Principal Enterprise Security Architect
We are seeking a Principal Enterprise Security Architect to define and advance the security architecture strategy across a complex, technology-led environment. This role will provide senior technical leadership, establish secure-by-design principles, and ensure that security is embedded across business capabilities, applications, infrastructure, data, cloud services, and emerging technologies. You will work closely with executive stakeholders, technology leaders, product teams, and risk specialists to translate business objectives into practical, scalable, and resilient security solutions.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining enterprise security architecture standards, reference models, principles, and roadmaps; assessing current and proposed architectures for security, privacy, resilience, and regulatory alignment; and providing expert guidance on identity and access management, cloud security, network protection, application security, data security, threat modelling, and zero-trust approaches. You will lead architectural reviews, identify control gaps and technical risks, recommend appropriate remediation, and support the adoption of consistent security patterns across programmes and platforms. The role will also contribute to incident preparedness, technology assurance, third-party risk assessments, and the continuous improvement of security governance and design processes.
The successful candidate will bring extensive experience in enterprise security architecture within large, complex environments, together with a strong understanding of modern security frameworks, risk management practices, and regulatory expectations. Experience across cloud and hybrid infrastructure, security engineering, DevSecOps, identity platforms, and enterprise architecture methodologies is highly desirable. You should be comfortable communicating complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences, influencing senior decision-makers, and balancing security requirements with business priorities. Relevant professional qualifications in information security, architecture, risk, or a related discipline are advantageous. A strategic mindset, strong collaboration skills, sound judgement, and the ability to lead through influence are essential.
