Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Security Architect to define and strengthen secure technology strategies across a complex and evolving environment. In this role, you will develop security architectures, standards and design principles that support business objectives while protecting applications, infrastructure, data and users. You will work closely with technology, engineering, product and risk teams to ensure security is embedded throughout the lifecycle of platforms, services and solutions.
Your responsibilities will include assessing current and proposed architectures, identifying security risks and recommending practical, proportionate controls. You will provide architectural guidance across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments, with particular focus on identity and access management, network security, application security, data protection, resilience and secure integration patterns. You will contribute to threat modelling, security reviews, technology selection and risk assessments, while helping to define and maintain policies, reference architectures and technical roadmaps. You will also support incident learning, vulnerability remediation and the continuous improvement of security capabilities.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security architecture, engineering or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern cybersecurity principles and enterprise technology. Experience designing secure cloud environments, APIs, distributed systems and identity solutions is highly desirable. You should be comfortable translating complex technical risks into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, influencing decisions without relying solely on authority. Strong knowledge of recognised security frameworks, secure development practices and regulatory expectations is expected, along with excellent communication, documentation and problem-solving skills. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP or equivalent, would be advantageous. This is an opportunity to shape secure, scalable solutions and help establish security as an integral part of technology delivery.
