Are you an experienced Security Architect with a strong Defence and DISP background?

This is an opportunity to play a critical role in a dedicated security program supporting highly sensitive environments. You’ll help design and embed security architectures aligned to DISP and ISM requirements, supporting accreditation readiness within a complex, mission-critical setting.

About the Role:

Joining a specialist security program within a large, enterprise environment, you’ll act as a key security architecture authority across a defined, high-assurance platform. Working closely with Enterprise Architecture, program leadership, and security SMEs, you’ll translate Defence security requirements into practical, defensible architectures that support delivery outcomes.
 
In this role, you will:

• Design and uplift security architectures aligned to DISP and ISM Protected requirements;

• Lead security architecture inputs across a dedicated, program-based environment;

• Perform gap assessments against ISM controls and define remediation roadmaps;

• Produce accreditation-ready artefacts including HLDs, SLDs, threat models and security patterns;

• Collaborate closely with Enterprise Architects, program leadership and security SMEs;

• Support DISP accreditation activities from an ICT and architecture perspective; and

• Embed secure-by-design and zero-trust principles into solution design.

About You:

• Current NV1 clearance (mandatory);

• Proven experience delivering security architecture within Defence, Federal Government or Defence-aligned environments;

• Strong working knowledge of DISP, ISM controls, and IRAP-style accreditation processes;

• Experience translating security controls into pragmatic, implementable architectures;

• Confidence operating in program-based delivery environments with senior stakeholders; and

• Exposure to complex enterprise platforms (e.g. telecommunications or large integrated systems) is advantageous but not essential.

This is a contract opportunity, daily rate negotiable, depending on prior skills and experience. This will be a 12-month contract initially with an opportunity to extend. You’ll work within a mature security and architecture landscape on work that is nationally significant and technically challenging.
