Director, Senior Security Architect
We are seeking a Director, Senior Security Architect to provide strategic leadership and technical direction across enterprise cybersecurity architecture. This role will define and evolve a secure, scalable architecture strategy aligned with business priorities, regulatory obligations, and emerging threat landscapes. You will lead the design of security solutions across cloud, applications, infrastructure, data, identity, and networks, ensuring that security is embedded throughout the technology lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include establishing architecture principles, standards, reference models, and governance processes; reviewing and approving solution designs; and identifying opportunities to improve resilience, risk management, and operational efficiency. You will work closely with technology, engineering, risk, compliance, and business stakeholders to translate complex security requirements into practical solutions. The role will also provide technical leadership during major transformation programmes, acquisitions, platform migrations, and incident response activities. You will mentor and develop security architects, promote consistent design practices, and communicate architectural risks and recommendations clearly to senior leadership.
Applicants should have extensive experience in cybersecurity architecture, security engineering, or a closely related discipline, with a strong background leading architecture programmes in complex enterprise environments. You will bring broad knowledge of cloud security, identity and access management, network security, application and product security, data protection, threat modelling, and security operations. Experience with recognised security frameworks and standards, risk assessment methodologies, and relevant regulatory requirements is essential. Strong influencing, communication, and stakeholder-management skills are required, along with the ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on technical judgement. Professional security certifications or equivalent expertise are desirable. This is an opportunity to shape long-term security capability, strengthen organisational resilience, and lead the delivery of innovative, business-focused security architecture.
