Senior Security Architect
We are seeking a Senior Security Architect to define and advance enterprise security architecture across a complex, evolving technology environment. In this role, you will develop secure-by-design principles, reference architectures, standards and patterns that support business goals while reducing cyber risk. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, cloud, data, application and operational teams to ensure security is embedded throughout the technology lifecycle, from strategy and design through implementation and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include assessing current and proposed architectures, identifying risks and control gaps, and providing practical recommendations that balance security, usability, performance and cost. You will lead security reviews for major programmes and solutions, contribute to threat modelling, and guide the adoption of identity and access management, cloud security, network security, application security, data protection, encryption, monitoring and resilience capabilities. You will also help shape security policies and governance processes, support risk acceptance decisions, and ensure that solutions align with recognised frameworks, regulatory expectations and internal standards. The role will involve mentoring security professionals and influencing senior stakeholders through clear, concise communication.
You will bring substantial experience in security architecture, enterprise technology or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern security principles and threat landscapes. Experience designing secure cloud and hybrid environments, implementing zero-trust approaches, and working with architecture frameworks and risk methodologies is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, CISM or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You should be confident analysing complex technical issues, translating them into actionable outcomes, and engaging effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. A strategic mindset, strong judgement, collaborative working style and commitment to continuous learning are essential.
