Cloud Platform Security Lead
We are seeking a Cloud Platform Security Lead to define and advance security across a complex, multi-cloud technology environment. This role will provide technical leadership for cloud security architecture, platform protection, identity and access management, and secure infrastructure engineering. You will work closely with platform, engineering, architecture, risk, and compliance teams to ensure cloud services are designed, deployed, and operated in line with robust security principles.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining cloud security standards, reference architectures, controls, and patterns across public and private cloud platforms. You will lead the implementation of preventative, detective, and responsive security capabilities, including identity governance, privileged access management, network segmentation, encryption, secrets management, vulnerability management, security monitoring, and incident response. You will assess new technologies and services, provide guidance on secure-by-design practices, and support teams in integrating security into infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and operational processes. The role will also involve identifying and managing cloud risks, supporting audits and regulatory requirements, and contributing to security strategy and roadmaps.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cloud security, platform engineering, or a closely related discipline, with strong knowledge of services and security controls across major cloud providers. You will be confident working with infrastructure-as-code, containers, Kubernetes, automation, security tooling, and modern software delivery practices. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, cloud security certifications, or equivalent experience are desirable. You should be an effective communicator who can influence technical and non-technical stakeholders, explain complex risks clearly, and balance security, usability, resilience, and delivery objectives. A proactive, collaborative approach and a strong commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
