Enterprise Information Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Enterprise Information Security Architect to define and deliver secure, resilient and practical security architectures across a complex technology environment. This is an influential role for a strategic thinker who can translate business objectives and evolving threats into clear security principles, standards and designs.
You will develop and maintain the enterprise security architecture, ensuring that security is embedded across applications, infrastructure, cloud services, data platforms and emerging technologies. Working closely with technology, risk, compliance and delivery teams, you will provide expert guidance throughout the solution lifecycle, from early concepts and design reviews through to implementation and assurance.
Key responsibilities will include establishing architectural patterns and reference models; assessing proposed solutions for security risks; defining appropriate controls and remediation plans; and contributing to security strategies, roadmaps and investment decisions. You will also support the development of policies, standards and technical guidance, while helping to strengthen identity and access management, data protection, network security, cloud security and secure software development practices.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in information security architecture within a large, complex or regulated environment. You will be confident applying recognised security frameworks and principles, such as ISO 27001, NIST or SABSA, and have a strong understanding of modern cloud platforms, enterprise infrastructure, applications, integration technologies and information risk management. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA or a comparable certification, would be advantageous.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential. You will be able to explain complex technical and security matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, influence senior decision-makers and constructively challenge designs where necessary. A pragmatic, collaborative approach, strong analytical ability and a commitment to continuous improvement will be highly valued.
This role offers the opportunity to shape enterprise-wide security capabilities, improve resilience and help enable innovation through secure-by-design architecture.
