Through the merger of Bank Australia and Qudos Bank we’re creating a better, stronger and more resilient bank for our customers and employees. As one company with two trusted brands, we’re building on the strong foundations of our history and shared values as we bring together the best of both banks.

As a Security Operations Analyst, you will help protect Bank Australia’s systems, data and customers by monitoring, investigating and responding to security threats and incidents. Working with the Security Operations team and technology stakeholders, you will support day-to-day security operations, incident response and continuous improvement of our security capabilities.

• We have big plans to become Australia’s most trusted bank and a leading purpose-driven business.
• As a certified B Corp, we’re part of a global business community who meet the highest social and environmental standards, putting purpose over profit.
• Every role and person in our bank is essential to bringing our values, purpose and aspiration to life.
• We offer flexible working options, competitive salary and 14% super.
• Our staff have access to a range of meaningful benefits to support their physical and mental wellbeing including 24/7 free counselling, free flu vaccinations and discounted gym memberships.
• We also support staff with study assistance, paid parental leave (regardless of gender), volunteer, bereavement, gender affirmation and family violence leave; and the opportunity for bonus annual leave.
• We support our staff to grow their careers through learning and development and an organisational culture where we reward and recognise innovation and values, not long hours.
• We are committed to building an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce that reflects the Australian community.
• We care for a conservation reserve – where we work with key partner organisations to protect threatened species and involve staff in conservation.

What you will be doing

• Monitor, investigate and respond to security alerts and incidents, escalating threats in line with established procedures.
• Support incident investigations, containment and remediation activities, working with internal teams and external security partners.
• Investigate and resolve security events and operational requests using established security tools and processes.
• Support the operation and effectiveness of security controls, identifying issues and opportunities for improvement.
• Maintain accurate incident records and contribute to security reporting.
• Support threat intelligence activities to identify emerging threats and assess their relevance to the bank.
• Assist with security risk and compliance activities, including documentation, evidence collection and reporting of identified risks.

What you will bring

• Experience in information security or IT infrastructure, with exposure to security technologies such as EDR, SIEM, PAM, DLP, and other security controls.
• Understanding of security operations, incident investigation and response processes.
• Familiarity with traditional infrastructure, cloud environments and application technologies.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate issues and elevate when required.
• Good communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across technical and business teams.
• Ability to prioritise tasks, work independently and contribute to a collaborative team environment.
• A proactive approach to learning and improving security processes and capabilities.
• Relevant qualifications, security certifications such as CompTIA Security+, or financial services experience will be highly regarded.
• Commitment to Bank Australia’s purpose, values and B Corp ethos.
