Security Architect

We have a new opportunity for a Security Architect to join us within our Infrastructure Architecture team. You'll be responsible for defining, governing and evolving the organisation's security architecture across infrastructure, cloud, networks, platforms, endpoints, applications and identity services. This role provides strategic and technical leadership to ensure security is embedded into the design, delivery and operation of technology services.

We're looking for someone with broad cyber security knowledge, strong infrastructure and cloud architecture experience, sound commercial and risk judgement and the ability to balance security, resilience, regulatory obligations, operational efficiency and business needs.

Key responsibilities

• Define, maintain and communicate the organisation's security architecture, target state, roadmap, standards, principles and technical control requirements
• Ensure security is considered from the earliest stages of technology design, procurement, implementation, change and operational transition
• Work with Infrastructure and Cloud teams to ensure security controls are embedded into platform design, build standards, configuration baselines, patching and operational processes
• Support the design and governance of network security controls, including network segmentation, firewalls, secure connectivity, remote access, web gateways, DNS security and network monitoring
• Provide architectural governance for identity and access management capabilities, ensuring authentication, authorisation and access-control services are secure, scalable, auditable and aligned with business requirements
• Review and assure security designs, architecture proposals, technology solutions and significant changes to ensure compliance with security policies, standards and approved architecture patterns
• Lead or contribute to root-cause analysis following security incidents or material operational events, ensuring that lessons learned are incorporated into standards, architecture patterns and roadmaps

Work arrangements:

At AXA we work smart, this role is non-office based meaning you can predominantly work from home or if in a field-based role, you'll travel to visit offices or client sites as required. We're also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.
