Lead Cyber Security Advisor | Risk, Assurance & Accreditation

• Location: ACT (Onsite)
• Security Clearance: NV1 (Mandatory)
• Contract Length: 12 Months + 2 x 12 Month Extensions (Based on the discretion of the Department)

About the Position:

Cyber security environments are becoming increasingly complex, but the challenge is rarely just technical.

This engagement sits within a government environment where security decisions, risk management, architecture, compliance and operational outcomes must align. The successful candidate will provide specialist cyber security advice while helping ensure systems, services and technology initiatives remain secure, compliant and fit for purpose.

The role is focused on providing subject matter expertise across operational cyber functions, supporting technical teams, stakeholders and decision-makers through a combination of advisory, assessment and security governance activities.

Depending on your background, your expertise may sit across secure-by-design architecture, security assessments and authorisation activities, or Identity and Access Management (IAM). Regardless of specialisation, the focus remains the same: providing practical cyber security leadership that supports informed decision-making and strong security outcomes.

This role will suit someone who is comfortable operating between technical and non-technical stakeholders and can translate cyber security requirements into practical actions and defensible outcomes.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide specialist cyber security advice across architecture, operational security and risk management activities.
• Conduct security assessments and contribute to accreditation, authorisation and compliance activities.
• Develop and maintain security artefacts including risk assessments, security plans, incident response plans and supporting documentation.
• Work closely with stakeholders to embed security controls into technology solutions, operational processes and future initiatives.

What We Are Looking For:

• Demonstrated cyber security experience within Australian Government environments.
• Strong understanding of the Information Security Manual (ISM), Essential Eight and Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
• Experience conducting security assessments, producing accreditation artefacts, providing architecture advice or contributing to IAM initiatives.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and written communication skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical audiences.

Technology & Environment:

• Information Security Manual (ISM)
• Essential Eight (E8)
• Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF)
• Security Risk Assessments, Accreditation and IAM

A Quick Note Before You Apply:

This role is unlikely to suit candidates whose experience has been primarily general ICT support, infrastructure operations or security administration without broader cyber security advisory, assessment or governance responsibilities.

Success in this environment requires strong judgement, high-quality documentation skills and the ability to balance security requirements with operational outcomes.
