We are building a payment platform that allows merchants to accept payments in-store, in-app and online, whilst consolidating all their data on a real-time business management dashboard.

We're a bank grade scale-up which means we take security seriously and are able to get stuff done. We're looking for a new Head of Cyber to join us and do exactly that - taking our cyber capabilities to the next level

About the role


Reporting to the CTO, you'll be responsible for the security outcomes of our organisation and the products and services we provide to our customers.

You'll own everything from cyber strategy and governance to operations and defence.

  • Define and implement guardrails to ensure product designs and solutions have the appropriate security controls
  • Facilitate regular security assurance of mx51 products and infrastructure
  • Manage protective technology solutions such as IdP, EDR, CNAPP
  • Manage security event detection technology and response processes
  • Regularly report upon cyber risk profile and the status of initiatives to stakeholders
  • Manage a team of engineers, focused on product security and security operations

During your first 6 months you can expect to:

  • Help design and secure a new MPoC (Mobile Payments on COTS) solution
  • one of the first for Australia
  • Optimise our new CNAPP solution
  • Continue to enhance our data loss prevention controls
  • Mature our existing security event detection capability into Detection as Code

About you

Some of the things we're looking for:

  • Experience of engaging with stakeholders such as Product Owners or Customers to review requirements, develop proposals and coordinate security assessments
  • Experience in designing and implementing security control strategies within AWS, including CNAPP technologies
  • Ideally holds one or more security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, SANS, etc.


We know this sounds like a lot If you have experience in most but not all of these domains, we'd still love to hear from you.

If you're a SecOps veteran that wants to grow into GRC, get in touch. Or alternatively, if you're a seasoned GRC expert with enough technical depth and desire to step into SecOps, hit apply

For us, culture is the most important.

As an organisation we're growing and maturing so we're looking for a Head of Cyber that can grow and mature with us.
