Job description

We’re a leading business management solution with a core purpose: helping more businesses in Australia and New Zealand start, survive and succeed.

At MYOB, we believe what’s good for one business is good for all business—and for all of us. Whether you support them, work for them, or dream of building your own, when businesses run smoothly, everybody feels it. Owners, employees, customers, suppliers—even families. That’s why we’re here: to give every person in business the tools they need to focus on what really matters and do Big Things—whatever big looks like for them.

And for you? Joining MYOB means being part of that impact. It means using your skills to help businesses thrive, shaping the future of work, and growing alongside the people and communities we support. Because while we’re the business of software, we’re really in the business of people. And that makes MYOB Everyone’s Business.

We’re looking for a Head of Cyber Security to lead our security function and help us build a secure, resilient, AI-first technology organisation. You’ll build our cyber strategy and lead our operational security teams. You will embed security into everything we build, including cloud platforms, developer experience, and AI-powered products.

This is a highly influential leadership role where you’ll partner with Engineering, Product, Data & AI and Executive leaders to protect our customers while enabling teams to move fast.

What you’ll do

You’ll lead the information security area across Security Operations, Security Engineering and Governance, Risk & Compliance, with responsibility for:

• Defining and delivering our information security strategy and roadmap.
• Leading Security Operations, including threat detection, incident response, management of system weaknesses, and security monitoring.
• Building security into our engineering platforms, CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments and developer tooling.
• Working across engineering and product to protect our customers with secure by default practices.
• Strengthening identity, access management, zero-trust architecture and data protection as AI capabilities continue to evolve.
• Owning our cyber governance, risk and compliance programs, ensuring we continue to meet regulatory and industry standards.
• Partnering closely with our AI and Data teams to secure GenAI platforms, agentic systems and emerging AI technologies.
• Leading and developing a high-performing team of security leaders across Security Operations, Security Engineering and GRC.
• Advising senior executives on cyber risk, security posture and investment priorities.

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring a combination of technical depth, critical thinking and people leadership, with experience spanning:

• Leading enterprise cyber security functions within modern cloud-native organisations.
• Building and operating Security Operations, Security Engineering and GRC capabilities.
• Deep expertise across Azure (with exposure to AWS), cloud security, identity, container security and modern security tooling.
• Solid understanding of SIEM, SOAR, EDR, CSPM (Wiz ideally), SAST/DAST, vulnerability management and zero-trust principles.
• Experience securing AI-enabled platforms and understanding the emerging risks associated with GenAI, LLMs and non-human identities.
• Leading security through periods of transformation, whether cloud migration, platform modernisation or AI adoption.
• Communicating complex technical risk in a way that builds confidence with executives, boards and engineering teams alike.
