  • Provide architectural guidance and assurance throughout delivery.
  • Assess solution options, technical risks, dependencies and impacts.
  • Ensure solutions align with security requirements, enterprise standards and architecture principles.
  • Define technology, cloud, infrastructure, integration and security patterns.
  • Work with security specialists, engineers, project teams, vendors and senior stakeholders.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentoring to delivery teams.
Key Skills Required:
  • Extensive experience in a Technical Architect role within an enterprise environment
  • Strong technical architecture experience across cloud, infrastructure, platforms, integration and security.
  • Good understanding of security architecture, technology risk, resilience and secure-by-design principles.

  • Play a key technical architecture role within a major Information Security program.
  • Work across complex enterprise technology, cloud, infrastructure and security environments.
  • Collaborate with experienced Enterprise, Program, Solution and Security Architects.
  • Work on a range of challenging initiatives rather than being focused on a single technology area.
  • Flexible working arrangements and opportunities for professional development.
  • Make a tangible contribution to a significant enterprise-wide technology transformation.
