Associate Director, Cyber Security Operations Architect
We are seeking an Associate Director, Cyber Security Operations Architect to lead the design and evolution of secure, resilient and effective cyber security operations capabilities. This is a senior role for an experienced security professional who can translate strategic objectives into practical operating models, architectures and delivery roadmaps. You will work across technology, risk and business teams to strengthen the organisation’s ability to prevent, detect, respond to and recover from cyber threats.
You will define target operating models and security architecture principles covering security monitoring, incident response, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, identity protection, security automation and operational resilience. Responsibilities will include assessing current capabilities, identifying risks and improvement opportunities, developing multi-year roadmaps, and overseeing the implementation of services, processes and technologies. You will ensure that solutions are scalable, proportionate and aligned with recognised security frameworks, regulatory expectations and business priorities.
The role will involve providing expert advice to senior stakeholders, supporting investment and prioritisation decisions, and establishing clear governance, service measures and assurance activities. You will lead architecture reviews, contribute to security standards and policies, and promote the effective use of automation, analytics and emerging technologies. You will also help cultivate a strong security culture, coach colleagues and build effective relationships with internal teams, suppliers and strategic partners.
You will bring significant experience in cyber security operations, security architecture or a closely related discipline, gained in complex and highly regulated environments. Strong knowledge of security operations centres, cloud and hybrid infrastructure, threat detection, incident management and risk management is essential. You should be comfortable working at both strategic and technical levels, influencing senior decision-makers and communicating complex information clearly. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent experience are desirable, along with a demonstrable commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
This is an opportunity to shape cyber security capability at a senior level, helping to protect critical services and information while enabling secure transformation. Applications are welcomed from candidates who can demonstrate sound judgement, collaborative leadership and a pragmatic, outcomes-focused approach.
