Ideally, you'll bring:

• Experience developing and delivering cyber security frameworks, strategies and roadmaps.
• Strong cyber governance, risk, compliance and assurance capability.
• Experience with security operations, incident response, audits and vulnerability management.
• The ability to communicate credibly with executives, boards and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience leading teams, managed service providers and technology vendors.
• Strong commercial judgement and a practical approach to managing risk.
• Experience within energy, utilities, critical infrastructure, government, financial services or another regulated industry.
• Knowledge of ISO 27001, NIST, the Essential Eight, ACSC guidance or Australian critical infrastructure requirements would be valuable.

The opportunity
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a broad cyber security function and help an organisation strengthen its security maturity during an important period.

The position is expected to be an initial six month contract based in Brisbane. Further details regarding the organisation, reporting structure and priorities will be shared during a confidential conversation.
