• Assist with audits, risk assessments, and penetration testing.
• Provide technical guidance to IT and business units.

• Strong experience with security frameworks: APRA CPS 234, NIST CSF, CIS 18, ASD Essential 8.
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability management tools (e.g. Tenable, Qualys) and SIEM platforms (e.g. Splunk, Sentinel).

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and project management capabilities.
• Bachelor’s degree in information technology or other relevant qualifications and certifications.
• Certification in auditing, security controls and risk management. (Certified Information Security Auditor (CISA), SANS GIAC, CompTIA Security+ or CISSP are highly desirable.)
