Security Architect Consultant
We are seeking an experienced Security Architect Consultant to design, develop and oversee secure technology solutions across complex business and technical environments. In this role, you will work closely with stakeholders, engineering teams, project managers and third-party suppliers to understand business objectives, assess security risks and translate requirements into practical, scalable architecture. You will provide expert guidance throughout the solution lifecycle, from early concept and design through implementation, testing and operational handover.
Your responsibilities will include defining security architecture principles, patterns and standards; conducting security reviews and threat modelling; identifying vulnerabilities and recommending appropriate controls; and ensuring that solutions align with regulatory, contractual and industry requirements. You will contribute to cloud, infrastructure, application, data and identity security initiatives, producing high-quality architecture documentation, risk assessments, technical recommendations and design decisions. You will also support security governance, contribute to technology roadmaps, advise on incident and remediation activities, and promote security-by-design practices across delivery teams.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security architecture, consulting or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise security frameworks, risk management and secure solution design. Practical knowledge of cloud security, network architecture, identity and access management, encryption, application security, vulnerability management and security monitoring is required. Experience with recognised standards and frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls or SABSA would be advantageous. Strong communication and influencing skills are essential, as you will be expected to explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA, CCSP or cloud security credentials, are desirable. You should be analytical, collaborative and commercially aware, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver clear, risk-based advice in a changing environment.
