Aurizn is seeking Cyber Security Practitioners across Associate to Senior levels to support and lead the delivery of cyber security, assurance, and accreditation activities within Australian Government and Defence environments.

These roles are suited to cyber security professionals at varying stages of their careers who are motivated by national security outcomes and comfortable operating in sensitive and complex environments. Associate-level practitioners will have the opportunity to build strong foundational experience, while senior practitioners will apply their expertise to deliver high-quality, credible security and assurance outcomes in support of Defence capability, research, and operations.

Responsibilities will vary depending on level and experience, but may include:

• Supporting and leading the analysis, design, execution, and evaluation of security activities to meet agreed time, cost, and quality delivery objectives.
• Providing technical leadership and specialist advice on security architecture, control selection, and risk treatment aligned with Defence security frameworks and standards.
• Contributing to risk identification, assessment, and treatment activities, with escalation of issues and uncertainties as appropriate.
• Supporting accreditation, assurance, and risk management activities.
• Engaging effectively with stakeholders, collaborating within delivery teams, and interfacing with technical authorities.
• Contributing to team leadership, mentoring, and capability development, as appropriate to role seniority.

What We Are Seeking

• Eligibility to obtain and maintain an Australian Government security clearance (Baseline clearance or above).
• A Bachelor’s degree in Cyber Security, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience supporting cyber security, assurance, or risk management activities within Defence, Government, or similarly regulated environments.
• Experience contributing to the development of security and accreditation artefacts.
• Knowledge of Defence security frameworks and standards, including the Information Security Manual (ISM), Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF), and Defence Security Principles Framework (DSPF).
• Experience supporting stakeholder engagement activities.
• A collaborative and professional approach, with the ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Due to a requirement for Defence Clearance to undertake the duties of the role, Australian Citizenship is required.
