You'll contribute to security architecture reviews, threat modelling, security assurance activities, incident response, and the development of security standards, patterns and controls that can be consistently applied across the organisation.

Working in a predominantly Microsoft technology environment, you'll have the opportunity to shape security practices across a large and complex organisation while staying at the forefront of evolving technologies, cyber threats and security frameworks. Depending on your background, you may also contribute to strengthening Beca's emerging AI security and governance capabilities as we continue to modernise and innovate.

You’ll be an experienced security professional who combines strong technical capability with the ability to build trusted relationships and influence positive security outcomes across a diverse organisation.

• A proactive, adaptable and collaborative approach, with a passion for continuous learning and staying ahead of emerging threats and technologies.

If you're excited by the challenge of helping shape the security posture of a large, complex organisation while working with modern technologies and a high-performing team, we'd love to hear from you.
