Job Description & Summary

About the role: 

Join PwC’s Cyber Security practice and help organisations transform securely and build resilience against an evolving threat landscape. As a Senior Security Architect, you’ll work directly with clients to understand complex security challenges and translate them into practical, secure architecture. You’ll shape technology initiatives, provide strategic guidance and oversee the planning, implementation and testing of security controls. Working alongside specialists across strategy, risk, governance and technical delivery, you’ll help clients embed security throughout their transformation programmes, strengthen their cyber capabilities and create secure foundations for continued digital growth.

 

What your days will look like:

• Design and deliver secure enterprise architectures and guardrails, partnering with cloud and technology architects to translate security objectives into practical, scalable solutions.
• Secure cloud and SaaS environments, including Workday, SAP, Salesforce and Oracle, ensuring appropriate security controls are embedded within solution designs.
• Assess threats, vulnerabilities and security controls, identifying gaps and developing meaningful risk metrics and insights to support client decision-making.
• Lead client workshops and stakeholder engagement, clearly communicating security risks and remediation options while collaborating with strategic technology partners including Microsoft, Google and AWS.

 

This role is for you if:

• Strong knowledge of security architecture principles and best practices across enterprise networks, cud platforms and complex technology environments.
• Understanding of cloud well-architected frameworks and security approaches across Azure, AWS and GCP.
• Ability to apply recognised security frameworks and standards, including ISO/IEC 27001, NIST 800-53 and OWASP, to architecture and design decisions.
• Practical knowledge of cloud security controls, particularly identity and access management, network security, encryption and data protection.
• Understanding of logging, monitoring, SIEM, threat detection and PKI, alongside evolving cyber risk, threat intelligence and governance practices.
• Ability to support security transformation programmes, helping shape security strategies, target architectures, roadmaps and business cases that deliver practical improvements to cyber resilience.
