Don't Meet Every Requirement?

That's okay.

Research shows that some talented people are less likely to apply for a role unless they meet every listed criterion. We're interested in potential as well as experience. If you're excited about this opportunity and believe you can contribute, we'd encourage you to apply even if your background doesn't align perfectly with every requirement.

Experience That Would Be Beneficial

We recognise expertise can be developed through many career paths. Experience in any of the following areas would be valuable:

• Security architecture and secure solution design.
• Applying Secure by Design principles within technology, engineering or digital programmes.
• Working within Defence or with Defence industry partners.
• Cyber security governance, risk and compliance.
• Security assurance.
• Cloud security and modern digital platforms.
• DevSecOps and Agile delivery environments.
• Identity and access management.
• Enterprise security technologies and controls.
• Defence security policies, standards and frameworks.

Relevant certifications are welcome but are not essential. We value practical experience, a willingness to learn and a collaborative mindset just as highly.
