Senior Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Architect to define and deliver secure, resilient technology solutions across a complex and evolving environment. This is a strategic role requiring strong technical leadership, sound commercial judgement and the ability to translate business objectives into practical security architecture.
You will develop and maintain security architecture principles, standards, patterns and roadmaps, ensuring that security is embedded throughout the design, development and operation of systems and services. Working closely with engineering, infrastructure, product, risk and compliance teams, you will assess proposed solutions, identify vulnerabilities and recommend proportionate controls that support innovation while managing risk.
Key responsibilities will include leading security architecture reviews, threat modelling and risk assessments; advising on cloud, network, application, data and identity security; and ensuring that designs align with recognised frameworks and regulatory requirements. You will contribute to incident preparedness, support the resolution of significant security issues and promote secure-by-design practices across the organisation. The role will also involve producing clear technical documentation, presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders and mentoring security and technology professionals.
You will have substantial experience in security architecture or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise security principles and modern technology environments. Experience across cloud platforms, identity and access management, secure software development, network security, cryptography and security monitoring is expected. Knowledge of relevant standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS, together with experience of regulatory and risk management requirements, would be advantageous.
Strong communication and influencing skills are essential, as is the ability to explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. You should be comfortable working independently, managing competing priorities and making balanced decisions in a changing environment. Professional security certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP or equivalent experience, would be welcomed.
