Senior Security Architect
We are seeking a Senior Security Architect to define and strengthen security architecture across a complex technology environment. In this senior role, you will develop practical, scalable security strategies that support business objectives while protecting applications, infrastructure, data and digital services. You will work closely with technology, engineering, risk, compliance and operational teams to embed security by design throughout the delivery lifecycle.
Key responsibilities will include creating and maintaining security architecture principles, standards, reference models and roadmaps; reviewing proposed solutions and identifying security risks, control gaps and remediation requirements; and providing expert guidance on cloud, network, identity, application, data and endpoint security. You will contribute to threat modelling, security design reviews, technology assessments and major transformation programmes. The role will also involve influencing architectural decisions, supporting risk acceptance processes, advising on incident response preparedness and helping ensure alignment with relevant regulatory, privacy and industry requirements.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security architecture, information security engineering or a related discipline, with a strong understanding of modern enterprise technologies and security frameworks. Experience designing secure cloud and hybrid environments, implementing zero-trust principles, and applying security controls across development and operational environments is highly desirable. Professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, CISM or equivalent are advantageous. You will be an effective communicator who can explain complex technical issues to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and influence outcomes without relying solely on formal authority. Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills are essential, together with a pragmatic approach to balancing security, usability, cost and delivery priorities.
