Head of Cloud & Product Security

Cremorne , Australia
full-time

AI overview

This role leads the strategic direction for cloud and product security enabling innovation while safeguarding sensitive information across a complex, cloud-native environment.

At SEEK, trust is foundational. Millions of people and organisations rely on our platforms every day, and keeping them safe—Always On, Always Safe—is core to our purpose of helping people live more fulfilling and productive working lives.

As Head of Cloud & Product Security, you’ll play a pivotal role in protecting that trust. You’ll lead a capability that enables innovation while safeguarding sensitive information across a complex, cloud-native environment—balancing pace, resilience and responsibility at scale.

Why This Role?

  • You’ll shape how security supports growth, not just how risk is reduced
  • You’ll influence platforms and products used by millions across APAC
  • You’ll operate with executive backing and real authority to act
  • You’ll lead a modern, collaborative security discipline embedded in delivery

This is a senior leadership role with reach—across technology, product, engineering and the broader business—where your decisions directly impact how SEEK operates and evolves.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Setting the strategic direction for cloud and product security across SEEK
  • Embedding security frameworks that enable fast, safe product delivery
  • Translating complex technical risk into clear business context for leaders
  • Growing and mentoring a high-impact security team with diverse expertise
  • Anticipating emerging threats and shaping proactive, future-ready controls
  • Partnering across engineering, product and cloud teams to build security in
  • Leading response and learning when incidents occur, strengthening resilience

This role is outcomes-focused: enabling innovation, protecting trust and continuously improving how security shows up across the organisation.

The Opportunity

This is a chance to build something that lasts: a mature, trusted cloud and product security capability that scales with SEEK’s ambition. You’ll shape roadmaps, partnerships and standards—and be recognised as a leader whose work enables innovation, not just compliance.

Your influence will extend well beyond security, helping define how a global technology marketplace operates responsibly in a rapidly changing world.

We’re interested in capability, mindset and impact, not rigid checklists. You may bring:

  • Experience leading security functions in complex, cloud-based environments
  • Deep knowledge of cloud and product security across multi-cloud ecosystems
  • A risk-based approach that balances protection with delivery velocity
  • The ability to influence through clarity, credibility and collaboration
  • Comfort operating at executive level and across technical communities
  • A people-first leadership style that grows capability and confidence and a passion for learning, evolution and staying ahead of emerging threats

Experience with AWS security architecture, DevSecOps, SSDLC practices and modern threat modelling will be valuable, as will exposure to distributed, fast-moving technology organisations.

At SEEK we offer:

  • Support of flexible working, including a mix of office and work from home days depending on your role.
  • SEEK is committed to operating sustainably and is preparing for the impacts of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon future, and is working to minimise its environmental impacts which includes a long-term emissions reduction target of net zero by FY2050
  • The opportunity to work from anywhere for up to 4 weeks per financial year
  • SEEKer Support, a confidential service that offers employees up to six sessions with a mental health professional of your choice
  • Free income protection insurance
