Location – London (in office 3 days per week)

I’m currently partnered with an elite Financial Markets firm who are hiring for a Director level Enterprise Security Architect to work with their Global CISO to set out and deliver the Enterprise Security Architecture strategy, driving a proactive, continuously improving enterprise security architecture function.

Whilst this is a strategic role where you will be working with stakeholders from across the organization in different geographies and time-zones to drive the security architecture strategy at the enterprise level; you will need to have come from a technical, hands-on background with a solid understanding of the technical intricacies that underpin the different concepts that will be driven and introduced.

This is an incredible opportunity to join a truly elite Financial Markets Infrastructure organization and play a pivotal role in how they implement security at the enterprise level globally over the coming years; truly influencing change and leaving a lasting impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, drive and deliver the enterprise security architecture strategy and roadmaps, working closely with wider Enterprise Architecture functions and technical departments to align security initiatives with broader business goals.
• Develop company wide security architecture frameworks, policies, and standards that wider Enterprise functions can lean on, with particular emphasis on Cloud Security, SaaS, and IaaS models, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and evolving regulatory requirements.
• Create and document expert-level security architecture design, analysis, and consultation to enterprise-wide programs, ensuring security risks are appropriately mitigated during the planning and design stages.
• Direct project and program managers to ensure the integration of security architecture across various initiatives, with a focus on scalability, compliance, and risk management.

Key Requirements:

• Proven ability to design, implement, and lead security initiatives across cloud, network, application, and infrastructure domains at an enterprise level for global organisations.
• Extensive experience working with C-Suite and senior stakeholders to drive strategic security initiatives, influencing decisions at the enterprise level.
• Deep expertise in security risk management frameworks, including ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-53, and SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls.
• In-depth knowledge of SABSA framework (ideally certified) and its six layers, particularly in risk management and security strategy development
