Information Security Architecture & Engineering Lead
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Architecture & Engineering Lead to define and deliver secure, resilient technology solutions across a complex and evolving environment. This role will provide strategic direction for security architecture while remaining closely connected to engineering, infrastructure, cloud, applications, and operational teams. You will translate business and technology requirements into practical security designs that protect information assets, support regulatory obligations, and enable innovation.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining security architecture principles, standards, patterns, and reference designs; leading security reviews for new and existing platforms, applications, and services; and identifying opportunities to strengthen controls across identity and access management, cloud security, network protection, endpoint security, data protection, vulnerability management, and threat detection. You will assess risks, recommend proportionate mitigations, and ensure security requirements are embedded throughout the technology and delivery lifecycle. The role will also involve guiding engineering teams, reviewing technical designs, supporting incident and problem management, and contributing to security strategies, roadmaps, policies, and investment planning.
You will bring substantial experience in information security architecture, security engineering, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern enterprise and cloud technologies. Experience leading technical teams or influencing delivery through matrix structures is essential, as is the ability to communicate complex risks and solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Familiarity with recognised security frameworks, secure-by-design principles, threat modelling, risk management, and relevant regulatory requirements is expected. Professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CISM, CCSP, or equivalent qualifications would be advantageous. We are looking for a pragmatic, collaborative leader who can balance strong security outcomes with usability, operational effectiveness, and business priorities.
