Requirements

• Strong written and verbal communication, interpersonal, presentation and consulting skills, coupled with strong interest in emerging technology, network security and cybersecurity threat capabilities.
• 10 to 15 years of relevant experience in Enterprise Architect, Network Security, Management Consulting, Threat Risk Assessment and Security Governance.
• Proven experience translating complex business and operational requirements into scalable, end-to-end solution architectures, with a strong grasp of integration patterns, middleware, and API-driven design.
• Demonstrated ability to architect solutions across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, with an understanding of how infrastructure, application, and security layers interact at an enterprise scale.
• Experience working across cross-functional teams and managing architecture governance processes, such as architecture review boards, design authorities, or technical steering committees.
