We are seeking an experienced Head of Security Architecture to lead the development, implementation, and management of robust security frameworks across our organisation. In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for defining the vision and strategy for enterprise security architecture, ensuring alignment with business objectives and compliance requirements. You will oversee the design and integration of security controls into business processes, IT systems, and emerging technologies, working closely with cross-functional teams to drive best practices in security by design.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining an enterprise security architecture roadmap, conducting risk assessments, and leading security architecture reviews for new projects and initiatives. You will act as a subject matter expert, advising senior stakeholders on security risks, emerging threats, and technology trends. Collaboration is key, as you will partner with IT, compliance, and business units to ensure security requirements are embedded throughout the lifecycle of solutions and services. You will also mentor and guide a team of security architects, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in security architecture, with a strong background in designing and implementing security solutions for complex, large-scale environments. Deep understanding of security frameworks (such as SABSA, TOGAF, or NIST), cloud security, and regulatory requirements is essential. Proven leadership and communication skills are required, along with relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, SABSA, or AWS/Azure security certifications). If you are passionate about shaping and safeguarding the future of enterprise security, we encourage you to apply.
