Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

Base Salary: $300,000+ Superannuation
Sydney HQ | Hybrid | Lead Internal Security and External Growth

About Cybertify

Cybertify is a cybersecurity consulting firm focused on regulated sectors: financial services, superannuation, legal, aged care, healthcare, SaaS, and government-aligned organisations. Our clients demand speed, trust, and board-level credibility. We deliver precisely that through a high-performance consulting model.

We are seeking an elite Chief Information Security Officer to lead our internal security, manage our consulting teams, influence revenue, and represent Cybertify as the most senior technical authority in the business.

About the Role

This is not a standard CISO role. This position is designed for a recognised industry leader. Someone with established authority, proven influence, and a visible presence in the cybersecurity, compliance, and regulatory space.

You will not be maintaining the status quo or inheriting legacy systems. You will be shaping Cybertify’s security posture, delivery standards, and external credibility from the ground up.

This role requires someone who is already respected in the market, regularly consulted by peers, and capable of engaging confidently with boards, regulators, and enterprise decision-makers. It is suited to high-impact professionals who have led from the front, contributed to national or sector-specific cybersecurity maturity, and are now looking to step into a position of firm-wide influence, commercial visibility, and strategic control.

You will be accountable for Cybertify’s:

Internal information security program and ISMS

External credibility and boardroom representation

Pre-sales and enterprise engagement strategy

Delivery consistency and leadership of the Elite Cyber Squad

You will work directly with the CEO and operate as the firm’s senior-most authority across security, GRC frameworks, client trust, and team leadership.
