Job description

Are you ready to join the winning team at The Lottery Corporation?

We power Australia's biggest lottery games - and we're one of the world's top-performing lottery businesses.

As the home of The Lott and Keno, we're building on decades of excitement and life-changing wins, bringing our games to every state and territory except WA.

For more than a century, we've been playing our role in creating positive impacts by delivering winning moments every day to our people, our customers, retailers, partners and our community.

But we're not standing still. We're evolving into an entertainment company - more customer‑obsessed, more agile and driven by real outcomes.

Because at our core, it's simple: we create winning moments - and we're building the next chapter as the team behind Where Australia Comes to Play.

This is a hands‑on role where you'll take the lead on complex and high‑severity incidents, own and improve detection content, and work closely with our Managed Detection and Response partners. You'll also mentor other analysts and help lift investigation quality and response capability across the team.

What you'll do

• Lead complex and high‑severity incident response
• Build and tune detection content across our environment
• Investigate threats through log analysis and evidence correlation
• Improve alert quality and detection coverage
• Develop automation to improve security operations
• Apply AI to triage, investigation and response workflows
• Manage day-to-day engagement with MDR partners
• Lead post‑incident reviews and drive improvements
• Mentor analysts and uplift investigation capability
• Participate in the Security Operations on‑call rotation
  

What you'll bring

• 5+ years' experience in Security Operations or a SOC environment
• Strong incident response and detection engineering capability
• Experience leading complex or high‑severity investigations
• Hands‑on experience across SIEM, endpoint and network monitoring
• Experience with SOAR, log onboarding and detection tuning
• PowerShell or Linux scripting and security automation skills
• Practical experience applying AI and automation within SecOps
• Strong knowledge of threat intelligence and MITRE ATT\&CK
• Experience working with MDR providers
• The ability to mentor others and influence across technical teams
  

What you'll get

Not only will you receive an awesome candidate experience from our caring Talent team, but you'll get a genuine feel for who we are and what it's like to be part of our team.

The benefits of working with The Lottery Corporation are pretty good. Just to name a few:

• Balance work and life with our 'flex for great outcomes' approach - hybrid working, plus a range of generous leave options.
• Reward and recognition programs at all levels. Your hard work won't go unnoticed.
• Ignite your potential with our dedicated learning and development platform to support your bright future.
• We empower careers to grow from within, your next opportunity is already here!
• A true sense of belonging. We're committed to Inclusion & Diversity with a range of initiatives such as our Gender Affimation Support, employee inclusion networks and diversity memberships and celebrations.
• Make positive impacts with opportunities to volunteer with our community partners. We'll also dollar match fundraising efforts of our employees lending their support to registered charities.
  

We're committed to providing a safe, respectful and supportive work environment. We encourage you to let us know if we can make any accommodations, so the process can be more user friendly for you.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional custodians of the lands on which our offices, retail outlets and venues operate. We acknowledge the inextricable link First Peoples of Australia have with the land past and present.
