A fantastic opportunity has been presented for a Senior Security Risk Manager.

A bit about your role

The Senior Security Risk Manager plays a central role in supporting nbn's commitment to safeguarding its people, information, and physical assets. This position contributes to the delivery of the security risk and assurance program, operating across both Line 1 and Line 2 functions. The role involves assessing the maturity and effectiveness of security controls, guiding business units in developing treatment plans, and ensuring risks are managed within agreed tolerances.

Collaboration is key, with the role requiring close engagement across internal teams and external partners to align assurance activities with nbn's security policies and standards. The position also supports strategic planning, contributes to governance reporting, and helps foster a culture of continuous improvement in security assurance practices.

A bit about you

The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in security, assurance, and risk management, with a strong understanding of technical security threats and control frameworks. A background in telecommunications or infrastructure is beneficial, along with a demonstrated ability to communicate complex concepts clearly across diverse stakeholder groups.

A thoughtful and inclusive approach to problem-solving, combined with strong analytical and organisational capabilities, will support success in this role. The ability to work effectively within a matrixed environment and contribute to strategic outcomes is highly valued, as is a commitment to building collaborative relationships and driving positive change.
