Cybersecurity Architecture

Enterprise Security Architecture | Retail | OT/IoT | M&A

Are you a Cybersecurity Architect who enjoys solving complex security challenges across environments that go far beyond traditional corporate IT?

Were looking for an experienced Cybersecurity Architect to join a large, complex enterprise undergoing continued technology transformation and growth. This is a high-impact opportunity to influence cybersecurity architecture across enterprise IT, retail locations, distribution and warehouse operations, OT/IoT, cloud, infrastructure, applications, and mergers & acquisitions
.

This role is ideal for someone who can walk into a complex environment, quickly understand how the technology operates, identify the real cybersecurity risks, and design practical solutions that balance security, business objectives, operational availability, and technology constraints
.

You wont just review architecture diagrams or check compliance boxes. Youll partner directly with cybersecurity, engineering, infrastructure, cloud, networking, application, operational, and business teams to help shape how technology is securely designed and implemented.

• Design and review secure architectures across cloud, on-premises infrastructure, networks, applications, identity, endpoints, and enterprise platforms.

• Conduct security architecture reviews, threat modeling, and cybersecurity risk assessments.

• Develop security architecture standards, patterns, requirements, and reference architectures.

• Translate cybersecurity risks into practical technical requirements and actionable recommendations.

• Partner with engineering and technology teams throughout the solution lifecycle to incorporate security early rather than after implementation.

• Develop architecture diagrams, security requirements, decision records, risk assessments, and remediation strategies.

Youll help protect technology environments where security must coexist with availability and day-to-day business operations.

• Assess cybersecurity risks across retail networks, payment environments, point-of-sale technologies, wireless infrastructure, third-party connectivity, edge technologies, and IoT/OT devices.

• Design segmentation strategies across corporate, retail, OT, payment, guest, and other technology environments.

• Incorporate PCI DSS and applicable security requirements into architecture decisions.

• Work closely with technology and operational teams to implement security without unnecessarily disrupting business operations.

This role provides the opportunity to work across warehouse, industrial, refrigeration, building-management, automation, facility, and IoT/OT environments
.

Youll assess and provide architecture guidance around:

• IT/OT network segmentation

• Asset discovery and visibility

• Remote and vendor access

• Identity and privileged access

• Vulnerability management

• Security monitoring

• Legacy and unsupported technologies

• OT/IoT connectivity to enterprise networks and cloud environments

Youll help reduce cyber risk while recognizing the unique safety, availability, reliability, lifecycle, and operational requirements associated with OT environments.

One of the most exciting aspects of this opportunity is the ability to influence cybersecurity throughout the M&A lifecycle
.

Youll help:

• Assess newly acquired technology environments.

• Identify cybersecurity risks, architecture gaps, technical debt, unsupported technologies, and control deficiencies.

• Evaluate identity, endpoints, networks, cloud, applications, data, OT/IoT, vulnerability management, privileged access, and security monitoring.

• Support Day 1 readiness and…
