Job description

We believe in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future. We challenge where it matters and own the outcome. Our approach combines strategic thinking, customer-centric service design, and agile engineering practices to accelerate innovation in a tech-driven world.

Why consider joining our Digital & Data community?

  • Work alongside product, design, and cross-disciplinary teams to bring ideas to life through innovative software solutions.
  • Develop a flexible and unique career within a trust-based, inclusive environment that values excellence, innovation, and curiosity. You can progress on a technical career track without necessarily moving onto the Partner track.
  • Hybrid working model: minimum of 2 days per week in the office or on client sites.
  • Engage in a variety of projects across different tech stacks and sectors—no project is the same.
  • Join a supportive tech community with knowledge-sharing, mentoring, and coaching.
  • Deepen your expertise through a culture of learning, with budgets for courses and certifications.

What you can expect

  • Define end-to-end security architecture and deliver solutions for projects or programs, creating various architectural views.
  • Design secure system architectures using best practices to manage business and security risks.
  • Review and enhance clients' security measures with innovative solutions.
  • Work within agile frameworks and collaborate cross-functionally with teams and stakeholders.
  • Participate in live whiteboarding sessions and asynchronous communication via Teams.
  • Hybrid working environment with at least two days in the office or on client sites, with flexibility based on role or assignment.
  • Work in an environment that values its core principles and values.

Qualifications

Essential requirements

  • Solid foundation in information security.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, IISP/CCP, TOGAF, SABSA).
  • Experience delivering security solutions for large-scale infrastructure or integration projects.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Ability to collaborate with multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.

We value broad security knowledge, relevant qualifications, and a proven track record. Even if you don't meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply—your background might be a better fit for similar roles.

Application process

Apply online to be considered for this role. The interview process may include:

  • A quick call with a Tech Recruiter
  • Two rounds of technical or competency interviews
  • A final discussion with a PA leader focused on client-centricity

Our culture emphasizes enriching our people's lives through unique growth opportunities and meaningful work. We are committed to diversity, inclusion, and equality, supporting the well-being of our employees.

Benefits include private healthcare, generous leave, pension schemes, community initiatives, bonuses, share ownership, and tax-efficient benefits.
