The Opportunity
We are seeking a talented Senior Security Engineer to join our IT team in Macquarie Park, Sydney and take ownership of cybersecurity across Australia and New Zealand.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys being both hands-on and strategic - working across technical security engineering while also thinking like an architect. You'll be the key cybersecurity SME for ANZ, partnering with our global Cyber Security team in Singapore to align local security priorities with our broader Group strategy.
As the only dedicated security specialist across ANZ, you'll have genuine ownership and visibility across the business. You'll work with IT, business leaders, site teams and global stakeholders to identify risks, influence decisions and strengthen our security environment.
What you'll do
- Own and manage the ANZ cyber risk register, providing advice on security risks, priorities and business decisions.
- Provide security architecture guidance across cloud, DevSecOps, networks, applications and infrastructure.
- Deliver hands-on support across security incidents, vulnerabilities, security technologies and remediation activities.
- Partner with global Cyber Security, ANZ IT and business stakeholders to implement security standards, controls and initiatives.
- Assess third-party security risks and support audits, penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
- Identify opportunities to improve security capability, automation, processes and technology across ANZ.
- Translate complex cybersecurity risks into clear, practical recommendations that influence business and technology decisions.
What you'll bring
- 5-6+ years' cybersecurity experience, ideally across security engineering, architecture or advisory environments.
- A strong blend of hands-on engineering capability and architectural thinking - comfortable operating at both the technical and strategic level.
- Experience across cloud security, DevSecOps, incident response, risk management and security architecture.
- Strong knowledge of security technologies such as IAM, PAM, EPP, SIEM/SOAR, NGFW, SASE or CNAPP.
- Experience working with security frameworks including NIST CSF and ISO 27001/27002, with an understanding of Australian and New Zealand privacy requirements.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build relationships, influence decisions and communicate security risks in business language.
- Ability to work autonomously, take ownership and operate effectively across ANZ and global teams.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity or a related discipline. CISSP, CISM, CCSP or SSCP certification is desirable but not essential.
