This is an opportunity for someone who wants to operate at enterprise level — shaping strategy, influencing investment decisions and building the security architecture capability for the future, rather than simply designing individual solutions.

• SABSA, TOGAF, CISSP or equivalent certifications are highly desirable

Broad architectural expertise across:

• Enterprise Security Architecture
• Cloud & Hybrid Security
• IAM
• SAP / ERP Security
• Infrastructure & Network Security
• Application, API & Data Security
• DevSecOps / SSDLC
• Zero Trust
• Cyber Risk & Security Governance
• AI & Emerging Technologies

What you’ll be doing

• Own and evolve the Group’s Enterprise Security Architecture strategy and roadmap.
• Establish security architecture standards, patterns and reference architectures.
• Lead security architecture governance and operate as a senior Security Design Authority.
• Shape security across major initiatives including SAP transformation, cloud adoption, digital/e-commerce platforms, AI and enterprise technology modernisation.
• Partner with Enterprise Architecture, Engineering, Infrastructure, Digital, Data, Product and SAP teams.
• Provide architectural assurance, technical due diligence and guidance on major technology investments.
• Drive Security by Design, Zero Trust and modern security engineering practices.
• Influence senior executives and technology leaders while balancing business enablement with cyber risk.
• Lead and mature the Enterprise Security Architecture capability across a complex international environment
