Senior Security Architect
Summary
Senior Security Architect at a cybersecurity consultancy, embedded full-time in an enterprise client's cyber program doing architecture assurance: reviewing delivery partners' security designs and defending architecture decisions with senior stakeholders. Needs ~10 years in security, deep skills in AWS/Azure/GCP, and Australian PR/citizenship.
Our client is a fast-growing cyber security consultancy across Australia and New Zealand, known for technical depth and for backing its people.
They have an immediate need for a Senior Security Architect in Melbourne, in a permanent role, with a current engagement embedded full-time with one of their enterprise clients.
You will sit inside a large enterprise's cyber program and keep the external delivery providers honest. This is architecture assurance, not hands-on build, and not vendor or pre-sales work.
The role
Review security designs from delivery partners and challenge what does not hold up
Set and defend security architecture decisions with senior stakeholders
Confidently push back with the client when the design or the risk calls for it
Work alongside other embedded architects and the client's security leadership
Join a practice that grows senior architects into lead roles
What you'll need to succeed
A solid 10 years in security, with senior architecture experience
Real depth in at least one of AWS, Azure or GCP
Client-facing experience, with the judgement to push back and hold your position
Design and ability to make decisions you can explain and defend under questioning
Experience governing third-party delivery is highly regarded
Full, unrestricted right to work in Australia mandatory as a PR or Citizen
SABSA, TOGAF or CISSP is advantageous; proven experience counts more
Suitably skilled candidates are encouraged to apply with an achievement-based CV.
This role is also available in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
