About the Role
I'm partnering with a well-known Australian technology organisation to hire a Product Security Manager. This is a senior role where you basically act as the 2IC to the CISO and craft the future product security and data security streams while they run a global integration. It is a multi-cloud, multi-region complex technical environment with an existing team you will inherit while working closely with engineering teams, architects, product leaders and cyber security peers to ensure security is built into products from design through to deployment. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys a mix of strategy, leadership and the ability to get hands-on if required.

- 5+ years' experience in Application Security, Product Security or DevSecOps roles.
- Strong understanding of secure SDLC, threat modelling and secure coding practices.
- Experience performing code reviews and advising developers on remediation of vulnerabilities.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD security tooling, including SAST, DAST and software composition analysis.
- Strong scripting and automation skills in languages such as Python, JavaScript, PowerShell or Java.
- Experience securing cloud-native environments, particularly AWS, along with container platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- Relevant qualifications or certifications such as OSCP, GPEN or AWS Security Specialty are highly regarded.
Role Accountabilities
- Team leadership, strategy and uplift of an existing product security and data security portfolio
- Lead threat modelling and security design reviews for new products and platform changes.
- Drive the implementation and adoption of key initiatives within the Application Security framework.
- Manage and optimise security tooling integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
- Partner with Engineering, GRC and Security Operations teams to strengthen security posture and support incident response.
- Act as a trusted advisor to developers and engineering leaders on secure development best practices.
Benefits
- Opportunity to shape AppSec strategy within one of Australia's leading technology organisations.
- Flexible working arrangements and a collaborative, engineering-led culture.
- Competitive salary package, bonus and excellent long-term career growth opportunities.
