Key responsibilities include defining and maintaining security architecture frameworks, patterns, reference designs and technical standards; assessing proposed solutions and providing pragmatic recommendations; overseeing threat modelling, security reviews and architecture governance; and ensuring alignment with regulatory obligations, industry practices and organisational risk appetite. You will partner with engineering, product, infrastructure, risk and compliance teams to identify and address security risks, support secure transformation initiatives and improve the organisation’s overall resilience.
