Due to growth, we’re currently recruiting an exciting opportunity for a Security Analyst to join our team. If you’re a curious and detail-oriented graduate or early-career professional looking to build a career in cybersecurity, then we want to hear from you! Based in our fantastic Sydney office, this role offers a competitive salary, great company benefits, and the opportunity to participate in the staff bonus pool.
About the role
Working closely with our Cybersecurity Engineers and broader SOC/IT team, you'll be on the front line of protecting Holmes' people, systems, and data. Day to day, that means monitoring and triaging security alerts, analysing logs, investigating suspicious activity, and contributing to incident response - across multiple regions. You'll action phishing reports and quarantined emails, support application allow-listing and Privileged Access Management, and contribute to SOC documentation, playbooks, and knowledge base articles. You'll work within a modern Microsoft security stack including Defender, Entra ID, Intune, Purview, and Sentinel, with the support of experienced Cybersecurity Engineers to help you grow.
To be considered for this role, we are ideally looking for:
- A tertiary qualification in Cybersecurity, IT Security, or equivalent certification
- Foundational understanding of cybersecurity principles including common threat actors, attack methods, and defensive controls
- Familiarity with security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, Zero Trust, and least privilege
- Familiarity with the Microsoft 365 security ecosystem including Defender, Entra ID, Intune, Purview, and Sentinel desirable
- Exposure to SIEM, EDR/XDR, email security, vulnerability management, or application control desirable
- A genuine curiosity and commitment to continuous learning as the threat landscape evolves
You’re methodical, diligent, and calm under pressure. You follow processes carefully, know when to escalate, and understand that in security, consistency and attention to detail are just as important as technical knowledge. You communicate clearly and enjoy contributing to a collaborative, well-informed team.
This is a great opportunity to become an integral part of our dynamic team. Holmes is a forward thinking, innovative company, constantly looking at new technologies and ways of doing things. We offer interesting and challenging work, a great company culture, office location and work/life balance.
If you are ready for a new challenge and believe you will thrive in our team, apply now.
