Security Solution Architect

The Business Enablement Architect is a senior-level individual contributor responsible for securely enabling business capabilities through intentional architecture, risk-informed design, and governance alignment. This role operates at the intersection of business strategy, technology architecture, security architecture, and delivery execution - ensuring that new and evolving solutions align with enterprise standards while accelerating value delivery.

The role partners closely with BU IT teams, Platform teams, Enterprise Architecture, Information Security, and external vendors to translate business intent into architecturally sound, secure, and operable solutions. A core accountability is providing architecture leadership, security design oversight, and risk input across Delivery Intents, New Technology Reviews, Info Sec Deviation Forms (IDFs), and the Business Enablement work intake process.

This is a T-shaped role requiring deep expertise in one or more domains combined with working breadth across solution architecture, security architecture, infrastructure, cloud, identity, data, and integrations.

• Act as the BU-aligned Solution Architect, ensuring solutions are designed with security-by-design and security-by-default principles.
• Adopt an end-to-end mindset (beyond  security only  or any single technology domain).
• Identify, assess, and articulate architectural and security risks—including data protection, identity and access management, integration security, third-party risk, infrastructure and network security, logging and monitoring, application security, and resilience considerations.
• Co-author secure solution designs with BU IT Delivery Architects, validating that non-functional and security requirements are met.
• Complete all Security Sections of the Delivery Intent.
• Partner with Info Sec, Platform, and Enterprise Architecture teams to ensure alignment with enterprise security standards, control requirements, and risk tolerances—without unnecessarily slowing delivery.
• Provide documented security architecture input (including Info Sec Baseline Security Requirements attestation) to support risk acceptance, mitigation planning, or escalation.
• Define or draft informal patterns, working with platform team, when gaps exist; determine control mitigation approaches when pattern effectiveness is in question. Ensure ad-hoc patterns are reviewed and approved by Enterprise Architecture and Information Security.
• Support security event response, by providing details of the solution design and components to the team tasked with researching and resolving the event.
• Shepherd projects from inception through Service Transition, maintaining architectural continuity and intent.

• Represent Business Enablement in Architecture Review Board (ARB) sessions for assigned BU solutions. Ensure sufficient coverage is in place to support the BUIT Architect in addressing all questions and securing ARB approval.
• Engage the Security Architecture Review Board (SARB) via the office-hours model when Info Sec team engagement is needed.
• Contribute to Delivery Intent reviews as a security and technology compliance contributor, validating alignment with:
  • Enterprise architecture principles and approved technology standards
  • Info Sec Baseline Security Requirements across security domains (data protection, IAM, infrastructure/network security, logging/monitoring, application security)
  • Target-state roadmaps and approved patterns
  • Contribute to New Technology Reviews, evaluating:
    • Architectural fit and overlap with existing platforms
    • Security implications and control gaps
    • Operational and support impacts
    • Long-term sustainability and vendor risk

• Author and contribute to Info Sec Deviation Forms (IDFs) when proposed solutions deviate from approved or published security standards or technical standards.
• Gather required information from all involved parties (Delivery Architects, BU IT, Platform, Cyber Risk Management) to complete the IDF.
• Ensure IDFs are reviewed by appropriate stakeholders and retained with supporting documentation by Cyber Risk Management.
• Contribute risk perspective and architectural considerations to prioritization, sequencing, and sponsorship discussions during the work intake process.

• Partner with delivery teams throughout execution to interpret architectural intent, resolve design issues, and manage trade-offs as constraints evolve.
• Support teams with reference architectures, guardrails, and patterns that accelerate delivery while maintaining consistency and security.
• Engage vendors and third…
