Security Architect IV
We are seeking an experienced Security Architect IV to define and advance enterprise security architecture across complex technology environments. In this senior role, you will develop secure, scalable architecture strategies that align business objectives with risk management, regulatory obligations, and industry best practices. You will assess existing platforms and proposed solutions, identify vulnerabilities and control gaps, and provide practical recommendations that strengthen the organisation’s overall security posture.
Key responsibilities include establishing security architecture principles, standards, reference models, and design patterns; reviewing technology, cloud, application, data, network, and infrastructure designs; and ensuring security requirements are embedded throughout the solution lifecycle. You will lead threat modelling, risk assessments, architecture reviews, and control validation activities, translating technical findings into clear guidance for technical and executive stakeholders. The role will also involve partnering with engineering, operations, governance, risk, and compliance teams to support secure transformation initiatives, influence design decisions, and resolve complex security challenges. You may also contribute to incident response planning, security roadmaps, policy development, and the evaluation of emerging technologies.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security architecture, enterprise architecture, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of modern cybersecurity principles and defensive technologies. Demonstrable expertise across cloud security, identity and access management, network security, application security, data protection, encryption, and security operations is required. Experience with major security frameworks and standards, such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, or equivalent, is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, or comparable credentials, are advantageous. You will be expected to communicate complex concepts clearly, influence stakeholders at all levels, manage competing priorities, and exercise sound judgement when addressing high-impact risks. A collaborative, strategic mindset and the ability to deliver pragmatic, business-focused security outcomes are essential.
