Job description

• Be the technical authority for Microsoft Security solutions.
• Influence strategy, governance and delivery across complex customer environments.
• Help shape the future of Fusion5's Security Practice.

Fusion5 is seeking an experienced and highly engaged Security Technical Lead to join our growing Managed Services team, based in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. This is a unique opportunity to combine hands‑on technical leadership with customer advisory, governance and practice development responsibilities.

Fusion5 is a technology transformation partner helping businesses go beyond with technology across business applications, AI, cloud and security. Our Managed Services practice is where that promise runs day to day, delivering connected support, enterprise service management and integration services that customers rely on.

As the senior technical leader within our Security Practice, you'll provide guidance across security consulting and managed service engagements, mentor consultants, support major customer initiatives, and drive technical excellence across the board.

What you'll do

You'll bring a rare mix of technical depth and consulting instinct comfortable making architectural calls and stepping back into delivery when it counts, but just as comfortable translating that technical detail into business terms and coaching a team to work through problems themselves. Act as the senior technical escalation point for complex security challenges.

• Lead security assessments, remediation programs and strategic customer initiatives.
• Provide technical governance and assurance across managed services and project delivery.
• Advise customers on security strategy, risk management, compliance and best practice.
• Build trusted customer relationships and influence positive security outcomes.
• Mentor consultants and help uplift capability across the Security Practice.
• Contribute to service development, presales activities and continual improvement initiatives.

What you bring

You mentor naturally, identifying skill gaps and creating real learning and development opportunities for the people around you. You manage stakeholder communication with ease, clarifying technical issues and translating business requirements without losing anyone along the way. You foster accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement wherever you lead, and you anticipate blockers and manage risk before it escalates, rather than after.

• Extensive experience delivering Microsoft Security solutions in enterprise environments.
• Background within Managed Services, Consulting, Professional Services or a Systems Integrator.
• A proven track record leading complex security engagements to strong technical outcomes.
• Strong customer-facing consulting and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience mentoring technical teams and driving capability development.
• Microsoft Security certifications such as SC-100, SC-200, SC-300, SC-400 or AZ-500.
• Australian Security Clearance (Baseline/NV1), or the ability to obtain one.

Technical expertise

You'll bring deep experience across Microsoft Security technologies, including Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Purview, Defender for Cloud and Azure Security Services. You'll also carry strong knowledge of security frameworks and governance standards such as Essential Eight, Zero Trust, NIST, CIS Controls, DISP and ISM.

What's in it for you?

At Fusion5, "Go Beyond" isn't just a slogan, it's how we work. You'll join a collaborative team that values technical excellence, innovation, customer success and continuous learning.

• Flexible work arrangements.
• Clear development pathways and certification support.
• A collaborative and inclusive culture.
• The chance to work on complex security challenges across enterprise, government and regulated industries.

The ability to shape the growth and direction of a rapidly expanding Security Practice. If you're a recognised security expert who enjoys solving complex challenges, mentoring others, and helping customers strengthen their security posture, we'd love to hear from you.
