About your team

The Enterprise Network Security Services team is part of the Enterprise Network & Multimedia Services group, within the Enterprise Infrastructure Services technical division.

The Enterprise Infrastructure Services (EIS) division delivers secure, reliable, and globally accessible IT infrastructure (both on-premises and cloud) supporting Fidelity’s applications, services, and dynamic working environment. The Enterprise Network & Multimedia Services group provides global network connectivity solutions across 60+ office locations, core data centers, and cloud partners. It also delivers multimedia connectivity through telephony and conferencing systems both on-premises and in the cloud. The group aims to ensure resilient, high-performance network and multimedia services company-wide and on a global scale.

The Enterprise Network Security Services team is a dynamic global unit with members across APAC, India, and the UK. It is responsible for the full lifecycle of network security services, covering product strategy, architecture, implementation, operations, and lifecycle governance. The team manages and continuously evolves key security platforms including Palo Alto next-generation firewall technologies and Cisco Secure Workload (CSW) alongside identity-based access control and secure internet access services. Working closely with Cyber Security, Architecture, Engineering, and Infrastructure teams, the group continually enhances Fidelity's security posture through network segmentation, Zero Trust principles, automation, AI-assisted security capabilities, and continuous compliance improvement.

About your role
As a Technical Consultant within the Enterprise Network Security Services team, you will play a key role in the design, implementation, governance, and continuous improvement of Fidelity's global network security platforms and services. You will work closely with Engineering teams, Cyber Security, Enterprise Architecture, and business stakeholders to deliver and maintain secure, scalable, and resilient network security solutions.

The role combines deep technical expertise with solution design, project delivery, operational excellence, and technology modernization. You will contribute to strategic initiatives, support major transformation programs, and help evolve the network security portfolio through automation, cloud adoption, zero-trust architectures, and AI-enabled security capabilities.

About you

The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in enterprise network security engineering and architecture, with a proven track record of delivering complex security solutions and supporting large-scale technology transformation initiatives within enterprise environments. Experience within financial services or other highly regulated industries is highly advantageous. You should be comfortable working across architecture, engineering, operations, and project delivery, ensuring security solutions are effectively designed, implemented, and transitioned into service.

You should have strong experience translating business and security requirements into practical technical solutions and operational processes. This includes developing and reviewing solution designs, supporting technology roadmaps, defining technical standards, and ensuring solutions meet requirements for security, resilience, compliance, and operational efficiency. Experience participating in major programs, technology migrations, vendor engagements, and cross-functional delivery projects will be highly valued.

You are expected to demonstrate strong technical expertise across enterprise network security domains, including next-generation firewalls, network segmentation, Zero Trust architectures, identity-based security controls, secure internet access, threat prevention, and security operations. In particular, hands-on experience with Palo Alto next-generation firewalls and Cisco Secure Workload (CSW) or equivalent workload segmentation platforms is highly desirable. The ideal candidate should also possess solid networking fundamentals across routing and switching, data center networking, DNS, load balancing, VPN technologies, and cloud networking, enabling effective design and troubleshooting of end-to-end enterprise solutions. Knowledge of cloud security, security automation, DevOps-aligned practices, AI-assisted security operations, and regulatory frameworks such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) would be advantageous. Strong stakeholder management, analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to influence technical decisions across multiple teams are essential.
