Senior Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Architect to define and strengthen enterprise security architecture across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. In this role, you will develop practical, scalable security strategies that support business objectives while protecting critical systems, applications, data and infrastructure. You will work closely with technology, engineering, risk, compliance and business stakeholders to embed security throughout the design and delivery lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include creating and maintaining security architecture principles, standards, reference models and roadmaps; assessing proposed solutions and providing security recommendations; and identifying risks, vulnerabilities and opportunities for improvement. You will lead architecture reviews, threat modelling and security design assessments for applications, platforms, networks and emerging technologies. The role will also involve supporting identity and access management, cloud security, network segmentation, encryption, secure software development and incident readiness. You will contribute to governance activities, audit preparation and the development of security policies and technical controls, while helping teams interpret and apply security requirements effectively.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in security architecture, enterprise technology or a related discipline, with a strong understanding of modern cybersecurity principles and risk management. You should have practical knowledge of cloud platforms, zero-trust architecture, infrastructure security, application security, identity services and security frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001 or CIS. Relevant professional certifications are desirable, alongside experience communicating complex security topics to both technical and non-technical audiences. We are looking for a collaborative and influential professional who can balance risk, usability, cost and delivery timelines, demonstrate sound judgement, and promote secure-by-design thinking across the organisation.
