Job Details

Established in 2012, Omni is an Australian-owned business focused on delivering innovative defence, and critical infrastructure solutions to further our national interest. Our locally based, expert teams deliver cutting-edge technology and pioneering solutions in support of Australia’s sovereign capability. We believe in our people and value the unique skills and experiences they bring. We also recognise the responsibility entrusted to us by our clients—and we support our employees accordingly. Our values of Respect, Trust, Agility and Humility guide everything we do, ensuring tailored solutions and long-term partnerships with our valued clients

The Role

In this position, you’ll take on a leading role managing Omni’s cloud security operations, ensuring our Microsoft 365 and Azure environment is monitored, protected, and continuously improving. You’ll work across Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and Purview to detect, investigate, and respond to threats, while maintaining strong visibility over security events and risks.

Your day-to-day will be hands-on and fast-paced, combining threat monitoring, incident response, and proactive security uplift. You’ll analyse alerts, lead investigations, and coordinate response activities, while also tuning detections, improving logging and visibility, and strengthening controls across identity, endpoints, and data.

This role goes beyond reactive operations. You’ll play a key part in maturing Omni’s security posture by identifying gaps, improving processes, and embedding security into how we operate. Working within a small, collaborative ICT team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape our SecOps capability, ensuring it is practical, effective, and aligned to compliance and business needs. If you enjoy a mix of operational security, investigation work, and continuous improvement, this role offers the chance to make a real impact.

You’re comfortable analysing alerts, leading investigations, and improving how security operations are run, with a focus on strengthening visibility, reducing noise, and enhancing response capability. You take pride in maintaining a well-monitored, well-controlled environment and are always looking for ways to mature security processes and uplift controls across identity, endpoints, and data.

• Ability to analyse alerts, identify threats, and coordinate effective response actions
