Your New Role and Responsibilities

Working on a Federal Government project, the Security Lead (Governance, Risk and Compliance) position is focused on providing project support for the delivery of secure, compliant and accredited systems.


Key Responsibilities: -

  • Lead the development and execution of Authorisation Plans, ensuring successful certification, accreditation, and handover to operational teams.


What You’ll Bring to Make An Impact

  • Experience conducting or supporting security assessments, including IRAP and Authority to Operate processes.

  • Familiarity with public cloud environments (AWS/Azure) and enterprise network security.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to clearly advocate for and explain security and compliance requirements.

  • Ability to assess, prioritise, and document security risks and decisions accurately throughout the assessment and authorisation process.


Don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes – if you meet most of them, we encourage you to submit your application. We’re most interested in your strengths, what you want to learn and how far you want to go.
