About us:

Making a meaningful difference with mission-critical software that empowers communities to thrive.

ReadyTech is more than just a one-trick pony playing in one market with one product, or one customer. We re-imagine, design, develop and deliver technology to solve our customer's diverse problems – supporting multiple businesses across a variety of markets to be ready for anything.

We're an ASX-listed company which means we are stable, have a strong track record of sustainable growth and have a significant number of long-term customers. So, what does this mean for you? It means we can offer you an experience that will push you to be your best, provide career-building challenges, and that will offer you numerous growth opportunities that can't be found in any other company.

It's an inclusive environment where there is no place for politics, where we get our heads together to solve the problems that really matter to our customers, and where we always stay focused on our north star – the communities we serve, and society at large.

The key accountabilities of the role:

  • Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of ReadyTech's cyber security GRC framework aligned with IRAP, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 standards.
  • Coordinate and manage external audits and assessments, ensuring audit readiness, evidence collection, and timely remediation of findings.

  • Develop, update, and maintain information security policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines that reflect compliance requirements under IRAP, ISM, SOC 2, and related frameworks.
  • Report and communicate cyber performance, compliance status, and risk indicators to executive and governance forums.
  • Support the integration of compliance controls into IT and cloud environments to ensure secure-by design operations.
  • Promote a strong security and compliance culture through collaboration, education, and awareness initiatives across the business.

The key responsibilities of the role:

Governance & Policy

  • Develop, maintain, and align ReadyTech's information security policies and control library with ISM, IRAP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST frameworks.

  • Lead compliance activities to maintain certification and attestation under IRAP and SOC 2.
  • Support the creation and maintenance of System Security Plans (SSP), Security Plans and Risk Registers, and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M) for IRAP.
  • Manage vendor and third-party risk assessment programs to ensure compliance with regulatory and contractual obligations.

Audit & Assurance

  • Coordinate and facilitate IRAP, ISO assessments and SOC 2 audits, including evidence collection, gap analysis, remediation tracking, and reporting.
  • Maintain detailed audit logs and assurance documentation to support external review and internal reporting.
  • Conduct internal control testing and assurance reviews to assess compliance effectiveness and identify improvement opportunities.

Awareness & Culture

  • Champion a strong security and compliance culture across ReadyTech.
  • Deliver targeted training and communication to increase awareness of regulatory and framework requirements.
  • Support teams in embedding compliance controls within business processes, development pipelines, and infrastructure management.

The key requirements for the role:

Skills

  • Strong analytical, communication, and presentation skills.
  • Ability to translate technical risks and controls into business-relevant language.
  • Exceptional organizational and time management skills with a focus on meeting compliance deadlines.
  • Demonstrated initiative, accountability, and stakeholder management across technical and non-technical teams.

Knowledge

  • Deep understanding of security and risk frameworks, including:
  • IRAP, ASD ISM, and PSPF
  • SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria
  • ISO 27001/27002, NIST CSF, and ITIL
  • Familiarity with GRC tools and platforms.
  • Understanding of cloud and SaaS architectures, especially within Microsoft Azure environments.
  • Awareness of relevant data privacy and protection regulations

Experience

  • Minimum 4+ years in information security, with 2+ years in a GRC, compliance, or audit coordination role.
  • Demonstrated experience coordinating external audits or assessments (IRAP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP).
  • Proven experience in managing audit evidence, remediation, and control effectiveness testing.
  • Background in systems administration or cloud infrastructure preferred, to bridge operational and compliance considerations.
  • Experience developing and maintaining documentation such as SSPs, POA&Ms, and audit reports.

Performance Indicators

  • Successful completion and maintenance of IRAP and SOC 2 compliance with minimal findings.
  • On-time completion of audit and assessment milestones.
  • Measurable improvement in compliance maturity and risk reduction.
  • Effective communication of compliance and risk status to executive leadership.
