• Provide thought leadership on integrated solution design and high-effectiveness architecture, defining how cybersecurity capabilities are structured, interconnected, and sustained at a national level
• Analyse national cybersecurity operational requirements, assess current-state architectures, and co-create next-generation solution designs that deliver integrated operational effects
• Establish and manage a repository of architecture principles, standards, and artefacts that form the backbone of CSA's technical governance framework
• Manage the Architecture Review Board, evaluating solution proposals, managing ongoing architecture change requests, and ensuring clear ownership of architectural decisions across the organisation

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
• Familiarity with architecture frameworks and methodologies such as TOGAF, Zachman, or SABSA, and the ability to apply them pragmatically in a complex operational environment
• Professional certifications in TOGAF, Cloud Architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP), Integration platforms, or Agile Development are preferred
