Career starter or switch-up – we want to hear from you.

If you want to embark on a rewarding, meaningful career protecting the community from cyber threats then you’re in the right place.

What is the CyberCX Academy?

The CyberCX Academy is an industry-leading entry-level program for cyber security specialists. It is a 6-month paid, permanent, full time employment opportunity designed to launch your career in cyber security. No prior experience is necessary.

The CyberCX Academy provides a cyber security pathway for university and Polytechnic graduates, school leavers, people seeking a career change or looking to re-enter the workforce.

The CyberCX Academy’s blend of formal and experiential training provides an innovative combination of academic and practical on-the-job learning, delivered by experienced CyberCX security practitioners inhouse.

Your training will include:

• 4 weeks of cyber fundamentals to provide baseline knowledge of cyber technology, domains, and technical skills.
• 10 weeks of tailored mentoring, shadowing and hands-on experience using cyber security tools, frameworks, and technologies.
• 12 weeks of working on client projects to hone in-demand industry skills in a practical environment.

Working at CyberCX

The CyberCX Academy is a full-time employment opportunity. Full-time, permanent employment at CyberCX is defined as 40 hours per week (Monday – Friday), with additional reasonable hours.

The CyberCX Academy program runs in the New Zealand cities of Christchurch, Wellington and Aukland and Australian cities of Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth. 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:

1. 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. Your advice will help protect organisations from cyber threats and empower them to thrive in a changing world.

2. 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 on the lookout for people who want to learn and grow in a constantly evolving industry that’s combating criminal activity. We’re more interested in who you are and where you want to take your career. If you’re new to this world, we’ll teach you everything you need to know on the go.

If you have qualifications in Cyber Security, Network Engineering and Computer Science, you might be a great fit, as well as those people from Law, Arts and Commerce or with a keen interest in the field. But you don’t need to have a degree or formal qualifications – we value experience in all its forms and take it into consideration during the recruitment process.
