Senior Technical Architect (Privacy)
We are seeking a Senior Technical Architect (Privacy) to lead the design and delivery of secure, resilient and privacy-focused technology solutions across a complex organisation. You will provide technical leadership on privacy architecture, ensuring that services, platforms and data flows are designed in line with data protection legislation, security standards and organisational policy. Working with senior stakeholders, product teams, engineers, legal specialists and information governance professionals, you will translate privacy and business requirements into practical, scalable technical solutions.
Your responsibilities will include defining and maintaining privacy architecture principles, reference architectures, standards and patterns; assessing the privacy implications of new products, technologies and service changes; and advising on data minimisation, retention, access controls, encryption, pseudonymisation and secure information sharing. You will contribute to privacy impact assessments, threat modelling and assurance activities, identifying risks and recommending proportionate controls. You will also support the development of roadmaps, provide design assurance at key delivery stages and promote consistent approaches to privacy by design and by default.
We are looking for an experienced technical architect with a strong background in privacy engineering, information security, data architecture or a closely related discipline. You will have demonstrable experience designing solutions across cloud and enterprise environments, together with a sound understanding of UK data protection requirements, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Excellent communication and influencing skills are essential, as you will need to explain complex technical and regulatory matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant architecture or security qualifications, such as TOGAF, CISSP, CIPP/E or equivalent experience, would be advantageous. This is an opportunity to shape robust, trusted services while embedding privacy into technology decisions from the outset.
