Senior Security Architect
We are seeking a Senior Security Architect to define and advance secure technology strategies across a complex, evolving environment. You will provide architectural leadership across cloud, infrastructure, applications, data, networks, and identity, ensuring that security is embedded into the design and delivery of products and services. Working closely with engineering, enterprise architecture, risk, compliance, and business stakeholders, you will translate organisational objectives and security requirements into practical, scalable solutions.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining security architecture principles, reference models, standards, and roadmaps; assessing proposed technologies and designs; and identifying opportunities to reduce risk while enabling innovation. You will lead security reviews, threat modelling, and architecture risk assessments, advising on appropriate controls and remediation plans. The role will also involve supporting cloud security, zero-trust initiatives, identity and access management, data protection, secure software development, network security, and resilience. You will contribute to security governance, policy development, technology evaluations, and the continuous improvement of architecture and assurance processes. As a senior subject-matter expert, you will mentor architects and engineers, influence decision-making at all levels, and communicate complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
You will bring substantial experience in security architecture or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise security principles, modern cloud platforms, and security engineering practices. Experience designing solutions across hybrid environments, applying recognised security frameworks, and working within regulated or risk-conscious settings is highly desirable. Strong analytical, documentation, stakeholder management, and communication skills are essential, together with the ability to balance security, usability, cost, and delivery priorities. Professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, or equivalent are advantageous. You should be comfortable working independently, influencing without direct authority, and providing pragmatic guidance in a fast-changing technical landscape.
