About the Role

Senior IT Security Architect

The Opportunity

Are you ready to own a security architecture strategy from the ground up, not just execute someone else's plan?

This role gives you the mandate to define and drive infrastructure security strategy over the next two to three years. You'll sit at the intersection of Infrastructure, IT Security, Management and the CISO function, turning strategic direction into real technical projects rather than sitting in theory.

The Role

  • Develop and improve security architecture across IT infrastructure
  • Define security standards, requirements and technical measures for infrastructure environments
  • Own and drive the strategic security roadmap
  • Assess and secure cloud, on-premise, network, server and endpoint infrastructure
  • Translate security requirements into technical projects, architectures and processes
  • Evaluate new technologies and assess their suitability from a security perspective
  • Build and improve security processes, including automation, monitoring and incident prioritisation
  • Support the ISO 27001 certification process
  • Act as the technical point of contact for infrastructure security during audits and assessments
  • Work closely with Infrastructure, IT, Management and the CISO or security organisation

The Company

You'll be joining a large, complex enterprise environment where infrastructure security has genuine strategic weight, not just a compliance checkbox. The role reports into a structure that puts you in regular contact with Management and the CISO function directly, giving you visibility and influence that architects in smaller or more siloed organisations rarely get.

What You'll Need

  • 5+ years of experience in IT security within a large, complex enterprise environment
  • Strong infrastructure security background, covering several of: network, server, endpoint, cloud or on-premise environments
  • Practical experience with ISO 27001
  • Understanding of SIEM, security incident management and security automation
  • Experience translating security requirements into technical solutions and architecture
