Play a key role in cyber security governance, change oversight and service delivery.

Your new company
This is an exclusive opportunity to join a large and complex federal government department with a national remit and a strong focus on protecting critical information and services. Operating in a highly regulated environment, the organisation plays a key role in supporting Australia's economic, environmental and security objectives. This role is Canberra-based and requires an NV1 security clearance. The initial contract runs through to June 2027, with the potential for a further 12-month extension.

Your new role

As a Cyber Security Coordinator, you will support the governance and operational oversight of cyber security activities across the department's technology environment. This role sits at the intersection of cyber operations, service management and change governance, ensuring that security considerations are consistently applied across both production and non production environments.

You will play a key role in reviewing and coordinating change requests from a cyber security perspective, assessing both technical and non technical impacts, and supporting the management of service delivery through tools such as ServiceNow. The position also involves contributing to managed vendor performance reviews and supporting the resolution of operational issues, working closely with internal cyber teams, IT support functions and external providers.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who understands cyber operations but prefers a coordination, assurance and stakeholder focused role rather than hands on incident response.

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful, you will have experience in a cyber security, ICT security or service management environment, ideally within government or a highly regulated organisation. You will be confident reviewing changes and assessing risk, and comfortable engaging with both technical and non technical stakeholders.

You will also bring:

• Experience reviewing and coordinating change requests, with an understanding of cyber security impacts
• Exposure to ITIL aligned processes including change, incident and problem management
• Experience working with ticketing platforms such as ServiceNow
• Ability to assess technical and non technical changes across infrastructure or applications
• Understanding of cyber security principles across networks, access, and infrastructure environments
• Experience supporting vendor or managed service performance reviews is highly regarded
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage across multiple stakeholder groups
• NV1 security clearance and the ability to work onsite in Canberra

What you'll get in return

You'll secure a long term contract opportunity within a federal government cyber team, working in an environment where security governance and operational coordination are critical to success. This role offers strong exposure to enterprise scale cyber processes, vendor engagement and change governance.

You will also receive:

• A competitive hourly contract rate
• Long‑term extension potential
• The opportunity to deepen your experience across cyber governance, change and service coordination
• Ongoing support from a dedicated Hays Technology consultant
