What is the Cyber AI Guild?
Cybersecurity has been an exciting and fast-moving space for decades, and the explosive growth in AI capabilities in the last two years has certainly matched it for the pace of change.
Our cyber teams look for opportunities to both bring cyber-safety to everyone’s use of AI, as well as AI tools to bear on cyber tools. In service of this, we’re looking to turbocharge our approach through a Cyber AI Guild, within our Information Security Group.
The Guild will be a virtual team, bringing together AI specialists across our Cyber functions, helping us to keep up-to-date with the bleeding edge of capability, bring AI capabilities into cyber to drive pragmatic change, and to help the broader organisation adopt AI capabilities in cyber safe ways.
About the role:
This role will be charged with creating the Cyber AI Guild and growing it. This role will bring together people who are passionate about cyber and AI, help them create a common identity, and help them work together as a virtual team to accelerate improvements in how we work.
You will act as a champion and advocate for the Cyber AI Guild, facilitating collaboration and driving AI proficiency within the Information Security Group.
Your background may be in Programming, Application development, Architecture or Information Security itself. We are looking for an individual who is knowledgeable in AI and is interested in working at intersection of AI and CyberSecurity at Westpac.
What you need to have:
- A genuine passion for Cybersecurity and for AI, and a desire to share that passion with others.
- A sophisticated understanding of multiple of AI tools – and the ability to clearly explain where they’re great, and where they’re not the right tool for the job.
- A history of experimenting with many AI tools and knowing their pros, cons and potential risks.
- A demonstrated pattern of life-long learning (nothing stays still for long in cyber or AI).
- Experience organising, inspiring, and leading virtual teams, community groups, volunteers, or similar. As well as excellent communication skills.
- At least some understanding of cyber and an excitement to learn.
You do not need to know how to write code, and you do not need to have cyber-specialist experience.
This is a unique opportunity to work with a great cyber team, on the edge of new capabilities, and to make a real difference at a critical moment.
