Senior Cybersecurity Architect
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cybersecurity Architect to define and deliver secure, resilient technology architectures across a complex and evolving environment. This is a senior role for a strategic thinker who can translate business objectives and emerging threats into practical security solutions that protect systems, data and services.
You will lead the design of enterprise security architectures, ensuring that security principles are embedded throughout the technology lifecycle. Working closely with engineering, infrastructure, cloud, data, risk and delivery teams, you will establish secure design patterns, reference architectures and technical standards. You will also provide expert guidance on the adoption of cloud services, identity and access management, network security, application security, encryption and security monitoring.
Key responsibilities will include assessing existing and proposed architectures, identifying vulnerabilities and control gaps, and recommending proportionate improvements. You will contribute to threat modelling, risk assessments, security reviews and technical assurance activities, while supporting the development of security policies, patterns and governance processes. The role will involve presenting complex technical risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership.
You will help shape the organisation’s long-term cybersecurity roadmap, remain informed about evolving threats and technologies, and promote secure-by-design practices. You may also support incident response, regulatory compliance, audit activity and the evaluation of security products and suppliers.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cybersecurity architecture, security engineering or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise infrastructure, cloud platforms, applications and modern security controls. Experience with recognised frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS or SABSA is desirable, as is a relevant professional certification such as CISSP, CISM or a cloud security qualification.
You will need excellent communication and influencing skills, sound commercial judgement and the ability to balance security, usability, cost and delivery priorities. A proactive approach, strong analytical capability and a commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
