Senior Security Architect

Senior Security Architect

We are currently partnering with multiple clients, ranging from leading technology consultancies to established enterprise organisations, who are seeking a Senior Security Architect to spearhead the design of robust security frameworks. This is an exceptional opportunity to act as a trusted technical authority, bridging the gap between high-level business objectives and the technical controls required to secure complex, modern environments.

In this position, you will define security strategies and govern architecture standards, ensuring that security is seamlessly embedded into the lifecycle of cloud, hybrid, and on-premises systems. You will lead threat modelling and risk assessment activities to identify vulnerabilities, while collaborating with cross-functional teams to provide strategic guidance on cloud security, identity and access management (IAM), and network segmentation. By translating complex security requirements into actionable technical designs, you will play a pivotal role in influencing technology decisions and mitigating organisational risk.

• Extensive experience in security architecture design for cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid environments.
• Strong proficiency in identity and access management (IAM), network security, and encryption patterns.
• Proven ability to conduct threat modelling and risk assessments to inform security control design.
• Deep knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and Zero Trust principles.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with experience in a consulting or advisory capacity.
• Experience in security governance, policy development, and architectural documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to lead security transformation initiatives and influence technology strategy.
• Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, TOGAF, or SABSA.

If you are a strategic thinker with a passion for secure architecture, we would love to hear from you. As we work with multiple clients across various sectors, we have several similar opportunities available and can help you find the role that best aligns with your career aspirations.
