• Develop and maintain security standards, policies, and control requirements aligned with Client frameworks and industry best practices
• Define and promote secure design patterns, reference architectures, and reusable security artifacts across platforms and development lifecycles
• Support secure configuration, governance, and compliance for cloud, applications, and DevSecOps pipelines
• Facilitate and support threat modelling activities across applications, platforms, and AI-enabled solutions to identify threats, attack vectors, and control weaknesses
• Enhance application security and DevSecOps practices, including secure SDLC, code scanning, and pipeline security controls
• Contribute to vulnerability management practices, including identification, triage, prioritization, and remediation guidance across systems and applications
• Advise on technology risk, vulnerability management, and security testing (e.g., SAST, DAST, container and dependency scanning)
• Support and contribute to the integration of AI into security practices where applicable (e.g., vulnerability discovery, risk prioritization, and security analysis), including assessing risks associated with AI adoption
• Translate technical security risks into business impact and provide clear, risk-based treatment recommendations
• Produce executive-ready documentation, reporting, and artifacts for stakeholders, governance forums, and leadership
• Support implementation planning, prioritization, and adoption of security controls and risk mitigation strategies
• Provide subject-matter expertise, workshops, and knowledge transfer across development, platform, and business teams
• Perform other related duties and deliverables as required

Required Qualifications

• University Degree or College Diploma in computer science, information security, engineering, or a related field
• A minimum of five (5) years of recent demonstrated experience in information technology or cyber security
• A minimum of three (3) years of recent demonstrated experience as a Cyber Security Architect or senior security specialist in complex, regulated environments
• Demonstrated experience assessing current-state security posture and defining target-state security architectures
• Demonstrated experience designing and governing security controls (e.g., IAM, network security, data protection, logging and monitoring)
• Demonstrated experience identifying security, risk, and compliance control gaps and recommending risk-based improvements
• Demonstrated experience developing security standards and reusable security architecture artifacts (reference architectures, patterns, building blocks)

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated strong knowledge of cyber security and risk frameworks such as NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53/61/92, and ISO/IEC 27001/27002
• Demonstrated knowledge with enterprise and security architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, SABSA)
• Demonstrated experience aligning security architectures with regulatory and supervisory expectations (e.g., financial services risk management)
