Cyber Security Technical Lead (Hands-On)
Adelaide, SA | Permanent Full-Time

Talent International is proud to be supporting Journey Beyond in the search for an experienced Cyber Security Technical Lead to join their Adelaide-based technology team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly hands-on cyber security professional who wants broader ownership while remaining close to the technology. The role is expected to be approximately 80% hands-on, with technical capability and implementation experience prioritised over extensive people-management experience.

About Journey Beyond

Journey Beyond is one of Australia’s leading experiential tourism groups, bringing together a diverse portfolio of iconic travel and tourism experiences across rail journeys, touring, cruising, lodges, attractions and dining.

With operations spanning multiple locations and businesses, Journey Beyond provides a complex and varied technology environment where this role can have genuine Group-wide impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Hands-on implementation and improvement of cyber security controls and initiatives.
  • Manage vulnerability identification, remediation, threat detection and incident response.
  • Strengthen security across network, application and cloud environments.
  • Contribute to and execute the Group’s cyber security strategy and roadmap.
  • Undertake PCI DSS reviews, cyber risk assessments, security assurance and third-party security reviews.
  • Embed security-by-design across technology projects and platforms.
  • Provide cyber security advice and reporting to senior stakeholders.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to the existing Cyber Security team.

What We’re Looking For

We’re particularly interested in candidates who have progressed through a technical cyber security/security engineering background and still enjoy being hands-on.

You’ll ideally bring:

  • Strong hands-on experience across cyber security engineering and security operations.
  • Experience with vulnerability management and remediation, threat detection and incident response.
  • Strong understanding of network, application and cloud security, along with security architecture.
  • Experience personally implementing, configuring and improving security controls and technologies.
  • Knowledge of Essential Eight, ISO 27001 and NIST, with PCI DSS experience highly regarded.
  • Ability to communicate technical security risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to operate autonomously, take ownership and drive security improvements.
  • Previous team leadership or mentoring experience is advantageous; however, deep technical capability is the priority.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This isn’t a traditional management role where you’ll move away from the technology. Journey Beyond is specifically seeking someone who wants to remain technically hands-on while gaining broader ownership and influence across an enterprise cyber security function.

Based at Journey Beyond’s Head Office on North Terrace, Adelaide, you’ll have the opportunity to directly contribute to the implementation and ongoing maturity of cyber security across a unique and diverse group of businesses.

If you’re currently working as a Senior Cyber Security Engineer, Cyber Security Lead, Security Engineering Lead, Senior Security Consultant or hands-on Cyber Security Manager and are ready for broader ownership, we’d be keen to hear from you.

Senior Manager – Technology Solutions | CIO Succession Opportunity

Permanent | Torrensville, Adelaide | Executive Technology Leadership

Based in Adelaide (5 days in Office / No WFH)

An exciting opportunity has become available for an accomplished Senior Manager – Technology Solutions to join Drakes Supermarkets at their Head Office in Torrensville.

Reporting directly to the CIO, this is a senior technology leadership position with responsibility for leading key technology initiatives, managing and developing a high-performing team, and building strong relationships across the organisation and its technology partners.

Importantly, this role has been identified as a CIO succession opportunity. The successful candidate will act as Acting CIO during periods of CIO leave and will have the opportunity to develop broader executive-level technology leadership capability.

The Role

Drakes operates a diverse and fast-moving technology environment, with multiple major initiatives typically underway at any given time. These can span Point of Sale (POS), warehousing and supply chain, finance systems, BAU technology, vendor solutions, commercial contracts and technology transformation projects.

As Senior Manager – Technology Solutions, you will provide leadership across these initiatives while ensuring technology continues to effectively support the organisation’s operational and strategic priorities.

You will have 8 direct reports and work as a senior leader within a broader IT team of approximately 35 people.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Leading the delivery of multiple significant technology projects and initiatives.
  • Providing leadership, direction and mentorship to technology teams and developing internal capability.
  • Partnering with business leaders to understand operational requirements and translate them into practical technology solutions.
  • Managing senior stakeholders and building strong relationships across technology, operations, finance and other business functions.
  • Overseeing strategic technology vendors, commercial relationships, contracts and negotiations.
  • Providing leadership across technology operations and BAU priorities alongside major project delivery.
  • Supporting the CIO with technology strategy, planning, governance and key business decisions.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve technology capability, processes and service delivery.
  • Acting as the CIO when required, providing leadership and executive-level oversight of the technology function.

About You

This role will suit an experienced technology leader who combines a strong technical foundation with outstanding people and stakeholder leadership skills.

You may have started your career in infrastructure, applications, software, architecture, systems or another technical discipline before progressing into technology management and leadership. While you need to understand technology at a meaningful level, this is not a hands-on technical position.

You will ideally bring:

  • Significant experience leading technology teams in a complex commercial environment.
  • A strong technical background with the ability to confidently engage with technical specialists, vendors and business stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering large or business-critical technology projects.
  • Strong people leadership skills with a genuine focus on coaching, mentoring and developing staff.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building capability.
  • Experience managing technology vendors, contracts and commercial negotiations.
  • Exposure to enterprise applications, infrastructure and operational technology environments.
  • The ability to manage multiple competing projects and priorities.
  • A pragmatic, collaborative and can-do approach to solving business and technology challenges.
  • The credibility and leadership maturity to step into an Acting CIO capacity when required.

Experience within retail, FMCG, distribution, warehousing, supply chain or another high-volume operational environment would be highly regarded.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is more than a traditional technology management position. It provides the opportunity to join one of Australia’s well-established independent retailers, take ownership of significant business technology initiatives and work closely with the CIO while developing towards broader technology executive leadership.

For an experienced technology leader looking for their next step towards a CIO position, this represents a particularly compelling career opportunity.

Strong employee retention and culture: Drakes has a highly stable and loyal workforce, with 13% of employees having been with the business for more than 10 years. This reflects the organisation’s strong culture, employee commitment and long-term career opportunities.
