Information Security Operations Manager

Hello. We're Virgin Australia. We're the airline that's always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. We're on a mission to make flying better than 'nice'. And to do that, it takes a team of talented people who are passionate about customer experience, doing the right thing always, with a focus on safety in the air, on the ground and in our workplaces. A team who values real diversity and inclusion, in a big brand with big ambitions.

What you'll be doing :

Cyber threats evolve by the minute. That’s why this role is more than managing systems — it’s about anticipating risks, neutralising threats before they surface, and building a culture where security is instinctive.

As our Information Security Operations Manager, you’ll lead a skilled team of analysts, harness external intelligence partnerships, and orchestrate rapid responses to the incidents that matter most.

The key responsibilities of this role are to...

• Own detection engineering  — design and refine sophisticated detection logic across multiple data sources, establishing robust baselines while eliminating false positives.
• Lead technical incident response  — orchestrate complex investigations across hybrid environments, ensuring rapid containment and recovery to evidential standards.
• Master crisis communications  — manage high-stakes incidents with composure, providing CISO-ready communications that translate technical realities into business impact.
• Drive threat analysis  — conduct tactical and strategic analysis, mapping adversary TTPs to our attack surfaces and generating threat-informed defensive strategies.
• Manage key relationships  — build strong partnerships with internal stakeholders and hold MSSPs and technology partners accountable.
• Demonstrate SecOps mastery  — bring deep proficiency across SIEM, EDR, and XDR platforms, with expertise investigating WAFs, IAM, Azure Entra ID, Active Directory, AWS, Windows, and Linux environments.
• Deliver measurable programs  — apply structured program management to deliver security uplift initiatives with clear objectives and metrics.

You'll be great in this role if you...
