
Crisis management and incident coordination
Delivery of clear, insight-led reporting to senior leadership

Based in Sydney, this role operates in a hybrid model, with on-call responsiveness required during critical incidents or events where leadership and coordination are essential.

What do I need?

Background & Experience

Strong foundational experience in law enforcement, military, intelligence or government agencies (e.g. ASIO, DFAT) , or equivalent real-world threat environments
Demonstrated transition into large, complex corporate environments (ideally ASX-listed or equivalent)
Minimum ~10+ years’ experience operating within structured, high-governance organisations

Capability & Expertise

Deep understanding of physical security risk, threat identification and response
Proven ability to provide credible, practical security advice across a wide range of scenarios (including non-standard or ambiguous risks)
Experience operating in or alongside regulated environments such as financial services or critical infrastructure
Strong knowledge of security risk frameworks and incident response practices (e.g. ISO 31000, HB 167)

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

Experience leading teams and operating as a trusted advisor to senior executives and business leaders
Ability to translate complex threat landscapes into clear business decisions and actions
Proven experience influencing across diverse stakeholder groups in large organisations

What will set you apart

Ability to seamlessly blend operational security expertise with corporate governance and risk management
Experience navigating complex, enterprise-level environments with competing priorities
Strong commercial judgement and calm decision-making under pressure
