Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Security Architect to design, develop and maintain secure technology architectures across a complex, evolving environment. You will provide expert guidance on security strategy, architecture principles and risk management, ensuring that applications, infrastructure, networks, cloud services and data platforms are designed and operated in line with recognised security standards. Working closely with technology, engineering, product and risk teams, you will translate business and technical requirements into practical, resilient security solutions.
Your responsibilities will include defining security architecture patterns and reference designs; reviewing proposed solutions and identifying security risks; contributing to threat modelling, vulnerability management and secure-by-design practices; and advising on identity and access management, encryption, network security, endpoint protection, monitoring and incident response capabilities. You will support the development of security policies, standards and design assurance processes, while helping teams interpret and apply regulatory, contractual and industry requirements. The role will also involve assessing emerging technologies, supporting cloud adoption and transformation initiatives, and presenting recommendations and risk-based decisions to technical and senior stakeholders.
You will bring substantial experience in security architecture, cyber security engineering or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of enterprise and cloud security principles. Experience with major cloud platforms, zero-trust architecture, secure software development, infrastructure security and security governance would be highly valuable. Professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, CISM or equivalent are desirable. You should be confident working across technical and non-technical audiences, able to influence without direct authority, and skilled at communicating complex risks clearly. A pragmatic, analytical approach, strong stakeholder-management skills and a commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
