Lead Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Lead Security Architect to define and advance the security architecture strategy across a complex, evolving technology environment. This is a senior role requiring strong technical leadership, sound judgement and the ability to translate business objectives into practical, resilient security solutions. You will work closely with technology, engineering, infrastructure, risk and business stakeholders to ensure security is embedded throughout the design, delivery and operation of products and services.
You will lead the development and maintenance of security architecture principles, standards, patterns and roadmaps, ensuring they support organisational goals and regulatory obligations. Responsibilities will include assessing existing and proposed architectures, identifying security risks, recommending appropriate controls and providing assurance throughout the project lifecycle. You will provide expert guidance across areas such as cloud security, identity and access management, network security, application security, data protection, threat modelling and security monitoring. The role will also involve influencing secure-by-design practices, reviewing major technology changes, supporting risk acceptance decisions and contributing to incident readiness and response planning.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security architecture or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of enterprise security principles, architecture frameworks and modern technology environments. Experience designing secure cloud and hybrid platforms, applying recognised security standards and working with risk and compliance requirements is essential. Relevant professional qualifications in information security, architecture or technology are desirable. You will be an effective communicator who can explain complex issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, challenge constructively and build trusted relationships at all levels. A proactive, collaborative approach and the ability to balance security, usability, cost and delivery priorities are key to success in this position.
