Strong communication, stakeholder management, analytical and influencing skills are expected.

The successful candidate will be expected to provide trusted advice, identify control weaknesses, support remediation and promote a mature, risk-aware security culture.
Qantas Airways Limited is Australia’s national airline and one of the world’s oldest continuously operating airlines. Founded in 1920, the Qantas Group serves domestic and international destinations through brands including Qantas and Jetstar. Its operations span passenger travel, freight, loyalty services, engineering, airports and aviation technology. The company employs a large workforce across Australia and overseas, with its main corporate presence in Sydney. As a highly regulated airline, Qantas places strong emphasis on safety, operational reliability, customer service, technology and resilience. Cyber security is increasingly important to protecting aircraft operations, customer information, payment systems and critical business infrastructure. Employees typically work in a professional, safety-focused environment with opportunities to collaborate across technology, corporate and operational teams. Benefits may include staff travel, flexible working arrangements, professional development and access to airline-related employee programs, depending on the position and employment conditions.
Australia offers opportunities in aviation, cyber security, technology, engineering, healthcare, construction, education, finance and professional services. Major employment hubs include Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra, while Adelaide and regional centres can offer lower living costs and growing industries. Australian workplace culture is generally practical, collaborative and reasonably informal, with strong attention to safety, inclusion and work-life balance. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to coastal, rural and outdoor communities; housing costs are high in Sydney and Melbourne. Skilled workers may explore employer-sponsored visas, the Skilled Independent visa, state-nominated pathways or temporary graduate options, depending on their occupation, qualifications and experience. Visa rules change, so candidates should check the Australian Department of Home Affairs website. Relocation planning should include professional recognition, health insurance, tax registration, accommodation, banking and transport. Australia’s distance from other countries can make international travel expensive, but its multicultural communities and strong public services support long-term settlement.
