More about your role
As part of the second line of defence, the Enterprise Information Security Architect provides expert oversight and strategic challenge to ensure the organisation's systems, services, and technology programmes are secure by design.
This role acts as a trusted risk advisor to enterprise and solution architects, IT leaders, and change teams, ensuring that security, resilience, and data protection are embedded into architecture decisions from the outset. It provides independent assurance that technology solutions align with organisational policies, risk appetite, and regulatory obligations, helping to reduce exposure and build long-term security maturity.
Playing a key role in shaping information security architecture, governance, supporting secure design patterns, and guiding the organisation towards consistent, risk-informed decision-making.
The Essential Criteria for this role is listed below.
- Proven experience in providing independent security or architectural assurance across IT change, enterprise architecture, or transformation programmes.
- Strong understanding of secure-by-design and privacy-by-design principles, with the ability to challenge and guide design decisions against risk appetite.
- Demonstrable knowledge of cyber and information security risks, including data protection, cloud security, and control assurance in complex environments.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with confidence to engage and influence architects, IT leadership, and governance forums.
- Relevant professional certification (e.g. TOGAF, SABSA, CISSP, CISM) or equivalent experience in enterprise or security architecture within a risk or GRC function.
More about you
You're a strategic thinker with a deep understanding of architecture, cyber, or information security, and you know that secure design is fundamental to building trust, resilience, and business value. You're comfortable operating in the second line of defence, or a similar GRC function, and bring the confidence to challenge constructively, guide decision-making, and influence architectural outcomes.
You thrive on translating complex security risks into practical design principles and are comfortable navigating technical detail, governance forums, and business conversations alike. You understand the importance of aligning technology decisions with risk appetite and regulatory expectations, and you do so without blocking progress.
Above all, you bring credibility, clarity, and a calm, professional presence to fast-paced environments. You see the bigger picture, and you're motivated by helping the organisation make safer, smarter decisions, by design.
