About the Role
You will represent the Security Architecture team across our enterprise architecture and technology community, shaping how security is designed into everything we build including the AI systems now reaching production. This is a senior, influence-led role where you will prioritize strategic concepts, align security to the architecture process and NIST framework, and advance technology modernization and defense-in-depth across multiple clouds and on Prem. You will set direction for a substantial security technology stack and make strategic decisions on its future.
Responsibilities
- Partner with global domain architects to review enterprise architecture patterns and guardrails, ensuring security is designed in rather than retrofitted.
- Evaluate and recommend emerging technologies, providing technical and thought leadership through proofs of concept and business cases that demonstrate value.
- Represent security technology and capability strategy at senior executive forums and enterprise technology review boards.
- Provide architecture and design expertise on enterprise projects and security initiatives, including cross-domain functions, and certify domains in line with architecture governance.
- Lead the strategic evolution of security capabilities with a zero-trust-first approach, working alongside delivery teams.
- Define the security architecture for AI adoption covering AI and agentic systems, the data that feeds them, and the platforms that host them.
- Set a modernised approach to security tooling, services and capability sets, focused on technical feasibility across emerging technologies, controls and functions.
- Drive multi-cloud consistency, ensuring controls, telemetry and posture management extend uniformly across all cloud providers.
Requirements
- Minimum 7–10 years in information security architecture, engineering and design.
- Proven ability to navigate complex organisations across the security, network, infrastructure and global architecture stack.
- Proven experience migrating and upgrading core security technologies as part of an evolving security and infrastructure stack, including API security, cloud security, email security and endpoint security.
- Experience managing third-party security service providers in delivering security services.
- University degree/college diploma in related discipline(s) or equivalent co-op work experience.
- Professional designation in IT security (such as CISM, CISSP, CISA) preferred.
Skills
- Strong knowledge of core security domains: endpoint, cloud, infrastructure, perimeter and data protection.
- Multi-cloud security architecture across at least two major providers.
- Working knowledge of the modern security toolset CNAPP/CSPM, EDR/XDR, SIEM, secrets management, privileged access management, SSE/CASB, WAF and perimeter protection, database activity monitoring, and SAST/SCA/DAST in the pipeline.
- AI security: familiarity with AI and LLM threat models, AI governance frameworks, AI security posture management, model and agent identity, and the data-security implications of AI adoption.
- Pragmatic understanding of security problems as a mix of technology and process.
- Expert presentation and communication skills, written and verbal.
- People leadership experience preferred.
- Extensive knowledge of information security principles, best practices and industry standards.
- Self-starter, strategic thinker, negotiator and consensus builder.
