Enterprise Security Architect, Lead

Overview

Enterprise Security Architect, Lead

Security must be architected, not bolted on. You understand how to embed security into every layer of an enterprise system, from data pathways to identity flows, to network segmentation and cloud control planes. In this role you will design security solutions for clients with complex network, platform, and data‑protection needs, implementing solutions that withstand advanced cyber threats.

Design, implement, and maintain security solutions for one or more networks and technology platforms while guiding adherence to information security policies and procedures.

Apply risk modeling and secure design methodologies to develop tailored controls for client and industry exposures, translating those designs into practical architectures for network and application deployments.

Advise on security technologies and communicate complexities clearly to technical teams, stakeholders, and senior management.

Partner with engineering teams, cybersecurity SMEs, cloud or platform owners, and business stakeholders; assess current‑state environments, identify architectural gaps, evaluate emerging technologies, and build roadmaps that advance enterprise security maturity.

Shape hardened systems that support the mission and collaborate with a team of experts.
