Senior Cloud Security Architect

Senior Cloud Security Architect

London | £120,000 + Bonus

A rare opportunity for a senior cloud security leader to join a growing cyber security consulting practice — blending strategic advisory, technical excellence and practice development in one role.

You'll work with senior client stakeholders to shape cloud security strategy, lead complex transformation programmes, and help organisations securely scale AWS, Azure and GCP environments — while also playing a key role in growing the Cloud Security practice itself.

Why this role stands out:

• Genuine practice leadership — shape the direction of a growing capability, not just deliver on existing engagements
• Exposure to complex, high-profile cloud security programmes across multiple industries and boardrooms
• A flexible, collaborative consulting environment with strong scope for progression
• A genuinely strong benefits package (details below)

If you're as comfortable in a board-level strategy conversation as you are challenging a technical architecture design — this is worth a look.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing and delivering secure, resilient, scalable architecture across AWS, Azure and GCP
• Advising on enterprise-scale cloud transformation, migration and modernisation — strategy through implementation
• Helping clients mature DevSecOps capabilities, embedding security into CI/CD, IaC and cloud-native engineering
• Driving cloud security governance, architecture assurance and control optimisation
• Leading security architecture reviews, threat modelling, risk assessments and maturity assessments
• Contributing to BD, thought leadership and practice growth
• Mentoring talent and supporting the wider team

What we're looking for:

• 10+ years' experience in cloud security or related disciplines
• Proven track record delivering complex cloud security programmes in enterprise environments
• Strong expertise across cloud platforms, IAM, network security, data protection and security operations
• Hands-on experience designing secure cloud architectures across AWS, Azure and/or GCP
• Deep understanding of modern security frameworks, including Zero Trust
• Excellent stakeholder management and client-facing consulting skills
• Experience leading teams in complex delivery environments
• Right to work in the UK
• One or more relevant certifications: CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer (or equivalent)

Benefits:

• Competitive salary (DOE) + bonus
• Flexible/hybrid working
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Private medical insurance (medical, dental, mental health — covering partner and children)
• Life insurance (4x salary)
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Cycle to Work Scheme
