Lead Security Solution Architect
We are seeking an experienced Lead Security Solution Architect to define and deliver secure, scalable technology solutions across a complex enterprise environment. In this influential role, you will translate business and technology requirements into robust security architectures, ensuring that products, platforms, applications, and infrastructure are designed with security embedded from the outset. You will provide technical leadership across the full solution lifecycle, from strategy and high-level design through implementation, assurance, and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include developing security architecture principles, patterns, standards, and reference designs; conducting threat modelling, risk assessments, and security reviews; and advising delivery teams on appropriate controls and technologies. You will collaborate with enterprise architects, engineers, product owners, risk specialists, and senior stakeholders to ensure solutions align with regulatory obligations, organisational policies, and industry best practice. You will also evaluate new technologies, support security investment planning, contribute to incident and resilience reviews, and promote secure-by-design practices across the organisation. Where required, you will lead architecture governance, challenge design decisions constructively, and communicate complex risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
You will bring significant experience in security architecture, solution design, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of cloud, networks, identity and access management, application security, data protection, and infrastructure security. Experience designing solutions across hybrid or multi-cloud environments and working with recognised security frameworks and risk methodologies is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, or equivalent, would be advantageous. You should be confident operating at both strategic and technical levels, capable of influencing without direct authority, and comfortable balancing security, usability, cost, and delivery priorities. Strong analytical, communication, stakeholder management, and documentation skills are essential, as is a proactive approach to improving security maturity and enabling successful business outcomes.
