Together, we design, build and maintain products, services and experiences that Australian's love and trust, while delivering a sustainable future for Australia Post, and you could be part of that.  
  
We're empowered to deliver for our teams and to delight our customers. We provide an inclusive and supportive environment that nurtures talented people, trusts our teams to deliver their best, and leverages modern work practices and technologies.

What you’ll deliver with us 

The Identity Assurance Specialist supports the Identity and Access Management (IAM) function by regularly testing the defined IAM key controls, identifying gaps and necessary remediation activities, and driving continuous improvement in the application of identity controls within the enterprise. This specialist is responsible for supporting the review and assurance of Identity-related controls within the broader Cybersecurity Controls Assurance Framework. It plays a dual-support function across both the Identity team and the Cyber Assurance team, ensuring that key identity controls are not only implemented but also tested and validated for effectiveness in mitigating cyber risks.
 
This role collaborates with the application and technology teams across the organisation to form a comprehensive view of how IAM controls are implemented.

About you  
We are seeking a collaborative individual who can manage diverse stakeholder expectations and influence outcomes. Internally you will be working with business and technology stakeholders to evaluate and advise on the implementation of appropriate IAM controls on their assets. You will utilise your strong communication skills to influence teams outside of your direct control.
