The opportunity
As the Cyber Awareness Advisor, you'll play a key role in building a strong cyber‐resilient culture across the organisation. You'll design, deliver and continuously improve a cyber security and resilience awareness programme that helps people make safer decisions every day, bridging the gap between the technical cyber security team, and business and research areas.
High‐level duties include:
* Maintain and continuously improve organisational awareness and capability‐building content related to cyber security and digital resilience, ensuring it aligns with broader IMT priorities.
* Design and deliver regular (e.g., monthly), themed awareness and engagement initiatives in line with the Cyber for CSIRO program outcomes to support behaviour change and capability uplift across the organisation.
* Develop and manage an organisation‐wide awareness and change calendar aligned to risk themes, business priorities, IMT initiatives, including the Cyber for CSIRO program and key organisational events.
* Coordinate planning, approvals and delivery with key stakeholders (e.g., IMT teams, Communications, HR/L&D and unit representatives) to ensure messaging is consistent and timely.
* Tailor awareness content and delivery approaches for different audiences (e.g., leaders, corporate teams, and research/operational environments).
* Plan and deliver a balanced mix of awareness activities across appropriate channels (e.g., Learning Management System (LMS), presentations, webinars, campaigns, simulations and leader toolkits) to maintain engagement and minimise fatigue.
* Define success measures for campaigns and use insights (metrics, incident trends and stakeholder feedback) to continuously improve the awareness calendar and content.
* Present tailored cyber security and resilience awareness sessions to diverse business and research units.
