Sydney | Permanent Full Time | Strong Brand and Team
Up to $200,000 package + bonus + benefits. Lead incident response team, DLP and Vulnerability Management.
A major critical infrastructure business is seeking a Cyber Security Operations Manager to lead a small cyber team across Incident Response, Data Loss Prevention and Vulnerability Management.
This is a permanent leadership role in a high-pressure, highly visible environment, working closely with senior cyber leadership. The core focus remains Incident Response leadership and people management, so the role will suit either an established cyber leader or a strong senior incident response professional ready to step into management.
While hands-on exposure to DLP and Vulnerability Management is desirable, this role does not require someone to be the deepest technical specialist across every domain. The key requirement is the ability to lead the team, manage SMEs, ask the right questions, bring structure to live incidents and drive capability uplift across cyber operations.
About the Role
- Lead, coach and develop a team of 3 cyber security professionals across incident response, DLP and vulnerability management
- Own major cyber security incidents across assessment, containment, eradication, recovery and post-incident review
- Provide calm, decisive leadership during high-pressure incidents and maintain clear direction when visibility is high
- Improve IR runbooks, playbooks, reporting, tabletop exercises and operating processes to strengthen response maturity
- Oversee DLP and Vulnerability Management activity, working with SMEs to tune controls, manage risk and uplift capability
- Produce incident reports, root cause analysis, DLP insights, vulnerability updates and executive-ready briefings
About You
- Proven experience leading or managing significant cyber security incidents in complex enterprise environments
- Previous people leadership experience preferred, or clear readiness to step into a first cyber management role
- Calm, level-headed and composed under pressure, with sound judgement during high-severity incidents
- Strong background in cyber security operations, incident response, cyber defence or security engineering
- Exposure to DLP, information protection or Vulnerability Management, with the ability to manage technical SMEs
- Excellent stakeholder communication skills, with critical infrastructure or OT experience highly regarded
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly recognised critical infrastructure business with a strong cyber team, supportive leadership and genuine scope to shape cyber operations capability across Incident Response, DLP and Vulnerability Management.
