The Role:
The MQ-4C (Triton Unmanned Aircraft System) team in Edinburgh (SA) is expanding!
Northrop Grumman Australia is actively seeking a Cyber Security Specialist GRC, who will sit at the centre of how the Triton systems are approved, governed and trusted.
You’ll own the process that allows systems to operate, assessing risk, building the security case, and working through Defence authorisation pathways to achieve and maintain ATO.
Triton is a first-of-type ISR platform for the ADF, operating across complex systems and classifications. That means cyber security isn’t a tick-box, it needs to be clearly defined, documented and defensible.
Don’t worry, you won’t be writing policy in isolation. You’ll work closely with engineers and stakeholders to understand how systems actually operate, then translate that into structured, audit-ready security artefacts that stand up to scrutiny.
This role is Adelaide-based (RAAF Edinburgh). Australian Citizenship and NV1 clearance is required to be considered.
Key Responsibilities
You’ll shape how cyber risk is understood, documented and accepted, ensuring systems are approved to operate, and stay that way.
About You
You’re structured and analytical. You like turning complex systems into something clear, defensible and well-documented.
