Cyber Security Technical Lead (Hands-On)
Adelaide, SA | Permanent Full-Time

Talent International is proud to be supporting Journey Beyond in the search for an experienced Cyber Security Technical Lead to join their Adelaide-based technology team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly hands-on cyber security professional who wants broader ownership while remaining close to the technology. The role is expected to be approximately 80% hands-on, with technical capability and implementation experience prioritised over extensive people-management experience.

About Journey Beyond

Journey Beyond is one of Australia’s leading experiential tourism groups, bringing together a diverse portfolio of iconic travel and tourism experiences across rail journeys, touring, cruising, lodges, attractions and dining.

With operations spanning multiple locations and businesses, Journey Beyond provides a complex and varied technology environment where this role can have genuine Group-wide impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Hands-on implementation and improvement of cyber security controls and initiatives.
• Manage vulnerability identification, remediation, threat detection and incident response.
• Strengthen security across network, application and cloud environments.
• Contribute to and execute the Group’s cyber security strategy and roadmap.
• Undertake PCI DSS reviews, cyber risk assessments, security assurance and third-party security reviews.
• Embed security-by-design across technology projects and platforms.
• Provide cyber security advice and reporting to senior stakeholders.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to the existing Cyber Security team.

What We’re Looking For

We’re particularly interested in candidates who have progressed through a technical cyber security/security engineering background and still enjoy being hands-on.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Strong hands-on experience across cyber security engineering and security operations.
• Experience with vulnerability management and remediation, threat detection and incident response.
• Strong understanding of network, application and cloud security, along with security architecture.
• Experience personally implementing, configuring and improving security controls and technologies.

• Ability to communicate technical security risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to operate autonomously, take ownership and drive security improvements.
• Previous team leadership or mentoring experience is advantageous; however, deep technical capability is the priority.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This isn’t a traditional management role where you’ll move away from the technology. Journey Beyond is specifically seeking someone who wants to remain technically hands-on while gaining broader ownership and influence across an enterprise cyber security function.

Based at Journey Beyond’s Head Office on North Terrace, Adelaide, you’ll have the opportunity to directly contribute to the implementation and ongoing maturity of cyber security across a unique and diverse group of businesses.

If you’re currently working as a Senior Cyber Security Engineer, Cyber Security Lead, Security Engineering Lead, Senior Security Consultant or hands-on Cyber Security Manager and are ready for broader ownership, we’d be keen to hear from you.

• Lead cyber risk, assurance and system authorisation across complex technology environments
• 12-month contract + 12-month extension
• Must hold a current Baseline security clearance or higher

Take on a senior cyber governance role where you’ll assess complex technology risks and help shape how systems achieve and maintain security authorisation.

You’ll work across Security Risk Assessments, Security Impact Assessments, SATO and broader assurance activities, partnering with project teams, cyber specialists and service providers across cloud, enterprise and emerging technology environments.

The Role

As a Cyber Security Adviser, you’ll provide practical risk and compliance advice across multiple projects and systems, helping ensure security requirements are understood and addressed throughout their lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Conducting complex Security Risk Assessments (SRA) and Security Impact Assessments (SIA)
• Defining risk treatments and security control baselines to support system authorisation
• Interpreting findings from IRAP assessments, penetration testing and SOC 1/SOC 2 reports
• Reviewing third-party risk documentation and supporting broader security compliance and assurance
• Issuing, reviewing and re-evaluating Security Approval to Operate (SATO) and presenting security risk advice to executive stakeholders

About You

We’re particularly interested in:

• Strong experience conducting SRAs and SIAs, including threat modelling, risk treatment and control effectiveness assessments
• Strong knowledge of ISM, PSPF, NIST and ISO 27001
• Experience with security accreditation, system authorisation and compliance
• Cyber risk experience across cloud environments such as AWS, Azure and SaaS
• The ability to translate technical security risks into clear advice for executive and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience operating across complex, multi-vendor environments
• Knowledge of emerging cyber risks across AI and mainframe

Why Consider the Opportunity?

This role gives you exposure to cyber risk across a broad technology landscape, rather than being focused on one system or security domain. You’ll assess everything from cloud and enterprise platforms through to emerging AI risks, while having direct involvement in the decisions that determine how systems achieve and maintain authorisation.

There’s also a strong stakeholder element, with opportunities to influence security outcomes across project teams, service providers and executive governance forums.

AI Cyber Security & Controls Engineer | AI Governance, Cyber Security Controls & Microsoft Purview

• Location: ACT-Based (Onsite – Mandatory)
• Security Clearance: NV1-Cleared (Mandatory)
• Contract Length: 12 Months + 2 * 12 Months Extensions (Based on the Department’s sole discretion)

About the Position:

AI creates new capability. It also creates a different set of security, privacy and control challenges.

This role sits directly at that intersection.

You’ll lead the practical application of AI governance and cyber security controls, helping ensure AI technologies can be adopted securely and responsibly across a complex enterprise ICT environment. The work spans AI risk assessment, governance frameworks, security standards and policy, but importantly, it also moves into the technical implementation of those controls.

A key part of the role is translating emerging AI risks including data leakage, prompt injection, model manipulation and unauthorised AI usage into practical safeguards across Microsoft 365 and associated platforms.

This is where the role stands apart: it needs someone who can connect AI governance, cyber security and policy with hands-on controls engineering rather than operating solely within one of those disciplines.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and continuously improve AI governance, security standards and control frameworks aligned with cyber security, privacy, risk and compliance requirements.
• Assess AI use cases and emerging threats, providing practical recommendations for secure and responsible AI deployment.
• Design, implement and maintain AI-related security and data protection controls across Microsoft 365, Purview and associated platforms.
• Work across technical teams, architects and policy stakeholders to translate AI risks and requirements into actionable enterprise controls.

What We Are Looking For:

• Experience across AI governance, technology risk, cyber security governance or information security, with a strong understanding of responsible AI, privacy and data protection.
• Hands-on experience implementing cyber security and compliance controls within Microsoft 365, particularly Microsoft Purview, DLP and information protection technologies.
• Ability to assess AI risks and translate governance, security, ethical and legislative requirements into practical technical controls.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including the ability to bridge conversations between technical teams, architects, policy makers and external partners.

Technology & Environment:

• Microsoft Purview DSPM for AI, DLP & Information Protection
• Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps & Copilot Governance
• AI Governance, Assurance, Risk & Security Controls
• PSPF, ISM, Essential Eight & NIST

A Quick Note Before You Apply:

This isn’t purely an AI policy/GRC role, nor is it a traditional cyber engineering position with AI added to the title.

The stronger fit is someone who can move between both worlds: understanding AI governance and emerging risks, then helping design and implement the controls that make responsible AI adoption practical within an enterprise environment.

Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI Foundry, Power Platform, Copilot Studio, AWS or third-party generative AI/LLM platforms is desirable rather than mandatory.

Applicants must be Australian Citizens, hold a minimum NV1 Security Clearance.

Solution Architect (IAM) – Enterprise IAM Architecture, Governance & Identity Uplift

• Location: ACT-Based (Hybrid)
• Security Clearance: NV1 (Mandatory)
• Contract Length: Until the 30 June, 2027 + 12 Month Extension (Based on the sole discretion of the Department)

About the Position

Identity sits across almost every part of a modern enterprise environment.

This role is about making sure it is designed as one connected capability.

Working within a complex, mission-critical ICT environment, you’ll lead the strategic design and maturity uplift of enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) across workforce, privileged, service, application and external identity domains.

The work spans more than designing individual IAM solutions. You’ll define the target-state architecture, roadmaps, standards and reusable patterns that guide how identity operates across cloud and on-premises environments, while ensuring security, resilience and operational requirements remain connected to the architecture.

There is also a genuine operational dimension. At key periods, demand across identity, access design, onboarding assurance and operational support increases significantly, making scalability and readiness important considerations in how the capability is designed.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead the development and ongoing governance of enterprise identity architecture, roadmaps, standards, reference patterns and architectural decisions.
• Architect secure identity solutions across Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, federation, SSO, conditional access, MFA and identity governance.
• Define identity lifecycle, privileged access, RBAC/ABAC, entitlement management and integration approaches across cloud, SaaS and on-premises environments.
• Provide architecture assurance and authoritative advice to senior stakeholders while guiding technical teams on practical IAM implementation.

What We Are Looking For:

• Demonstrated experience leading enterprise IAM architecture across complex ICT environments, rather than solely implementing or administering identity platforms.
• Deep understanding of identity lifecycle management, privileged access, least privilege, entitlement governance and contemporary authentication and access patterns.
• Proven ability to translate business, cyber security and operational requirements into practical architecture, standards, roadmaps and implementation guidance.
• Strong technical leadership and stakeholder influence, including experience working with senior executives, architects, technical teams and external providers.

Technology & Environment:

• Microsoft Entra ID & Active Directory
• SSO, Federation, MFA & Conditional Access
• PAM, RBAC/ABAC & Identity Governance
• Hybrid Cloud, Zero Trust & Cyber Security Architecture

A Quick Note Before You Apply:

This role is unlikely to suit candidates whose background is primarily IAM administration, engineering or implementation without broader ownership of identity architecture, governance and strategic direction.

The stronger fit is someone who can move between architecture and operational reality: setting the identity direction, making defensible architectural decisions and helping delivery teams apply those patterns consistently across a complex enterprise environment.

Applicants must be Australian Citizens, hold a minimum NV1 Security Clearance.

Note: The brief also notes that workloads may increase significantly during key operational events, including potential work outside standard business hours.
