Lead Security Architect

Reference: m3za4y1kfhl46dau896p

We are seeking an experienced Lead Security Architect to define and deliver robust security architecture across a complex technology environment. In this senior role, you will establish security principles, reference architectures and design standards that support business objectives while protecting critical systems, applications, data and infrastructure. You will work closely with engineering, technology, risk and business stakeholders to ensure security is embedded throughout the design, development and delivery lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include assessing current and emerging security risks, translating them into practical architectural requirements, and reviewing proposed solutions for compliance with security policies and industry best practice. You will lead threat modelling, security design reviews and risk assessments across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. The role will also involve developing strategies for identity and access management, network security, data protection, application security, resilience and secure software development. You will provide technical direction during major programmes, support incident and vulnerability management activities where architectural input is required, and help maintain effective security governance and assurance processes.

To succeed, you will bring significant experience in security architecture, cyber security engineering or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of enterprise security frameworks and risk management. You should be comfortable working across cloud platforms, infrastructure, applications and modern development practices, with practical knowledge of technologies such as zero-trust architecture, encryption, privileged access management, security monitoring and DevSecOps. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CISM or cloud security qualifications, are desirable. Excellent communication and influencing skills are essential, as you will be expected to explain complex security matters clearly, challenge constructively and build trusted relationships at all levels. This is an opportunity to shape long-term security capability and promote a culture of secure, resilient and responsible technology delivery.
