Security Architect - Entra ID/MS/Azure
We are seeking an experienced Security Architect specialising in Entra ID, Microsoft security technologies and Azure to design and strengthen identity and cloud security capabilities across a complex enterprise environment. This role will shape secure, scalable architecture and provide expert guidance on identity governance, authentication, privileged access, access controls and cloud security strategy. You will work closely with security, infrastructure, applications and compliance teams to ensure solutions meet business needs while maintaining robust protection against evolving threats.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining security architecture principles, reference designs and roadmaps for Entra ID and Azure; designing conditional access, multifactor authentication, identity lifecycle management and privileged identity management solutions; and integrating cloud services with existing directories, applications and security platforms. You will assess current and proposed architectures, identify risks and recommend practical improvements. The role will also involve supporting security reviews, threat modelling, technical governance, incident response planning and the implementation of zero-trust principles across the organisation.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security architecture, identity and access management, with strong knowledge of Entra ID, Azure, hybrid identity environments and Microsoft security capabilities. You should understand authentication protocols such as SAML, OAuth and OpenID Connect, alongside directory synchronisation, role-based access control, endpoint security and security monitoring. Experience producing architectural documentation, policies and technical standards is essential, as is the ability to communicate complex risks and solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant industry certifications in cloud, identity or information security would be advantageous. A methodical, collaborative approach and the confidence to influence stakeholders at all levels are essential for success.
