Cyber Security Manager | Drive Strategic Uplift in a Growth Environment, based in the South Eastern Suburbs This is a unique and exciting opportunity for a proactive and strategic Cyber Security Manager to join a public sector organisation. If you are looking to move beyond 'business-as-usual' and take ownership of a security environment with significant opportunity for change and improvement, this is the role for you. We offer a permanent position to lead the uplift of the security posture in what is a "nearly green field" setting for strategic enhancement. You will be instrumental in defining the future of cyber security for the organisation, leading a small specialist team, managing critical vendor relationships, and embedding a security-first culture. You will also be required to form the following:
...

Security Uplift and Strategy: Drive the uplift of the organisation's security posture, aligning it with compliance obligations and recognised frameworks (e.g., VPDSF, Essential Eight, ISO 27001). You will champion secure-by-design principles across projects and services.
Operational Leadership: Lead the operational delivery of the cyber and information security program, overseeing day-to-day security operations, incident response, and continuous control testing.
Team Leadership and Development: Lead, coach, and mentor a small, high-performing cyber security team, managing their performance and development to build internal capability.
Vendor and Contract Management: Oversee key vendor relationships, including the Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) responsible for the 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC), ensuring contract compliance, service quality, and value-for-money outcomes.
Governance and Risk: Maintain the cyber security governance framework, lead organisation-wide risk assessments, and contribute to assurance activities and reporting.
Awareness and Culture: Lead the annual program of cyber security training, phishing simulations, and awareness campaigns to foster a strong, organisation-wide security culture.

To be successful in this position you will be an experienced IT Cyber Security Manager who has extensive experience in the operational delivery of cyber and information security programs, including incident response, threat detection, and compliance uplift. You will also have strong practical knowledge of information security principles, frameworks, and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST, Essential Eight, and the Victorian Protective Data Security Framework (VPDSF). Excellent team leadership, vendor management and stakeholder engagement skills are also a must. Relevant industry certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent) are highly regarded. Apply today by using the link or email Leonie.Woodfine@randstad.com.au
