Key responsibilities will include leading security architecture reviews for AI, machine learning, cloud, data platforms, APIs, and enterprise applications; identifying threats and designing appropriate controls across identity, access management, encryption, privacy, network security, application security, monitoring, and resilience; and assessing risks associated with generative AI, model supply chains, data poisoning, prompt injection, unauthorised data exposure, and third-party services. You will partner with engineering, data, privacy, risk, compliance, and business teams to embed security by design, oversee technical exceptions, and support the development of policies and governance frameworks.

You will bring a detailed understanding of security frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST, Zero Trust, privacy principles, and secure software development practices. Strong analytical, communication, influencing, and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to make sound decisions in ambiguous situations. Experience leading security transformation initiatives and working across complex, regulated environments would be highly valued.
