Senior Cyber Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cyber Security Architect to define and lead the security architecture strategy across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will develop secure, scalable and resilient architecture principles that support business objectives while managing evolving cyber threats and regulatory expectations. You will work closely with technology, engineering, infrastructure, cloud, data and risk teams to embed security into the design and delivery of new services, platforms and transformation programmes.
Your responsibilities will include creating and maintaining security architecture frameworks, reference architectures, standards and design patterns. You will provide expert guidance throughout the solution lifecycle, from early concept and requirements definition through to implementation and assurance. You will assess proposed technologies and designs, identify security risks and recommend practical controls across areas such as cloud security, identity and access management, network security, application security, data protection, endpoint security and third-party services. You will also support threat modelling, security reviews, risk assessments and the development of remediation plans, while ensuring that architecture decisions are clearly documented and aligned with relevant policies, legislation and industry standards.
To succeed, you will have substantial experience in cyber security architecture, with a strong understanding of enterprise, cloud and application security principles. You should be comfortable communicating complex technical risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and influencing decisions at senior level. Experience working with security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls or SABSA is desirable, as are relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP or a recognised security architecture qualification. Strong analytical, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to balance robust security controls with usability, delivery timelines and commercial considerations.
