Job description

Security Solution Architect

We’re working with a leading global transformation consultancy seeking a Cyber Security Solution Architect to support one of their flagship clients on a major cyber security programme.

This is an opportunity to shape enterprise level security design, developing secure, scalable solutions that strengthen defences, improve resilience and embed cyber best practice across all layers of the organisation.

The Role

In this hands‑on architecture role, you’ll:

• Design and implement modern security solutions across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Collaborate with business, IT and cyber teams to ensure security is built into every stage of delivery.
• Support initiatives spanning identity security, threat modelling, AI & data protection and critical asset management.
• Provide architectural oversight and technical guidance, ensuring solutions are robust, compliant and fit for purpose.
• Influence strategic decision‑making, balancing innovation with risk management.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong background as a Security, Infrastructure or Solutions Architect with experience across enterprise‑scale environments.
• Knowledge of security frameworks and governance (e.g. NIST, ISO27001, CAF).
• Experience with Zero Trust principles is advantageous, but not essential — we’re open to strong architects who can adapt and apply secure design practices.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM or SABSA are desirable.

Why Apply

• Play a key role in delivering a high‑impact cyber programme with real‑world outcomes.
• Join a consultancy that values innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement.
• Flexible hybrid working, typically 1 day per week onsite in Bedfordshire (not fully remote).
• Must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship.

To Apply

If you’re a forward‑thinking Cyber Security Solution Architect who thrives on solving complex challenges and embedding secure design into business transformation, we’d love to hear from you.
