Job description

This role is a replacement for business continuity, filling a critical position as a Cyber Security Enterprise Architect within the central Enterprise Architecture team. As an Expert Professional, the position is responsible for defining, co-developing, and leading the implementation of the cybersecurity strategy and architecture for Siemens Energy on a global scale. To fulfill this strategic objective, the role is structured around three core pillars: cyber security strategy and architecture governance, secure digital transformation (incl. cloud security, OT/IT convergence, and AI security) and Technical Leadership & Solution Oversight, which entails providing expert guidance on security implementation and acting as a top-tier authority on complex security matters. Given the focus on strategic design and expert-level guidance, the ideal candidate will be a recognized master in cybersecurity architecture. This requires extensive experience in experience designing security architectures across both Enterprise IT and Operational Technology (OT) environments in critical infrastructure, utilities, manufacturing, or energy sectors. It also requires deep knowledge of cloud security (AWS/Azure), and proven expertise in areas like risk management, SIEM, and Identity and Access Management. Advanced professional certifications are expected.
