Security Service Senior Specialist (AppSec & Pen Test)

If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you’ve likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We’re now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking. 

For us, these are exciting times. There’s a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours

We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we’ve been doing it for over 170 years. 

If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people. 

How You'll Make an Impact
As our Security Service Senior Specialist, you'll take complete ownership of AMP's application security framework, secure developer community, penetration testing program and vulnerability management processes. You'll design and implement the end-to-end vulnerability management lifecycle, from identification and assessment through to remediation governance, ensuring our applications remain resilient against evolving threats. Your application security expertise will be instrumental in embedding security controls directly into our development processes, while your penetration testing leadership will proactively identify and eliminate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. You'll work on the strategic roadmap for these critical security services, establishing the methodologies, tools and standards that protect millions of customers' financial data.

What You'll Bring to the Role
You're an application security specialist with deep expertise in application security, proven penetration testing capabilities and vulnerability management processes. With  demonstrated experience  in security ideally with hands-on penetration testing or application security roles, you understand the intricacies of securing applications throughout their lifecycle. Your experience spans vulnerability scanning technologies, security testing methodologies and remediation governance frameworks - you've not just used these tools, but you've designed and owned the processes that make them effective. Your background in financial services or highly regulated environments means you can navigate complex compliance requirements while implementing practical security solutions. You're equally comfortable conducting technical penetration tests, architecting vulnerability management workflows, and communicating security risks to both technical teams and business stakeholders. Most importantly, you have the process ownership mindset to take full accountability for service delivery and continuous improvement of security capabilities.

You’ll thrive here if…

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you’ll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.

Because we run lean, you’ll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you’ll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.

If you’re someone that can hold their own, you’ll find AMP quite liberating.
