We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Advisor to join our Bunnings Technology team.

About the role

At Bunnings, there are A million ways to make an impact – and this one is all about shaping how we securely bring new ideas to life for our team and customers. As a Cyber Security Advisor, you’ll be the first port of call for business stakeholders when they’re kicking off new initiatives, helping them move quickly and safely in a fast-paced retail environment.

You’ll join a collaborative, down-to-earth cyber team that backs each other, shares knowledge and is always looking for better ways to do things. This is a role for someone who enjoys big-picture thinking, solving tricky security problems in a pragmatic way, and building trusted relationships across the business. Inspiring you to give it a red hot go is at the heart of how we work.
 

What’s involved

In this role, you’ll have the chance to:

• Be the go-to advisor for new initiatives – partnering with product, data, technology and business teams to understand what they’re trying to achieve, then shaping practical cyber guidance that fits Bunnings’ context and risk appetite. 
• Guide secure solution design – reviewing design artefacts and architectures, calling out security considerations early, and helping teams adopt patterns and standards that work in the real world. 
• Lift security across our ecosystem – advising on third-party and supply chain risk, identity and access management, data protection, backup and recovery, and application security through the SDLC. 
• Shape how we manage risk – contributing to risk assessments and threat modelling, linking back to frameworks, policies, and industry best practice, including compliance areas like PCI and privacy. 
• Lead the way on AI security – helping the business understand security of AI, with AI and from AI, and using AI tools yourself to boost your own productivity. 
• Collaborate across cyber – working closely with our penetration testing, cyber defence, and risk & compliance teams on scoping work, interpreting findings and turning them into meaningful actions. 

This isn’t a hands-on pen testing, SOC analyst or cyber engineering role - it’s an advisory role where your breadth of experience and communication skills will really shine. 
 

About You

You’re an experienced cyber security professional who enjoys joining the dots between technology, risk and people. You’re just as comfortable in a design review with architects as you are explaining a risk to a non-technical stakeholder.

You’re someone who loves partnering with teams across the business, asking thoughtful questions and turning complex challenges into practical, workable solutions. You’re comfortable operating with plenty of autonomy, yet you’re also the kind of team member who shares knowledge openly and jumps in to help others.

Your natural curiosity keeps you across emerging risks and trends, especially in areas like cloud, applications and AI. You value an environment where people collaborate openly, challenge ideas respectfully and genuinely support one another to do their best work.

You’ll be joining a tight-knit, supportive and innovative cyber advisory team that learns together, backs each other during busy periods and celebrates wins as a group.

What you’ll need

We’re keen to hear from you if you bring most of the following:

• 3 - 5 years cyber security experience across multiple domains (e.g. security operations, incident response, vulnerability management, threat hunting, or related areas). 
• Strong background in assessing and explaining cyber risk across applications, infrastructure and cloud environments.
• Confident understanding of areas like identity and access management, data security, network and endpoint security, and security in the SDLC. 
• Experience engaging senior and non-technical stakeholders, with clear written and verbal communication. 
• Familiarity with frameworks and obligations such as NIST, Australian privacy requirements and PCI (or the ability to quickly get up to speed). 
• Comfort working with and advising on AI technologies and their security implications. 
   

Relevant tertiary qualifications or equivalent industry experience in cyber security / technology are welcomed.
