Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Security Architect to design, develop and maintain secure technology architectures across a complex and evolving IT environment. In this role, you will define security standards, principles and reference architectures that support business objectives while protecting systems, applications, data and infrastructure from current and emerging threats. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, cloud, software development and risk teams to embed security throughout the technology lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include assessing existing architectures, identifying vulnerabilities and recommending practical improvements; developing secure patterns for cloud, network, identity, endpoint and application environments; and reviewing proposed solutions to ensure alignment with security policies, regulatory obligations and industry best practice. You will contribute to threat modelling, security risk assessments, incident preparedness and technology transformation programmes. The role will also involve producing clear architecture documentation, maintaining security roadmaps, supporting governance forums and communicating complex technical risks and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
To succeed, you should have substantial experience in security architecture, cyber security engineering or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of security frameworks, risk management and secure design principles. Experience across public or hybrid cloud platforms, identity and access management, network security, encryption, application security and security monitoring is highly desirable. Familiarity with recognised standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS, as well as relevant architecture methods and threat modelling techniques, would be advantageous. Professional security or architecture certifications are welcome. You will be an analytical and collaborative professional who can influence decisions, manage competing priorities and translate business needs into resilient, scalable and secure technology solutions.
