• Familiarity with industry frameworks such as NIST, ISO, CobiT, SABSA, or TOGAF.


• Experience delivering security architecture in a DevSecOps environment.


• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to engage across technical and non-technical audiences.


• Relevant tertiary qualifications, and certifications such as CISSP, CRISC, SABSA, or cloud certifications (AWS/Azure) are highly desirable.

Benefits:

• Highly respected financial services organisation


• Hybrid work arrangement – 3 days from home per week


• Increased employer superannuation contributions


• Annual allowance to support your health and wellbeing


• Strong organisational focus on upskilling, certifications, and career development


• Office located in central Melbourne CBD with excellent access to public transport


• A wide range of inclusive and flexible leave options to support different life stages and personal needs, including additional paid leave over the end-of-year break
