About ATOM

Established in 2015 and jointly owned by BP Australia and UGL Limited, ATOM is one of Australia’s largest fuels terminal operators, managing a national network of 20 terminal facilities. Our operations are underpinned by a strong focus on safety, reliability and governance, supported by a growing and evolving IT environment. As the business continues to expand, the importance of effective and consistent cybersecurity practices across all systems, assets and third party providers is critical. We value Respect, Integrity & Accountability, Teamwork, Simplicity, and Customer Focus, and we’re looking for someone who shares these values.

About the Role

The IT Security Lead plays a key role in supporting ATOM’s day to day security operations while also contributing to longer term improvements in how security is managed across the organisation. This role has a strong operational focus, including monitoring, alert triage, incident response and maintaining core security controls. You will work closely with internal IT teams and external service providers to ensure security issues are identified, investigated, and resolved effectively, with appropriate escalation where required.

In addition to operational responsibilities, the role contributes to strengthening security practices across the business. This includes supporting vulnerability management, assisting with audits and compliance activities, maintaining policies and documentation, and contributing to initiatives such as system hardening, patching uplift and improved monitoring capability.

The role also provides practical guidance to business stakeholders, helping to ensure security requirements are understood and applied in a way that is fit for purpose and aligned to operational needs. You will play a part in promoting awareness and supporting a consistent and pragmatic approach to security risk management across the organisation. This position will suit someone who is comfortable working in a hands on environment, can manage competing priorities, and is able to work effectively across a mix of internal teams and external partners in a managed service model.

About You
