Job Description
About Us
At Displayr, our mission is to make it easier for everyone to find and share the stories in their data. We do this by creating AI-driven software that makes it easy to do all aspects of data analysis and reporting, from simple tables through to machine learning, PowerPoint automation to online dashboards.
As a bootstrapped company with no corporate debt or external advisors, we’ve grown steadily over ten years from 10 to over 95 team members, serving 1,800+ clients, including industry leaders like Meta and Amazon. We’ve earned recognition as a Great Place to Work for four years in a row and ranked 1st in ANZ’s Best Tech Companies 2023.
We are the proud winners of Work180 Equitable Workplace Awards for flexible working in both 2023 and 2024.
With our head office in Sydney and teams across Australia, New Zealand, North America, and the UK, we’re shaping the future of data storytelling—join us as we make data more accessible, insightful, and actionable.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Security and Compliance Officer to design, operate, and continuously improve our security systems. This is not a passive or purely advisory role — you’ll own how security actually works at Displayr.
Your mission is to ensure risks are avoided, identified, owned, prioritised, and acted on — in a way that is efficient, low-friction, and aligned with how the business really operates.
This role is ideal for someone who is process-driven, proactive, and comfortable pushing others to get things done. You’ll work closely with engineering and leadership, setting clear guardrails while ensuring security doesn’t slow the company down.
What You’ll Do
Own and improve our approach to access control, ensuring only the right people have the right access to systems and data
Drive and maintain compliance frameworks (e.g. SOC 2), ensuring we meet requirements in a practical, low-overhead way
Build and run a prioritised risk management system, clearly linking risks to real business impact
Design and operate key security processes, including:
- Access reviews
- Incident response
- Vendor and security reviews
- Vulnerability management
Continuously identify, assess, prioritise, and track security risks and weaknesses across our systems
Evaluate technical designs and identify security risks (e.g. auth, permissions, infrastructure, data access)
Ensure all decisions are documented, auditable, and easy to understand
Create clear, practical policies that reflect how we actually work
Build systems (e.g. in Jira/Notion) that ensure work is tracked, owned, and completed
Use AI tools to improve efficiency, while ensuring appropriate guardrails and controls are in place
Establish and improve SLAs and measurable security outcomes over time
About You
- 1+ years in security or a closely related role (we care more about aptitude than years of experience)
- Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent)
- Highly efficient with strong follow-through — things don’t stall around you
- Comfortable pushing others, escalating when needed, and not avoiding difficult conversations
- A systems thinker — you don’t patch problems, you build coherent systems that solve them end-to-end
- Experience using tools like Jira to manage workflows, build boards, and automate processes
- Able to identify real security risks and clearly explain their impact in business terms
- Experience contributing to or owning compliance frameworks (e.g. SOC 2) is highly regarded
- Evidence of improving security outcomes (e.g. implementing processes, improving SLAs, achieving compliance milestones)
- Comfortable working with engineers and reviewing technical designs
- Already using AI tools to work more efficiently
Why Displayr?
At Displayr, you’re more than just a cog in a machine—you’re a key player driving meaningful change. Your decisions will have tangible impacts, and you’ll tackle big, thorny problems that challenge and showcase your exceptional technical skills.
Here’s why you’ll thrive with us:
- Innovative and evidence-driven—Ideas are driven by data, not hierarchy.
- High-trust, high-autonomy culture—Enjoy the freedom to do your best work with flexibility and support.
- Global reach—As part of an international company with offices in Sydney, Chicago, and London, your contributions will have a worldwide impact.
- Stable and growing—We’re a bootstrapped, growing company with a strong foundation.
We also offer a range of benefits to support your well-being and professional growth:
- Competitive salary that recognizes your expertise and contributions.
- Share options—be part of our success as we grow.
- 14 weeks of paid parental leave, supporting you during life’s important moments.
- A relaxed, high-trust culture that values high performance and empowers you to do your best work.
- Flexible working hours to help you balance life and work.
- $2,000 learning allowance to invest in your professional growth.
- Access to an Employee Assistance Program, providing support when you need it.
- A hybrid work environment—enjoy the flexibility of working from home and our Pyrmont office, complete with perks like a pool and a tennis court.
How to Apply
Along with your resume, please include a short cover letter (a few paragraphs is fine).
We’re less focused on years of experience and more interested in how you think and operate. Use your cover letter to tell us about a time you took ownership of a problem and saw it through to completion, and how you approach balancing security with speed and low friction.
We believe that a workplace that welcomes a variety of perspectives, experiences and backgrounds is important and will only push us to be better. We never discriminate on the basis of gender, age, ethnic background, disability status, religion, or sexual orientation.
