This role provides strategic technical leadership across diverse programs, with a primary focus on ensuring that mission-critical solutions are secure, resilient, and proactive. Operating as a broad security generalist, the Lead Security Architect brings deep expertise in threat modeling and solution security principles to guide teams, assess risk, and align architectural design with business objectives.

Operating as a senior technical contributor, the role collaborates closely with software engineering teams, Security Operations, delivery partners, and IT leadership to integrate robust security frameworks into modern application solutions.

Duties and Responsibilities

Lead multi-year programs involving internal and external stakeholders.
Lead the establishment and maturation of enterprise security architecture frameworks across infrastructure, cloud, and applications.
Integrate threat modeling into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to identify, prioritize, and mitigate architectural flaws early.
Define, maintain, and enforce security policies, baseline standards, and secure design patterns.
Develop reusable security reference architectures, data flow diagrams, and threat maps to accelerate secure delivery.

Risk and Compliance

Oversee application security assessments, secure design reviews, and risk analyses for critical systems.
Assess systemic risks and prioritize remediation strategies in ambiguous or rapidly changing environments.
Define risk-based security controls aligned with industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, OWASP, ISO 27001).
Proactively identify architectural risks and software vulnerabilities to safeguard corporate resilience and regulatory compliance.

Architecture Research

Maintain currency with leading Security Architecture frameworks, security capabilities and threat modeling methodologies.
Monitor evolving global threat vectors, vulnerability trends, and security technologies to keep enterprise designs future-ready.
Evaluate security tooling, lead proofs-of-concept for security controls, and drive innovation in automation of security tooling.
Partner with third-party vendors and system integrators to ensure external solutions meet organizational security standards.

| What you need to be successful

Minimum five (5) years of experience in technical leadership, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration.
Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, SABSA) and recognized security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CSSLP).
