Lead Security Solution Architect
We are seeking an experienced Lead Security Solution Architect to define and deliver secure, scalable architecture across a complex technology landscape. In this role, you will provide technical leadership from strategy and design through implementation, ensuring that security is embedded into business solutions, platforms, applications and infrastructure. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, product, risk and compliance teams to translate business requirements into practical security outcomes.
Your responsibilities will include developing security architectures, reference models, patterns and design principles; reviewing proposed solutions and identifying risks, vulnerabilities and control gaps; and recommending appropriate mitigations across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. You will lead threat modelling, security design reviews and architecture assurance activities, while supporting the definition of identity and access management, network security, data protection, application security, cryptography and monitoring controls. You will also contribute to security standards, policies and roadmaps, maintain clear technical documentation, and provide guidance during delivery, testing and operational transition.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security architecture, solution design or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise security principles and modern technology environments. Experience with cloud platforms, zero-trust architectures, secure software development, infrastructure security and security governance is highly desirable. You should be confident assessing complex risks, influencing senior stakeholders and communicating technical concepts to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, CISM or a comparable qualification would be advantageous. We are looking for a collaborative, pragmatic and decisive leader who can balance security, usability, delivery priorities and commercial considerations while championing continuous improvement.
