Technical Security Architect
We are seeking a Technical Security Architect to define and deliver secure, resilient technology solutions across a complex digital environment. In this role, you will translate business and technical requirements into practical security architectures that protect applications, infrastructure, data, and services throughout their lifecycle. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, cloud, software development, risk, and compliance teams to ensure security is embedded by design rather than added retrospectively.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining security architecture principles, standards, patterns, and reference designs; conducting architecture reviews and threat modelling; and identifying appropriate controls to manage cyber, operational, and information risks. You will provide expert guidance on cloud security, identity and access management, network security, endpoint protection, application security, encryption, vulnerability management, and security monitoring. You will also assess proposed technologies and suppliers, support security cases and risk decisions, and ensure solutions align with relevant regulatory, privacy, and industry requirements. Where risks are identified, you will recommend proportionate mitigations and clearly communicate their impact to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in security architecture or a closely related technical security role, with a strong understanding of modern infrastructure, cloud platforms, secure development practices, and enterprise security controls. Experience producing architecture documentation, security assessments, threat models, and technical standards is essential. Professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CISM, CCSP, or equivalent qualifications would be advantageous. You should be confident influencing design decisions, challenging assumptions constructively, and working collaboratively in fast-moving environments. Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills are required, along with a pragmatic approach to balancing security, usability, cost, and delivery objectives.
