Working at CyberCX
The CyberCX Academy is a full-time, ongoing employment opportunity. Full-time, ongoing employment at CyberCX is defined as 38 hours per week (Monday - Friday), with additional reasonable hours to be worked in order to fulfill role duties and that of CyberCX as the company.
The CyberCX Academy program runs in the Australian cities of Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth, and in the New Zealand cities of Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.
Following the completion of the initial Academy training, CyberCX is proud to offer its employees the opportunity to work under a hybrid workforce model. This means you can work from the office and from your own home, providing the flexibility to achieve professional goals whilst maintaining a balanced life outside of work.
The CyberCX Academy is not able to employ Academy Associates in a fully remote capacity. To be considered you will be required to be in an office, on-site for at least the first 4 weeks of the program to align with structured learning events, and to help build your professional network, and to work in the office on a periodic basis.
The CyberCX Academy offers two pathways:
The consulting pathway : If you thrive on client-facing relationships, tech talk and advice. You'll be working with our clients to identify their security needs and provide advice on cyber security best practice. The technical pathway : If you are interested in code and tech tools. You might be developing and implementing security solutions, testing solutions, monitoring client systems, providing advice on system vulnerabilities, or investigating real cyber incidents. Who are we looking for?
You don't need to be a cyber expert; we're looking for people who want to learn and grow in a constantly evolving industry. If you have qualifications in Cyber Security, Network Engineering, or Computer Science, you might be a great fit, or those who have previously studied Law, Arts, or Commerce. But you don't need to have a degree or formal qualifications – we value experience in all its forms.

Our culture of celebration and recognition puts our people first, with generous health and wellbeing initiatives for the whole family, flexible ways of working, extra leave benefits, and career development initiatives to help you be the best you can be.
