Security Architect

Our client, a leading regional financial institution, is looking for a Security Architect to shape and govern security design across complex, hybrid technology estates. This is a hands-on, senior role embedded in the group cyber function, partnering with architecture and engineering teams to ensure that critical platforms and services are secure by design.

The Security Architect will be responsible for:

• Defining and reviewing end-to-end security architectures for on-premise, cloud and hybrid solutions, covering networks, applications, data and platforms.
• Developing and maintaining security patterns, standards and reference designs, and ensure they are adopted consistently across projects and technology domains.
• Providing expert security design guidance to architects, engineers and delivery teams from early-stage solutioning through to go-live.
• Evaluating security risks and control gaps for major change initiatives, proposing practical mitigations that balance resilience, cost and delivery timelines.
• Communicating security design decisions, trade-offs and residual risks clearly to senior technology and business stakeholders.

As an experienced Security Architect, you would have:

• Extensive experience (circa 12–15 years) in cyber security, with a strong track record in security architecture or security solution design for large enterprises.
• Deep technical understanding across key security domains (identity, data protection, application security, endpoint and infrastructure security) and modern architectures (cloud, APIs, microservices).
• Familiarity with security frameworks and practices (e.g. NIST, ISO 27001, ATT&CK-style threat modelling) and with secure development / DevSecOps concepts.
• Strong stakeholder skills, able to influence senior leaders, translate complex risks into clear options, and work effectively with cross-functional technology teams.

If you are a seasoned security architect who enjoys designing robust, compliant and scalable solutions, please apply with your CV or reach out in confidence to [Confidential Information] to discuss this opportunity further.
