As a Security Architect, your role will act as a single point of contact between security and other technical and business teams, operating across both operational and strategic levels. You will develop and coordinate design and advisory responsibilities with different areas of the information security group on individual acquisitions and research ventures. You will interact with internal research and business intelligence teams, technical teams, and other members of the information security group to develop and deliver security products and services. You will play a key role in shaping the services this program delivers, ensuring in-flight acquisitions receive the appropriate security services at the right times.

This role will reside within the Cyber Threat Intelligence team, with a dotted-line relationship to our security architecture group.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with infrastructure and technology teams, security teams, and acquisition target teams to coordinate core security and tech services during an acquisition or divestiture.
• Partner with infrastructure, tech, and security teams to develop, document, and deploy secure design patterns for collaborations with strategic alliance partners.
• Partner with internal security and technical teams to develop new security playbooks and services focused on business alliances and strategic acquisitions.

Qualifications

Ideal candidates will have practical experience in security architecture disciplines such as Cloud Security, Application Security (AppSec), Network Security, and can demonstrate solutions they have designed and successfully implemented. Experience in the following is preferred:

• Bachelor's Degree with 9 years’ experience; Master's Degree with 8 years’ experience; PhD with 4 years’ experience.
• At least five years’ experience in an information security role, preferably as a Security Architect or Security Engineer.
• Direct experience with designing and/or providing solutions related to mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and multi-company collaborations.
• Experience with various security tools and capabilities, with some hands-on or operational exposure (self-hosted and cloud).
• Working knowledge of popular cloud platforms and security solutions (AWS, GCP, Azure) and collaboration platforms (M365, Slack).
• Working knowledge of Active Directory and related security constructs (domains, forests, trusts).
• Certifications such as GCFE, GCFA, GDSA, GCTI, GCIA, GCDA, GEIR are strongly preferred.
• Solid understanding of industry security standards like NIST 800, ISO 27001, etc.
• Related technical or industry certifications (e.g., SANS, AWS).
