  • Security Solution Architecture – responsible for defining and maintaining security solution architectures and designs, and supporting development of the enterprise security architecture
  • Security Enterprise & Domain Architecture – responsible for defining and maintaining the enterprise security capability model and associated security domain architectures and roadmaps

    • This Security Solution Architect role will work in the Security Solution Architecture team. The successful candidate will be a delivery-focused expert in security solution architecture and design matters.

    The Security Solution Architects lead the creation of the high-level security design for all new solutions. We own the security design end-to-end, meaning that we work with IT Architects, InfoSec, the Engineering teams, and project delivery teams to help resolve any security solution delivery challenges and ensure that the final solution is effective.

    The Security Solution Architects also lead on the development of re-usable security solution patterns and reference architectures. We work with the Security Domain Architects to align solutions and patterns to the security technology roadmaps and overall security strategy.

  • Work with the Enterprise and Domain Architects to understand the business goals and vision, and contribute to the security domain strategies and roadmaps
  • Identify security technical debt and maintain the debt management repository and processes
  • Manage key stakeholders including technical and non-technical

    • Who are we looking for?

  • Happy to take ownership of challenges and lead the way in overcoming them
  • Passionate about what they do
  • A continual learner (forever inquisitive for self-improvement)
  • Self-motivated
  • Delivery-focused
  • Positive and a great team member
  • Articulate in describing technical topics for non-technical audiences
  • Comfortable interacting with audiences up to senior management level

  • Proven track record of solving complex and challenging technical problems
  • Excellent communicator, comfortable with audiences up to and including senior management
  • Drive and enthusiasm for the benefits of security architecture and design
  • Experience of architectural governance, standards, and methodologies

    • We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Security design experience in at least one major cloud platform (Azure, GCP, AWS)
  • Experience of working in large organisations in regulated sectors
  • Certification in architecture frameworks (eg., SABSA, TOGAF)
  • Cloud security design certifications (eg., AZ)
  • Security certifications such as CISSP, CISM etc
  • Experience of working in Scaled Agile / DevSecOps environments
