A real endeavour, achieved with you

As Australia’s multi-disciplinary advisory and business partner of choice for clients in defence, government and infrastructure, we deliver complex things that matter. It's not always an easy task, but anything worthwhile seldom is. Great things are rarely accomplished alone. We’re building something remarkable. Now we just need you.

A real endeavour, shaped by you

As the ICT Security Lead, you will be responsible for the management and oversight of security accreditation processes and documentation of complex ICT systems. The successful candidate will liaise and coordinate with relevant stakeholders to deliver the required security outcome for the project and project deliverables. The ICT Security Lead will contribute and review, with a security focus, the design, development, project documentation, certification and accreditation of the system. The candidate will act as the Project Security Officer.

  • Ensure security principles are captured in design; from concept through to development and implementation.

  • Communicate with and influence project teams, and relevant stakeholders, to the implications of the designed solution, and work to minimise security exposures.

  • Confirm and further develop project documentation, for business systems requirements. The required services include, but are not limited to the development, production, review and maintenance of project Capability Development Documents, such as documentation required for security accreditation, Threat and Risk Assessments (TRA) and System Security Plans (SSP)

  • Work with internal and external stakeholders, in developing and managing deployable systems requirements.

  • Provide guidance on appropriate security classification of project documentation, and assist in the declassification of work packages and other documentation

A real endeavour, driven by you

Our work is highly complex and confidential, so there are some things you must have to fulfil this role:

  • Experience identifying and implementing ICT security controls to large scale, complex ICT systems.

  • Experience working with the software development lifecycle with regard to security certification and testing is well regarded.

  • You must hold a current TSPV security clearance.
