Senior Cloud Security Architect
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Architect to define and deliver secure, resilient cloud architectures across a complex and evolving technology landscape. This is a senior role for an experienced security professional who can combine strategic thinking with practical delivery, influencing technical decisions and embedding security throughout the design, development and operation of cloud services.
You will develop cloud security strategies, reference architectures, standards and patterns across platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform. Working closely with architecture, engineering, infrastructure, development, risk and compliance teams, you will ensure that solutions are secure by design and aligned with business objectives, regulatory obligations and industry best practice.
Your responsibilities will include assessing proposed architectures, identifying risks and defining appropriate controls across identity and access management, network security, data protection, encryption, logging, monitoring, vulnerability management and cloud-native services. You will provide technical leadership on security reviews, threat modelling and design assurance, while supporting the resolution of complex security issues and helping teams adopt pragmatic, scalable solutions.
You will also contribute to the development of cloud security policies, guardrails and automation, promoting infrastructure as code, continuous compliance and secure DevSecOps practices. The role involves staying informed about emerging threats, technologies and regulatory developments, and translating these into meaningful improvements to the organisation’s security posture.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cloud security architecture, with strong knowledge of public cloud platforms, security frameworks and modern identity models. Experience with zero-trust principles, container security, Kubernetes, APIs, CI/CD pipelines and security tooling would be advantageous. Professional certifications such as CCSP, CISSP, SABSA, or a relevant cloud security certification are desirable.
You will be an excellent communicator, able to explain complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong stakeholder management, analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the confidence to challenge constructively and influence at senior level. This role offers the opportunity to shape secure cloud adoption and make a lasting impact across a broad technology environment.
