Job description

Cyber Security Solution Architect (10+ years) to lead large-scale cybersecurity implementation projects - 7304

Our corporate client is seeking a Cyber Security Solution Architect (10+ years) to lead large-scale cybersecurity implementation projects - 7304

Join a large enterprise environment supporting complex cybersecurity and technology implementation initiatives. This role focuses on solution architecture across security technologies, infrastructure, cloud platforms, networking, and application development environments within projects involving multiple stakeholders and large budgets. The position offers exposure to enterprise-scale environments with over 5,000 employees and long-duration implementation programs.

1 year Contract, Vancouver, Hybrid, Working Hours: PST, 37.5 hrs a week

Must Have:

• Experience 5+ years in cybersecurity roles.
• 5+ years in technology leadership roles (team lead, project lead, manager, etc.).
• 5+ years of experience with large implementation projects that run for a year or longer.
• Experience working in an organization with 5,000 employees or more.
• Experience working on projects with multiple different stakeholders.
• Experience working on technology implementation projects with total budget > 2 million dollars.
• Experience across both Linux/UNIX and Windows.
• Experience with networking technologies.
• Experience with traditional data center infrastructure (compute, storage, etc.).
• Experience with a wide range of security technologies. We are not looking for deep expertise on any specific technology, rather broad experience across many security technologies is better.
• Experience with Azure and/or AWS.
• Experience with application development teams, technologies, coding, processes, best practices.
• Experience with identity management paradigms and technologies.
• Broad experience with technology applications. Here we are not looking for specific expertise but rather someone who has "been around the block" in large technology organizations.

Soft Skills

• Ability to negotiate: listen, understand the priorities of the other groups, find consensus. Solution architects are ultimately negotiators and storytellers as much as they are technologists.
• Excellent writing skills. Ability to communicate clearly in writing is essential.
• Ability to communicate well across long form documents and short-form PowerPoints.
• Excellent technical drawing skills. We communicate in Visio as much as with words.
• Excellent presentation skills. Solution Architects often lead discussions, both with technical peers and with management.
• Ability to synthesize technical information for business audiences. Solution Architects often must present problems and recommendations to non-technical audiences who may only encounter a project once every few months.
• Flexibility and adaptability. We have an ever changing landscape of people and technologies here.
• Willing to "take one for the team". The art of apologizing and recognizing shared fault is an important skill in creating good will in a multi-team environment.
• Mission focused. We want someone who is driven to achieve the project goal.
• Respectful demeanor and communication. BC Hydro is focused on being a respectful workplace. People work here for many years so someone who is going to burn bridges to get what they want will not be successful here.

Responsibilities

• Lead cybersecurity solution architecture activities for large implementation projects
• Collaborate with multiple stakeholder groups across technology initiatives
• Develop technical documentation and written communications for project activities
• Create technical drawings and architecture visuals using Visio
• Present technical recommendations to technical and business audiences
• Synthesize technical information for non-technical stakeholders
