Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Security Architect to define and strengthen the security architecture across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will develop secure-by-design principles, establish architectural standards, and provide strategic guidance across infrastructure, applications, cloud platforms, data, and emerging technologies. You will work closely with engineering, technology, risk, compliance, and business stakeholders to ensure security is embedded throughout the design, delivery, and operation of services.
Your responsibilities will include assessing current and proposed architectures, identifying security risks, and recommending practical, proportionate controls. You will create and maintain security architecture patterns, reference designs, threat models, and technical standards, while supporting solution reviews and major transformation programmes. You will also contribute to identity and access management, network security, cloud security, application security, data protection, vulnerability management, and resilience initiatives. The role will involve evaluating new technologies and suppliers, supporting risk and compliance assessments, and helping define remediation plans where gaps are identified. You will communicate complex security matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences and help build a consistent security culture across delivery teams.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security architecture, cyber security engineering, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise security principles and architecture frameworks. Practical experience designing secure solutions across on-premises and cloud environments is essential, along with knowledge of modern identity models, zero-trust principles, encryption, networking, operating systems, application development, and security monitoring. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, TOGAF, CCSP, or equivalent are desirable. You should be analytical, collaborative, and confident influencing decisions at all levels, with the ability to balance security requirements against usability, cost, delivery timelines, and business objectives.
