Cyber Security & IT Lead 

We’re looking for an experienced Cyber Security Lead to take ownership of cyber security and IT operations across a growing national brand with big plans!!
Reporting directly to the CTO, this is a hands-on role with genuine influence and visibility across the business. You’ll own the security space, help shape our IT environment, and play a key role in how we safely adopt AI.
What you’ll be doing
  • Own and mature the cyber security program, aligned to Essential Eight and ISO 27001 principles.
  • Manage our Microsoft security stack across Entra ID, Intune, Defender, Purview and Conditional Access.
  • Own identity, access, incident response and security awareness.
  • Lead security reporting, risk management and relationships with external security partners.
  • Provide hands-on IT leadership across Microsoft 365, endpoints, networks and collaboration tools.
  • Support technology migrations and consolidation across both businesses.
  • Help establish safe and effective AI usage and security practices.
What we’re looking for
  • 5+ years’ experience in a hands-on security or security-focused IT role.
  • Strong Microsoft 365 security and Essential Eight knowledge.
  • Solid understanding of identity, MFA, privileged access and least privilege.
  • A pragmatic, risk-based approach — focused on real security, not compliance theatre.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Someone who actively uses AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot to work smarter.
Why join us?
  • Direct access to the CTO and executive team.
  • Genuine ownership of cyber security across a growing Australian brand.
  • Modern Microsoft-first technology environment.
  • An AI-forward culture with the tools and freedom to innovate.
  • Hybrid working and a supportive team.
If you’re looking for a role where you can own security, influence technology decisions and make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
