Senior Lead Cybersecurity Architect

Reference: q4kuhqajunbppxjhgesx

We are seeking a Senior Lead Cybersecurity Architect to define and advance enterprise security architecture across a complex, evolving technology environment. In this strategic role, you will establish secure-by-design principles, develop target-state architectures, and ensure that security controls are embedded consistently across cloud, infrastructure, applications, data, networks, and emerging technologies. You will work closely with technology, engineering, risk, privacy, and business stakeholders to translate organisational objectives and regulatory expectations into practical, resilient security solutions.

Key responsibilities include leading the development and maintenance of security architecture frameworks, reference architectures, standards, patterns, and roadmaps. You will assess proposed technologies and major initiatives, identify security risks and design gaps, and provide clear recommendations to support informed decisions. The role will involve guiding threat modelling, architecture reviews, control selection, and security requirements definition throughout the development lifecycle. You will also contribute to identity and access management, zero trust, cloud security, application security, data protection, vulnerability management, incident readiness, and business continuity initiatives. As a senior technical leader, you will mentor architects and engineers, promote consistent practices, and represent cybersecurity in governance forums and transformation programmes.

The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in cybersecurity architecture, security engineering, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of enterprise IT and modern cloud platforms. Experience designing solutions across hybrid environments, integrating security into DevSecOps practices, and working with recognised security frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS, or SABSA is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or equivalent, will be valued. You should be comfortable communicating complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences, influencing senior stakeholders, managing competing priorities, and making sound risk-based decisions. A proactive, collaborative approach and a commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
