Job description

Location: UK | Hybrid – minimum 2 days per week in the office or on client site

Sector: Cyber Security | AI | Defence & Security | Digital & Data

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced AI Security Architect to join a leading technology and innovation consultancy, helping organisations securely adopt and scale the next generation of AI.

This is an opportunity for a strong Security Architect or Cyber Security Consultant to move into one of the fastest-growing areas of cyber security — securing AI-enabled applications, LLMs, AI agents and autonomous workflows.

The Role

You’ll work directly with clients to understand how AI is being introduced into their organisations and, importantly, how it can be adopted securely.

You’ll assess security architectures, threat model AI and agentic systems, identify emerging risks and design practical security controls and guardrails.

You’ll also be expected to translate complex technical risks into clear, practical recommendations for technical and senior business stakeholders.

You’ll work across areas including:

• AI-enabled applications and LLM integrations
• Agentic AI and autonomous workflows
• Cloud, identity, application and data security
• AI governance and assurance
• AI-enabled security operations
• Threat modelling and Secure by Design
• AI security architecture and security controls

What's on offer?

• Work at the forefront of AI Security and Cyber Security
• Help organisations securely adopt Generative AI and agentic AI
• Work across a broad range of clients, sectors and technology environments
• Exposure to complex programmes across Defence, Government, Energy, Financial Services, Transport and more
• Technical career progression without being pushed towards people management
• Work alongside experienced Cyber, AI, Data, Engineering and Technology specialists
• Strong investment in technical development, training and certifications
• Hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days per week in the office or on client site

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in:

• Security Architecture
• Cyber Security Consulting
• Secure by Design
• Identity and Access Management
• Security Risk & Governance
• AI / GenAI / LLM Security
• AI Assurance or AI Governance

Why this opportunity?

This is a chance to move beyond traditional security architecture and become involved in the next generation of cyber security.

You’ll be helping organisations answer some of the biggest security questions around AI — from how to secure LLM applications and autonomous agents, to establishing governance, controls and guardrails that allow organisations to adopt AI safely.

If you're a Security Architect looking to establish yourself at the forefront of AI Security, this could be an excellent next step.
