Your New Role And Responsibilities
Within the Central Processing (CP) Security team, the Cyber Security GRC Specialist plays a key leadership role in shaping and supporting our governance, risk, and compliance efforts across the CP Environment.
This senior position blends technical expertise, strategic insight, and collaborative engagement to ensure our cybersecurity program meets regulatory obligations and aligns with best practices. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to uplift the organisation's security posture and foster a culture of informed risk management.
Responsibilities
- Governance, Policy & Compliance: Collaboratively develop, review, and maintain cybersecurity policies and processes aligned with key frameworks (e.g. NIST CSF, ISO 27001, DSPF, ISM); contribute to system authorisation activities and lead compliance initiatives, including POAM remediation.
- Risk Management: Facilitate enterprise risk assessments across systems, vendors, and business units; guide business impact analyses and threat modelling; support informed decision-making through clear tracking and communication of mitigation efforts.
- Third-Party Risk & Due Diligence: Partner with internal stakeholders to lead vendor security reviews and due diligence processes; support risk-informed vendor decisions and foster trusted third-party relationships.
- Awareness, Training & Reporting: Lead the design and delivery of inclusive, enterprise-wide security awareness initiatives; tailor training to diverse teams; prepare reports, dashboards, and insights for leadership and governance forums.
- Leadership, Strategy & Innovation: Act as a trusted advisor across the business; mentor and support junior colleagues; identify opportunities to enhance processes through automation; contribute to the ongoing evolution of the GRC function through strategic planning and collaboration.
About You
You're a collaborative, solutions-oriented professional who brings both technical expertise and a people-first mindset to your work. You value working in inclusive teams, building strong relationships, and delivering meaningful outcomes.
- A degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Risk Management or a related field – or equivalent industry certifications.
- Experience in information security, including specialism in GRC.
- A solid understanding of security standards and frameworks, particularly in regulated environments such as Defence, and experience with the Cyber Security Assessment and Authorisation Framework.
- Strong communication skills – written and verbal – with experience presenting to senior leadership and translating complex ideas into clear, actionable insights.
- Industry-recognised certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor, or IRAP.
- A strengths-based mindset, with capabilities in strategic thinking, risk-based decision making, regulatory understanding, and technical knowledge of cyber controls.
- A self-starter attitude with the ability to work both independently and as a supportive member of high-performing teams.
This role does require the successful applicant to be an Australian Citizen and hold a NV-1 level security clearance and uplift to an NV-2
