Driving organisational readiness and resilience, including tabletop exercises, simulations, control testing, and continuous improvement of response maturity
Providing technical and operational leadership during major cyber incidents, acting as a trusted senior authority to guide decision-making under pressure
Embedding strong integration between incident response, threat intelligence, detection engineering, SOC operations, legal, risk, communications, and business teams
Setting strategic priorities, policies, standards and controls to ensure alignment with business objectives, regulatory requirements, and critical infrastructure obligations
Championing a culture of learning, accountability and continuous improvement through post-incident reviews and insights-driven remediation
Coaching and developing high-performing cyber response leaders and specialists, lifting capability across Optus through structured development pathways

What You’ll Bring

Proven leadership in complex, enterprise-scale environments, influencing senior executives and cross-functional stakeholders
Strong understanding of the cyber threat landscape, attack lifecycles, detection, containment, eradication and recovery practices
Demonstrated ability to operate decisively during high-impact incidents while balancing risk, customer impact, legal and regulatory considerations
Experience designing and running incident exercises, simulations and readiness programs at executive and board level
Exceptional communication, stakeholder management and decision-making skills
A strategic mindset with a track record of delivering measurable improvements in cyber maturity and resilience
A passion for people leadership

The Good Stuff…
