Senior Cyber Architect
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cyber Architect to define and deliver secure, resilient architecture across a complex technology environment. You will provide strategic direction on cyber security architecture, ensuring that security controls, principles and designs are embedded throughout the development and operation of platforms, applications, networks and cloud services. Working with technical and business stakeholders, you will translate risk, regulatory and operational requirements into practical, scalable security solutions.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining security architecture frameworks, principles, reference models and standards; reviewing solution designs and providing authoritative security guidance; and identifying opportunities to strengthen defence-in-depth across the organisation’s technology estate. You will lead architecture assurance activities, threat modelling, security risk assessments and design reviews, while supporting the resolution of complex vulnerabilities and incidents. The role will also involve evaluating emerging technologies, advising on cloud and hybrid environments, and contributing to roadmaps that improve security maturity, resilience and operational efficiency.
You will bring substantial experience in cyber security architecture, enterprise architecture or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of security concepts across infrastructure, applications, data, identity and cloud. Experience with recognised frameworks and standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, SABSA or Zero Trust will be highly valued. You should be able to assess complex environments, communicate risk clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, and influence decisions at senior level. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA or a cloud security qualification, are desirable. Strong analytical, consultancy and stakeholder management skills are essential, along with the ability to work collaboratively, challenge constructively and deliver high-quality outcomes in a changing environment.
