Job Description:

At Cloudera, we empower people to transform complex data into clear and actionable insights. With as much data under management as the hyperscalers, we're the preferred data partner for the top companies in almost every industry. Powered by the relentless innovation of the open source community, Cloudera advances digital transformation for the world’s largest enterprises.

The Security Officer (SO) is responsible for the day-to-day management of protective security within Cloudera A/NZ to ensure compliance with the regulations and INFOSEC requirements of the Australian Federal and State Government agencies but with the potential to extend to the commercial sector. The SO reports to the A/NZ Vice President and operates under the delegated authority of the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to manage various security activities, including personnel security, physical security, and security training, report incidents and establish the governance framework to ensure Cloudera A/NZ complies with federal government industry security programs requirements, frameworks and memberships.
