Why This Role Stands Out
This hybrid role offers significant growth potential as you'll own and shape the cyber security program for a growing national brand, directly influencing IT strategy and AI adoption. You'll thrive here if you possess strong Microsoft security expertise and a pragmatic approach to risk management, enjoying direct access to the CTO and an AI-forward culture. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a substantial impact and advance your career.
Quick Overview
Job Description
We're looking for an experienced Cyber Security Lead to take ownership of cyber security and IT operations across a growing national brand with big plans
Reporting directly to the CTO, this is a hands on role with genuine influence and visibility across the business. You'll own the security space, help shape our IT environment, and play a key role in how we safely adopt AI.
What you'll be doing- Own and mature the cyber security program, aligned to Essential Eight and ISO 27001 principles.
- Manage our Microsoft security stack across Entra ID, Intune, Defender, Purview and Conditional Access.
- Own identity, access, incident response and security awareness.
- Lead security reporting, risk management and relationships with external security partners.
- Provide hands on IT leadership across Microsoft 365, endpoints, networks and collaboration tools.
- Support technology migrations and consolidation across both businesses.
- Help establish safe and effective AI usage and security practices.
- 5+ years' experience in a hands on security or security focused IT role.
- Strong Microsoft 365 security and Essential Eight knowledge.
- Solid understanding of identity, MFA, privileged access and least privilege.
- A pragmatic, risk based approach - focused on real security, not compliance theatre.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and non technical stakeholders.
- Someone who actively uses AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot to work smarter.
- Direct access to the CTO and executive team.
- Genuine ownership of cyber security across a growing Australian brand.
- Modern Microsoft first technology environment.
- An AI-forward culture with the tools and freedom to innovate.
- Hybrid working and a supportive team.
If you're looking for a role where you can own security, influence technology decisions and make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
