Cyber Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Architect to define and deliver secure, resilient technology architectures across a complex and evolving environment. You will work closely with technology, engineering, risk, compliance and business stakeholders to ensure security is embedded throughout the design, development and operation of systems, applications, infrastructure and digital services. The role will involve translating business and technical requirements into practical security solutions that support innovation while managing risk effectively.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining security architecture principles, standards, patterns and reference designs; conducting threat modelling, security reviews and risk assessments; and providing authoritative guidance on identity and access management, cloud security, networks, applications, data protection, cryptography and infrastructure security. You will assess proposed technologies and designs, identify vulnerabilities and control gaps, and recommend proportionate remediation. You will also contribute to security strategies, technical roadmaps, governance forums and architecture review boards, while supporting incident response, audit activity and regulatory compliance where required.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security architecture, security engineering or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of recognised security frameworks, secure development practices and risk management methodologies. Experience designing secure solutions across cloud and on-premises environments, together with knowledge of enterprise architecture principles, would be highly valuable. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA, CCSP or equivalent are desirable. You should be confident communicating complex technical risks to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, influencing decisions at senior level and working collaboratively across multiple teams. A pragmatic, analytical and delivery-focused approach is essential, along with a commitment to continuous improvement and the ability to balance security, usability, cost and business priorities.
