Sydney, New South Wales, Australia ROBERT WALTERS AUSTRALIA Full time

A rare opportunity for a Security Operations Lead to join a respected not-for-profit in Sydney. This hands-on leadership role sits within a national cyber function, overseeing tooling, detection, and incident response. You'll guide a small team, contribute to meaningful projects, and help shape the organisation's security posture. Enjoy flexible work, strong leadership support, and career development in a purpose-driven environment.

What you'll be doing:

You'll take ownership of day-to-day cyber operations, overseeing the implementation, optimisation, and use of enterprise-grade security tools driving continuous improvement across detection and response, and leading vulnerability management and threat intelligence practices.

Working closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders, you'll play a key role in reviewing solution designs, advising on secure implementations, and driving security uplift through training and clear communication. This is a blended leadership and delivery role, offering scope to mentor others while remaining close to the technology.

  • Deploy and manage security tooling.
  • Oversee daily operations, set team priorities, and coach team members.
  • Conduct risk assessments, particularly within third-party engagements.
  • Collaborate with architects to ensure security is embedded in design and implementation phases.
  • Maintain security documentation and contribute to technical reporting and board-level updates.
  • Drive awareness campaigns and user education initiatives across the business.

What you bring:

We're looking for a cyber security professional with deep technical delivery experience and proven leadership capabilities. You've worked in mid-to-large environments, are confident navigating Microsoft cloud technologies, and understand what good security operations look like in a fast-paced but pragmatic setting.

  • 5+ years in cyber security operations or security engineering.
  • Strong experience with Azure and Microsoft Defender tooling.
  • Exposure to frameworks such as ISO27001 or NIST.
  • A background in technical delivery, such as engineering or systems administration.
  • Certifications like CISSP, CISM, or CompTIA Security+ are highly regarded.
  • Confident stakeholder engagement and the ability to communicate risks in a clear, business-relevant way.
  • Strong planning, people leadership, and documentation skills.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples are encouraged to apply.
