We understand that flexibility matters when considering your next role. Let us know your requirements, and we’ll carefully consider how we might accommodate them.

Ready to make a real impact?

Step into a key role within our Cyber Security Program Management team, where you’ll help drive the reduction of Alinta’s most critical cyber risks. Based in either Melbourne or Adelaide, you’ll engage closely with Technology, Risk, Security Operations and Compliance to understand the factors behind our cyber risks and guide the uplift required to resolve them. In this role, you’ll help shape, deliver and oversee a portfolio of security initiatives, ensuring uplift work stays on track and contributes to long‑term improvement across our cyber landscape. It’s a proactive, high‑impact position where you’ll collaborate with engaged stakeholders and influence meaningful security outcomes. As part of Alinta’s strong commitment to flexibility, we welcome both full‑time and part‑time applicants, supporting you to balance work with what matters most.

Why you’ll love working here

At Alinta Energy, we’re taking real action to deliver reliable and sustainable energy for Australia — and that practical approach runs through everything we do. You’ll get clear direction, genuine flexibility, and the support you need to grow, all while working on projects that make a lasting difference. We’re big enough to create impact, but small enough that your ideas and effort will always be seen.

There are plenty of other great benefits of working for Alinta Energy, including flexible working, energy discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a paid volunteer day each year, fully stocked kitchens, and lots more.

What you'll do

• Lead and support the delivery, oversight and reporting of cyber risk‑reduction initiatives across the business.
• Develop program documentation, project briefs, and portfolio planning that aligns with our Cyber Security Program Strategy and AESCSF practices.
• Work closely with technology teams to uplift deficient controls, support change adoption, and embed standard security patterns within projects.
• Monitor project milestones, budgets, change management effectiveness and the adoption of security outcomes by control owners.
• Prepare clear program updates and reporting for senior stakeholders, including the GM Security & Risk and the Audit & Risk Committee (ARC).

Your experience

• Strong background in cybersecurity, ideally across risk, governance, compliance, or security operations, with hands‑on experience implementing or uplifting security controls.
• Experience delivering or overseeing technology or cyber‑related projects or programs, with the ability to influence stakeholders and guide outcomes.
• A solid understanding of cloud security (Azure/AWS), network security fundamentals, antimalware solutions, and encryption practices.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical issues for non‑technical audiences and build strong stakeholder relationships.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to operate calmly and effectively in dynamic, high‑pressure environments.

Please note this role requires full working rights within Australia.
