Senior Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Architect to define and advance the security architecture across a complex, evolving technology environment. In this role, you will develop security strategies, principles, standards and reference architectures that support business objectives while protecting applications, data, infrastructure and digital services. You will work closely with technology, engineering, risk, compliance and operational teams to ensure security is embedded throughout the design, delivery and lifecycle of products and platforms.
Your responsibilities will include assessing current and future architectures, identifying security risks and recommending practical, proportionate controls. You will provide expert guidance on cloud security, identity and access management, network security, application security, data protection, threat modelling and secure development practices. You will review solution designs, contribute to security patterns and policies, support major transformation initiatives, and help establish consistent approaches to vulnerability management, resilience and incident preparedness. You will also communicate complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and support governance, assurance and audit activities where required.
Applicants should have significant experience in security architecture, cyber security engineering or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise architecture and modern cloud technologies. Experience designing secure solutions across hybrid environments, applying recognised security frameworks and translating risk into actionable outcomes is essential. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, CISM or equivalent, would be advantageous. You should be confident influencing senior stakeholders, facilitating design reviews and working collaboratively across multiple teams. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential, together with a pragmatic, risk-based approach and a commitment to continuous improvement.
