Position Description
Recognised as one of the world’s largest IT and business consulting firms, CGI has offices across Australia, supporting local public and private sector clients to solve real business problems.
We are looking for a Security Analyst to join our shift-based Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Melbourne.

We’re growing our team and looking for individuals ready to build practical cybersecurity experience and grow with us.
This role is ideal for someone early in their cybersecurity journey who is looking to build hands-on skills and progress into more specialised areas whether in threat intelligence, automation, incident response or cloud security.
You will gain broad exposure to tools, technologies and real-world incidents, with support from experienced analysts and clear pathways to grow your career in cyber.

Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you’ll reach your full potential because…
You are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life. That’s why we call ourselves CGI Partners rather than employees. We benefit from our collective success and actively shape our company’s strategy and direction.
Your work creates value. You’ll develop innovative solutions and build relationships with teammates and clients while accessing global capabilities to scale your ideas, embrace new opportunities, and benefit from expansive industry and technology expertise.
You’ll shape your career by joining a company built to grow and last. You’ll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons.
