Title: Cyber Security Incident Response Manager

Location: Sydney

Type: Full-Time | Hybrid (Work-from-Home and Onsite)

We are seeking an accomplished Cyber Security Incident Response Manager to lead a high-performing Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) within a respected higher education institution. This role is critical in enhancing our organisation's security posture and response capabilities.

Extensive experience working within a Security Operations Centre (SOC) environment is essential, as is a strong background in incident response and leadership. While experience in the higher education sector is beneficial, it is not a requirement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of cyber security professionals, ensuring effective incident detection, response, and resolution.
  • Manage and coordinate security incidents across the organisation, acting as the escalation point for complex and high-impact events.
  • Design, implement, and maintain incident response playbooks and processes aligned with industry best practices.
  • Deliver regular security reporting and post-incident analysis to identify trends, improve processes, and inform strategic decisions.
  • Perform proactive threat hunting and support intelligence-led defensive measures.
  • Collaborate with MSSPs, technology vendors, and service providers to ensure high-quality service delivery and contract compliance.
  • Lead crisis management initiatives, working closely with business continuity and disaster recovery teams.
  • Oversee the SOC's operations, driving continuous improvement in detection and response capabilities.
  • Participate in an on-call roster to support urgent or critical incident response activities.

About You
  • Minimum 10 years' experience in cyber security, including at least 3 years in a managerial or leadership role.
  • Proven experience working within a SOC environment is essential.
  • Deep understanding of incident response, threat intelligence, digital forensics, and cyber security frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001).
  • Hands-on knowledge of key technologies including SIEM, EDR/EPP, WAF, SEG, NGFW, IAM, and others.
  • Strong track record of managing MSSPs and coordinating with external partners.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GCIH, or GCFA are highly desirable.

Why Join Us?
  • Play a pivotal leadership role in one of Australia's most prominent higher education institutions.
  • Lead a team operating at the forefront of cyber security strategy and operations.
  • Benefit from flexible hybrid work arrangements and a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
  • Enjoy competitive salary packaging and ongoing professional development opportunities.

If you are an experienced SOC leader ready to make a difference in a meaningful and dynamic environment, we'd love to hear from you.
