Description

  • Major, household-name organisation operating a large-scale digital ecosystem across Australia.
  • Strong investment in cyber defence, with a focus on modern detection, adversary disruption, and continuous improvement.
  • High-impact environment where security outcomes directly protect customers, platforms, and sensitive data.

I'm partnering with a leading enterprise to hire a Senior Security Analyst into their Cyber Defence function. This is a hands-on, senior role across incident response, threat hunting, and detection uplift, working closely with senior leadership and technical stakeholders to strengthen end-to-end detection and response capability.

Due to the environment, Australian Citizenship is required and you'll need to hold (or be willing to obtain) a security clearance.

  • Proven experience leading complex cyber security incident response end-to-end in an enterprise environment.
  • Strong capability in threat hunting and turning intelligence/hypotheses into actionable outcomes.
  • Experience with detection engineering and coverage mapping (ideally aligned to MITRE ATT&CK).
  • Hands-on use of SIEM and EDR/XDR tooling to investigate, contain, and remediate threats.
  • Familiarity with cloud security detection and response (platform-agnostic is fine).
  • Strong communication and mentoring experience is highly regarded.
  • Lead response to high-severity incidents, coordinating stakeholders and managing the full incident lifecycle.
  • Design and execute threat hunts, driving new detections and control improvements.
  • Own detection coverage/risk mapping, identify gaps, and deliver prioritised uplift initiatives.
  • Produce high-quality incident reporting (RCA, timelines, remediation recommendations).
  • Uplift team capability through technical escalation support, playbook improvements, and coaching.
  • High visibility role with direct influence on security outcomes in a complex, large-scale environment.
  • Work with modern security tooling and a mature cyber function focused on adversary disruption.
  • Clear opportunity to lead, mentor, and shape detection/response practices across the wider team.
