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 Operations & Compliance Lead to lead and improve how security and compliance operate at Displayr.
This is a senior, hands-on role focused on both running core security and compliance operations and continuously improving how we work. Displayr already has strong foundations in place, including SOC 2 compliance, but there is significant opportunity to simplify processes, improve effectiveness, reduce manual overhead, and better leverage automation and AI.
You’ll work across access control, compliance, risk management, incident response, vendor reviews, and broader security operations — helping ensure our approach is scalable, practical, and aligned with how the business operates.
You’ll work closely with engineering and leadership to identify, prioritise, and address security risks in a way that balances security, usability, and speed. The role reports to the CEO and includes support from a direct report.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys improving systems, bringing structure to fragmented processes, and building pragmatic security practices that scale with the company.
What You’ll Do
Lead and improve security and compliance operations across the business
Own and evolve compliance activities (e.g. SOC 2) while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of underlying processes and controls
Identify opportunities to simplify, redesign, and automate workflows using AI and better operational systems
Improve how we manage:
- Access control and access reviews
- Incident response
- Vendor and security reviews
- Vulnerability management
- Risk tracking and remediation
Build scalable workflows and systems in tools like Jira and Notion to improve visibility, ownership, and follow-through
Work closely with engineering teams to identify security risks early and improve security outcomes across authentication, permissions, infrastructure, and data access
Create clear, practical policies and processes that reflect how the business actually operates
Improve operational metrics, SLAs, auditability, and reporting over time
Support and mentor a direct report while helping build a lean, highly effective security function
About You
- Experience owning or significantly improving security and compliance operations within a company environment
- Hands-on experience with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2
- Strong operational mindset — you enjoy improving systems, workflows, and processes, not just defining policies
- Experience using automation, tooling, or AI to improve efficiency and scale impact
- Comfortable balancing security, usability, and speed in a fast-moving engineering-led company
- Strong judgment and ability to prioritise based on real business risk
- Able to influence and collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams
- Demonstrated track record of improving security outcomes (e.g. implementing processes, improving SLAs, achieving compliance milestones)
- Comfortable being hands-on while also mentoring and supporting others
- Strong follow-through — you reliably drive work through to completion
- Clear communicator who can explain technical risks and trade-offs in practical business terms
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.
