Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the Cyber Security Architecture and Design of systems and services, at organisational and inter-organisational level.
  
  
• Define and evolve enterprise security architecture, principles, strategies and roadmaps, aligned with security strategy and risk appetite.
  
  
• Translate threat and risk requirements (business, security, current and emerging) into practical security architectures, controls and mitigations.
  
  
• Oversee the design and delivery of cyber operational capabilities, ensuring security architectures translate effectively into secure, resilient operational services.
  
  
• Lead security architecture and design reviews, identifying risks and ensuring appropriate security controls are incorporated.
  
  
• Provide independent security risk and architecture consultancy, influencing customers and senior stakeholders across UK Government and the private sector.
