About NobleOak
At NobleOak, we’re a high-growth challenger brand in the life insurance industry, with a team of around 180 employees, committed to protecting Australians and their families.
Our purpose is simple: to build and protect Australian wealth with integrity.
As we continue to grow and evolve our technology environment, we're looking for an experienced Cyber Security Lead who can help us protect what matters most: our customers, our people and our business.
Job Description
The Role
Looking for a leadership role where you can still be hands-on?
We're looking for a Cyber Security Lead to lead NobleOak's cyber security strategy, governance and risk management framework.
We're looking for a cyber security professional who enjoys being both strategic and hands-on. Someone who can confidently engage with executives and regulators one day, and work through security incidents, risk assessments or compliance obligations the next.
You'll be the subject matter expert for cyber security across the business, partnering closely with leaders, project teams, vendors and external stakeholders to ensure security is considered in everything we do.
You'll also lead and develop one direct report, giving you the opportunity to combine leadership responsibilities with meaningful hands-on involvement.
What You’ll Be Doing
No two days will look exactly the same - but you’ll be:
Leading NobleOak's cyber security strategy, governance framework and compliance obligations
Maintaining and evolving our Information Security Framework
Ensuring compliance with CPS234, Essential Eight and other relevant standards
Owning the cyber risk management program and cyber risk register
Providing advice to business leaders on cyber security risks and opportunities
Overseeing security operations, vulnerability management and incident response activities
Supporting technology projects to ensure security-by-design principles are embedded from the start
Managing supplier and third-party security risks
Leading cyber security awareness and education initiatives across the organisation
Providing reporting, insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders
Leading and developing our Cyber Security Specialist
Lead the governance, risk management and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Driving continuous improvement across our cyber security controls and maturity capability
Desired Skills and Experience
What You Bring
We're less interested in hierarchy and more interested in capability. You'll likely bring:
7+ years' experience in cyber security, information security or technology risk
Strong knowledge of governance, risk and compliance frameworks
Experience operating in a regulated environment such as financial services, insurance or banking
A practical understanding of frameworks such as CPS234, Essential Eight, NIST and ISO27001
Experience managing security incidents, audits, risk assessments and remediation activities
Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at all levels of the business
A pragmatic approach that balances security requirements with business outcomes
Previous leadership experience and a genuine desire to coach and develop others
The confidence to make decisions, challenge constructively and drive accountability
Most importantly, a willingness to get involved and do the work when required, rather than simply directing it from afar
Why Join Us?
Be the cyber security leader for a growing ASX-listed financial services organisation
Work closely with senior leaders and directly influence business decisions
Own and shape the future cyber security roadmap
Join a collaborative, down-to-earth team
Purpose-driven culture where your work makes a genuine difference
Opportunity to balance strategic leadership with meaningful hands-on involvement
Ready to Apply?
If you're an experienced cyber security professional who enjoys solving problems, influencing stakeholders and rolling up your sleeves when it counts, we'd love to hear from you.
At NobleOak, we're proud to build teams made up of capable, curious and grounded people who care about doing great work and supporting each other along the way.
