Security Architect | Financial Services (APRA / CPS 234)

Are you a pragmatic, hands-on Security Architect who thrives in greenfield or growing security environments? If you're looking to move away from rigid, siloed corporate teams and want an opportunity where your work directly shapes the security posture of an ethical financial institution, this is for you.

Working directly alongside key engineering, cloud, and IT risk leads, you will play a central role in designing, scaling, and establishing security architecture practices across the enterprise.

Key Responsibilities
  • Architectural Design: Define, design, and implement end-to-end security architecture across cloud, infrastructure, and enterprise applications.
  • Regulatory & Compliance: Ensure architectural alignment with financial regulatory frameworks, specifically APRA CPS 234.
  • Tech Stack Optimisation: Work closely with a modern security ecosystem, leveraging Microsoft enterprise controls, CrowdStrike (EDR/XDR, Next-Gen SIEM migration), and modern DLP frameworks.
  • Pragmatic Security Governance: Collaborate across IT risk, infrastructure, and GRC teams to integrate security into business initiatives early without creating unnecessary friction.
  • Scale & Strategy: Help build out frameworks and workflows as the security function scales across the broader organization.
What We’re Looking For
  • Hands-on Architecture Experience: Strong experience in security architecture design without being confined to a narrow, hyper-specialised niche.
  • Financial Services/Regulatory Knowledge: Solid understanding of APRA CPS 234 and banking/financial regulatory requirements.
  • Modern Tech Ecosystem: Familiarity with Microsoft enterprise security tools and advanced EDR/XDR/SIEM solutions (CrowdStrike experience is highly regarded).
  • Adaptable & Collaborative Mindset: A proactive "can-do" attitude. Someone who is ready to take ownership, wear multiple hats, and solve real world problems.
  • Strong Stakeholder Management: Ability to engage effectively with IT risk, infrastructure teams, and line management.
Why Apply
  • High Impact Work: Greenfield opportunity to shape and scale the security architecture function.
  • Collaborative Environment: Work in an agile, close knit team where your ideas and solutions directly drive change.
  • Flexible Working: Hybrid working arrangements based in Melbourne.
If you’re currently immediately available or finishing a contract soon, we want to hear from you!
