Cyber Security Analyst (Analytics) – Data & Email Security
About the Role
We are looking for a technically sharp and strategically minded Cyber Analyst to join the Data & Email Security team. This is a hands‐on analytics and delivery role working across a portfolio of high‐impact data security initiatives including Data Loss Prevention (DLP), controls uplift, and data security posture management.
You'll work at the intersection of data analytics and cyber security — turning security data into actionable insights, building dashboards that drive decision‐making, and configuring controls that protect Optus's data assets at scale.
What You'll Do
* Build and maintain Power BI dashboards to report on DLP events, policy violations, and security control effectiveness.
* Develop and maintain data pipelines, queries, and automation to support security analytics and reporting.
* Analyse large datasets to surface trends, anomalies, and risk indicators across the data security portfolio.
* Deliver across active DLP and data security controls uplift initiatives.
* Translate complex security requirements into clear, data‐driven insights and scalable technical solutions.
* Proactively identify control gaps through data analysis and propose pragmatic, risk‐based remediation.
* Produce high‐quality technical documentation — dashboards, runbooks, design artefacts, and control evidence.
What You'll Bring
Technical Skills
* Proficiency in Python and SQL for data analysis, automation, and security use cases.
* Hands‐on experience with Databricks or similar data platforms.
* Advanced Power BI skills — building security‐focused dashboards, data models, and executive reporting.
* Solid understanding of System Development Lifecycle (SDLC) with an engineering mindset.
* Working knowledge of Microsoft Purview (data classification, DLP policies, analytics).
* Exposure to Zscaler, web proxies, and network security controls.
Cyber & Security Knowledge
* Foundational to intermediate knowledge of cyber security principles, frameworks, and risk concepts.
* Understanding of data security controls — DLP, access controls, classification, and data governance.
* Ability to assess and articulate cyber risk in business terms.
Ways of Working
* Proactive self‐starter who identifies problems before they escalate.
* Strategic thinker who balances long‐term outcomes with near‐term delivery.
* Strong written communication and documentation discipline — you leave things better than you found them.
* Collaborative team player who can work across technical and non‐technical stakeholders.
Note: Must have valid Australian work Authorization.
