Security Architect
Security Architect – Enterprise / Cloud / Transformation
Location: UK (Hybrid – client site as required)
Salary: Competitive + bonus + benefits
Entasis Partners is working with a global consultancy delivering complex transformation programmes across public and private sector organisations.
They’re looking for a Security Architect to take ownership of security design across large-scale programmes – shaping architecture, influencing engineering teams, and ensuring security is embedded into delivery from day one.
This isn’t a purely advisory role. You’ll be expected to drive outcomes, work closely with delivery teams, and make decisions that stand up in complex, fast-moving environments.
The Role of the Security Architect
You’ll be responsible for defining and delivering security architecture across a range of programmes, typically involving cloud, integration, and platform modernisation.
This will include:
- Owning end-to-end security architecture across projects and programmes
- Producing architecture across high-level design through to implementation
- Embedding security into delivery teams, working closely with engineering and product functions
- Identifying risk early and putting in place practical, scalable controls
- Reviewing existing environments and driving improvements without slowing delivery
- Acting as the security point of authority across stakeholders, including senior technical and non-technical audiences
You’ll be working across multiple engagements, so the ability to adapt quickly and operate with autonomy is key.
What They’re Looking For from the Security Architect
- Strong background in security architecture within complex environments
- Experience delivering across large-scale transformation, infrastructure, or integration programmes
- Ability to move between strategy and hands-on delivery
- Confident engaging with stakeholders across engineering, architecture, and leadership
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, delivery-led environments
Certifications (desirable, not essential):
CISSP, CISM, TOGAF, SABSA or equivalent
Environment
- Hybrid model - typically 2–3 days on client site (can vary by programme)
- Exposure to a range of sectors and technology stacks
- Delivery-focused culture - less hierarchy, more ownership
- Opportunity to stay on a technical career path without moving into people leadership
Additional Info
Some roles may require UK security clearance, so candidates should be eligible (typically 5 years UK residency).
