Head of Security

Join us at the Australian Museum and help us to achieve our Mission to ignite wonder, inspire debate and drive change.

About the Role

The Australian Museum (AM) is seeking an experienced security leader to join us as Head of Security, a senior role within our Corporate Services division.

Reporting to the Director, Corporate Services, you will own and drive the strategic direction, policy framework and operational delivery of security services across the AM — ensuring effective protection of our collection, staff and visitors across a complex, high-value, multi-site environment.

This is a substantive leadership role with genuine organisational influence. You will provide authoritative advice to the Director, Corporate Services and the executive leadership team on security, emergency management and business resilience matters, and lead continuous improvement of our security capability in response to an evolving threat environment.

Role Description
AM Candidate Pack

About you

You are a seasoned security professional with deep expertise in security operations, risk and policy, and the organisational authority to lead at a senior level. You translate a dynamic threat environment into practical, proportionate advice for executive decision-makers, and you hold contracted service providers to high standards without losing sight of the AM's obligations as an open, publicly accessible cultural institution.

You lead with integrity and professionalism, foster a culture of preparedness across your team, and build trusted relationships with NSW Police, government security agencies and industry networks. You are equally confident presenting a security business case to the executive as you are overseeing the operational response to a serious incident.

To be eligible for this role at the Australian Museum, you must hold full working rights in Australia and meet all essential requirements listed in the position description.

Key knowledge and experience

Detailed knowledge of the NSW Security Industry Act 1997 and associated regulations, Australian and international security standards, and a current understanding of emerging trends in security operations, systems, technology and the terrorism threat environment, with demonstrated ability to translate this knowledge into strategic advice for executive decision-makers.
Significant technical expertise in security systems and infrastructure — including electronic security, fire detection, CCTV and computerised control room operations — combined with substantial experience leading the operational delivery of security services across large, complex, multi-site environments with high-value collections or assets.
Proven experience managing security service contracts of significant size and complexity, including procurement, performance management and dispute resolution, with the ability to drive continuous improvement in contracted service delivery.
Experience designing and implementing security training, emergency management frameworks, and business resilience programs, with the ability to build and sustain high-performing security teams and foster a culture of professionalism, preparedness and continuous improvement.

Essential requirements

Relevant tertiary qualifications in security management, emergency management, business administration or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated experience at a senior level.
Current First Aid Certificate.
Possession of relevant security licences for NSW including 1AE, capable of achieving 2ABCD.
A satisfactory Working with Children Check (WWCC).
Flexibility and willingness to work irregular hours in support of 24/7 evolving security and crisis events.

About the Australian Museum
