• Provide security architecture guidance throughout the full project lifecycle, from design through to implementation.
• Work closely with architects, engineers, delivery teams and client stakeholders to embed security into enterprise solutions.
• Apply security architecture frameworks, patterns and principles to manage technology and business risk.
• Support agile delivery teams by providing security expertise throughout design, build and implementation phases.
• Participate in technical workshops, architecture reviews and collaborative problem-solving sessions with internal teams and clients.

• Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA, TOGAF, IISP or CCP are highly desirable.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess technical and business risk.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with experience engaging both technical and non-technical audiences.
