Cyber Business Analyst

At NCS Australia, we believe in doing technology services better. Our commitment to quality, focus on people, and willingness to challenge traditional thinking set us apart. Our team brings this belief to life by partnering with our clients and communities to make tomorrow together.

We are committed to creating an environment that prioritises innovation, collaboration, and purposeful work. Our diverse team is empowered to make a meaningful impact with curiosity, creativity and resilience to shape better outcomes. Join us and accept the challenge of creating a better tomorrow.

We’re looking for a Cyber Business Analyst who will be at the forefront of a large-scale, high-priority cybersecurity program, acting as the crucial bridge between senior business stakeholders and NCS's technical delivery teams.

In this key client-facing role, you will lead workshops to elicit, analyse, and document business and functional requirements for complex cybersecurity initiatives. You will be responsible for translating complex security concepts, risks, and controls into clear user stories, process maps (As-Is/To-Be), and solution design documents.

A core part of your success will be managing a wide range of stakeholders, from C-level executives to technical engineers, ensuring solutions are fit-for-purpose. You will support the project delivery team in defining scope, managing backlogs, and defining acceptance criteria within an Agile framework.

• Proven experience in a similar role as a Business Analyst, ideally from a technology consultancy or a large, complex enterprise environment.
• Demonstrable experience working on dedicated cybersecurity projects (e.g., Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC), Identity & Access Management (IAM), Security Operations, Network Security, or Threat Management).
• Exceptional client-facing and stakeholder management skills, with the credibility and polish to engage senior executives and technical experts.
• Strong practical knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies (JIRA, Confluence) and a solid understanding of common security frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, ASD Essential Eight).
• Highly desirable experience in environments using SIEM, SOAR, or UEBA platforms (e.g., Devo, Trustwave) and Advanced Threat/Endpoint tools (e.g., FireEye/Trellix, CrowdStrike).
• Highly desirable experience working on projects involving Network Security/SASE (e.g., Palo Alto Networks, Cisco Secure), Application Delivery Controllers (e.g., F5), or DDoS mitigation (e.g., Akamai).
• Familiarity with Cloud-Native Security principles and platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is a significant advantage.
