Senior Technical Security Architect
We are seeking a Senior Technical Security Architect to define and deliver secure, scalable technology solutions across a complex enterprise environment. In this role, you will lead the design of security architectures for cloud, on-premises and hybrid platforms, ensuring that technology initiatives align with business objectives, regulatory expectations and recognised security best practice. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, application, data and risk teams to embed security throughout the solution lifecycle, from early concept and requirements definition through implementation and operational support.
Your responsibilities will include developing security architecture principles, standards, reference models and design patterns; reviewing proposed solutions and identifying risks, vulnerabilities and control gaps; and providing clear, pragmatic recommendations to technical and senior business stakeholders. You will contribute to threat modelling, risk assessments, security design reviews and technology roadmaps, while helping to strengthen identity and access management, network security, encryption, endpoint protection, monitoring, resilience and incident readiness. You will also support the selection and evaluation of security technologies, maintain architectural documentation, and promote consistent application of security controls across programmes and services.
You will bring substantial experience in security architecture or a closely related technical security discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise infrastructure, cloud services, applications, networks and modern security practices. Experience with major cloud platforms, zero-trust principles, secure software development, identity technologies and relevant security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS is highly desirable. Strong analytical, communication and influencing skills are essential, along with the ability to explain complex technical risks in clear business terms. Professional security or architecture certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP or TOGAF, would be advantageous. This is an opportunity to shape secure technology strategies, mentor colleagues and help build resilient services in a collaborative, forward-looking environment.
