The Role

Enterprises, when starting on their cloud journey, often imagine that they will simplify their environment. The reality for many, however, is that adoption of cloud adds additional technologies and capabilities, drives divergence in operating models, often splits business processes across multiple tech stacks in different landing zones, and overall adds significant complexity to the enterprise estate. The Hybrid Platform Security Architect is charged with ensuring that business objectives can be realised in a secure and compliant manner in this new, more complex world. Security must be seen to be an enabler and not a bottleneck.

Skills, Qualifications and Experience Required

We are seeking vibrant technical leaders who can communicate and manage relationships with senior stakeholders, build compelling transformation journeys, and be key players in their delivery. Proven experience in helping clients shape and deliver technology-enabled change that delivers value, security, agility, and efficiency is essential.

• Experience delivering complex, large-scale security solutions on cloud or hybrid environments, especially integration into the wider enterprise.
• Strong knowledge of traditional security approaches, technologies, and operational models, alongside a thorough understanding of security capabilities of major cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, AWS).
• Ability to balance 'one size fits all' versus 'landing zone specific' security solutions.
• Conversant with IdAM solutions and understanding of zero trust principles and challenges.
• Appreciation of different operating models for legacy and cloud environments, contributing to operational model design and implementation.
• Experience with security testing and auditing.
• Understanding of IT operating models, including DevOps practices, and how to enhance security through them.
• Ability to manage security aspects of cloud strategy reviews, data models, integration, and migration tools.
• Industry-recognized qualifications relevant to the role and seniority are preferred.

You must be a practitioner and a theorist, passionate about technology, and capable of working effectively in multidisciplinary teams. Credibility with clients and colleagues is essential. You will support customers throughout their transformation journey, fostering relationships and ensuring successful implementation of major changes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide credible, experience-based thought leadership.
• Design cloud/technology roadmaps, strategies, transformation plans, and high-level architectures.
• Offer impartial assessments of cloud strategies and vendor proposals.
• Provide insights across various technology areas, including hybrid hosting and integration scenarios.
• Contribute to developing profitable Cloud and Defence Consulting practices.
• Leverage and share knowledge within the team.
• Build strong client relationships to understand their business problems and identify commercial opportunities for KPMG.

Base Location

The role can be based at any UK office, with expectations of being on-site a few days a week when not on client site. Client constraints may require more on-site presence, and significant UK travel may be necessary.
