Design, Build, Defend, Advise

You’ve spent years in the trenches—designing secure environments, guiding clients through risk, and implementing solutions that actually work. You know your frameworks, you speak fluent NIST and ISO, and you’re just as comfortable in a boardroom as you are in a firewall config.

Now it’s time to join a team that backs your expertise, values your input, and gives you the space to shape security standards across a diverse client base.

We’re First Focus—Australia’s #1 MSP (Cloud Tango says so, 8 years straight), and we’re not slowing down. With 330+ technical pros across Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines, we’re scaling fast and doubling down on security. This isn’t a siloed role—it’s embedded in a growing, collaborative team that’s shaping how midmarket clients think about risk, resilience, and real-world protection. Based in Mascot, you’ll be at the heart of it—designing, building, and delivering security that’s not just smart, but scalable, practical, and built to last.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

Running security assessments that don’t just tick boxes—they actually make clients safer

Leading pre-sales chats with charm and precision—translating risk into solutions that sell themselves

Rolling up your sleeves to build and configure security tech (because you don’t just talk the talk)

Staying sharp on standards, frameworks, and threats—NIST CSF, ISO27001, ISO42001, ACSC Essential Eight, and whatever’s lurking in the shadows

Raising the bar for SME and midmarket security—one smart solution, one confident client at a time

Requirements

Interpersonal, presentation, and writing skills so sharp you can explain risk to anyone—no jargon, no panic

Real-world experience implementing NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or any other frameworks that actually work outside a textbook in the SME space

Real-world experience around AI governance a bonus

Deep security knowledge across networks, apps, OS, firewalls, VPNs, databases, email, and more—because threats don’t stick to one layer

A pragmatic approach to risk—you don’t just identify problems, you help fix them

Audit and compliance experience (extra kudos if you’ve been on the audit side of the table)

At least one heavyweight cert: CISSP, SSCP, CCSP, CISM, CISA —show us your stripes

MSP or MSSP experience? That’s pure gold. If you’ve got it, flaunt it

Benefits

💰 Up to $150k package + benefits for the right mix of skills and values

🕰️ Flexible working arrangements to support real work-life balance

📚 10 paid study days a year, exam fees covered, and pay rises for certs

🚀 FastTrack mentoring program for personal and professional growth

🌏 MAD (Making A Difference) Council—equality, charity, and sustainability

⚡ Tesla company car option (yes, really—conditions apply)

🎉 Regular social events and a team culture built on trust, curiosity, and support

🧘 Free access to Uprise—1:1 coaching with qualified psychologists or counsellors

If you’re ready to design, build, and defend with a team that values your expertise—apply now.
