Trainee (Good) Assessor — (ISO/IEC 27001 & ISO/IEC 42001)

Remote, anywhere in Australia · Full-time or a three or four-day week · Salary negotiable based on experience, with a clear scale-up plan as you're signed off

Somewhere along the way, getting certified started to feel like a root canal. People take sick days. Teams go quiet. The auditor shows up and everyone just wants it over.

We think that's a shame. Underneath every audit is something worth celebrating: a business trying to get better, and a team willing to look honestly at their own work.

That's why we started A Good Certification Group: we believed an audit could feel completely different, not something done to a business, but with it.

Talani and I run this company with a straightforward mission: to prove that certification can be a force for good, and we're looking for someone to join us.

Who we are

We're the world's first B Corp certified, JAS-ANZ accredited ISO certification body, auditing and certifying organisations across the globe against ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, 27701 and 42001. We exist to improve the organisations we work with, the people inside them, and the communities we all live in. Through our Certified with Impact approach, 5% of our revenue goes into The Good Fund, backing community, healthcare and wellbeing initiatives.

We're one of the few (literally one of four) certification bodies in the world accredited by JAS-ANZ to certify organisations to ISO/IEC 42001, the AI management system standard, so we're looking for our next Good Assessor, with an IT background, for us to train to audit some of the coolest companies and master both ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001.

Why now

It's an exciting time to join, and you'd be coming in early.



We're a small team building one of the most innovative certification bodies around, in an industry that hasn't changed much in decades. The way we audit, the way we report, the way we price, the way we give back: we've rebuilt all of it, and we're not done. Join now and you help shape how it works, rather than inheriting how it's always been done.

The kind of audit we deliver

We're not here to catch anyone out. We're collaborators: we have real conversations, work out what's working and what isn't, and leave people with clear, practical findings and opportunities for improvement in plain language. Not a 100-page AI generated report nobody reads. Our clients deserve an assessor who's genuinely interested in their business, not someone reading from a checklist and watching the clock.

And the clients are the best part. Many are among the most exciting, fast-moving companies around: AI-native startups, scale-ups shipping AI products worldwide, and established businesses rebuilding themselves around AI. You'll be in the room while they work out how to do it properly, seeing how the best of them run before most people have heard of them. There aren't many jobs that put you at the front of AI-native work without asking you to write the code.

How the training works

For the right person, we'll pay for your lead auditor course if you don't already have it. Then you'll shadow our senior assessors (including our CEO,



who still leads audits) for around 20 audit days, learning our method, our reporting style and how a "Good Audit" runs from start to finish (opening to closing meeting)

Once you're signed off as an Assessor, you'll run surveillance audits and join certification audit teams. From there it's Lead Assessor for ISO 27001, then ISO 42001 as your second scheme. How quick you get there is mostly up to you.

What we're looking for

We're genuinely excited to tell you about a job most people don't know exists (but is actually really cool...well, we think so).

We're after a Trainee Assessor for information security (ISO 27001) and AI management systems (ISO 42001). Ideally you've spent a few years in an IT role and you're ready for a different kind of challenge, but we're really after more than a CV. We want a good human who likes to challenge themselves, is keen to keep developing, and above all loves connecting with people.

Emotional intelligence matters here. Audits can be stressful and anxiety-inducing, and it's our job to recognise that and put people at ease. We also love nerding out, so if spending an hour talking with a client about their technical controls or how they are responsibly using AI sounds like a good time, we're excited to meet you.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

- two to four years in IT, ideally with two where security was part of the job. Sysadmin, MSP engineer, cloud or infrastructure engineer, IT manager, security analyst: all count.
- Can explain security to a non-technical person without making them feel small.
- Lead with curiosity, take feedback well, and love to learn.
- Write clearly and with an eye for detail. Your repo
