Job Title Cyber Architecture - Sr Advisor II About your role: The Global Enterprise Cybersecurity Architect is a senior-level role responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of enterprise-wide security architecture strategies, ensuring alignment with business goals, regulatory mandates, and evolving threat landscapes. This role spans traditional data centers, hybrid environments, and multi-cloud infrastructures (AWS, Azure, GCP), and requires deep expertise in designing, securing, and governing complex enterprise systems at scale. What you'll do: 1. Security Architecture & Strategy Define and maintain the global cybersecurity architecture framework across on-premises, private, public, and hybrid cloud environments. Lead the development of secure design patterns, architectural blueprints, and reference implementations aligned to Zero Trust, Secure-by-Design, and Defense-in-Depth principles. Translate business and regulatory requirements into secure solutions, ensuring consistent enforcement across geographies and platforms. Serve as the lead security architect in major digital transformation initiatives, including cloud migrations, SaaS adoption, and data center modernization. 2. Enterprise Governance & Policy Development Define enterprise security principles, standards, and policies; drive adoption across IT, business units, and DevOps teams. Collaborate with Compliance, Legal, Risk, and Internal Audit to ensure alignment with global regulatory frameworks (e.g., PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA). Lead threat modeling, security assessments, and control validations for emerging technologies (e.g., AI/ML, Kubernetes, APIs, IoT, data fabric). 3. Secure Infrastructure Design (On-Prem & Cloud) Architect secure data center network segmentation, privileged access zones, DMZs, and interconnects. Design and validate hardened configurations for physical and virtual systems, hypervisors, HCI platforms, and converged infrastructure. Build secure landing zones and cloud-native control planes with integrated IAM, logging, encryption, vulnerability management, and CSPM. 4. Security Technology Leadership Provide strategic direction for security tooling and platforms including SIEM/SOAR, DLP, PAM, EDR/XDR, CSPM, CWPP, CNAPP, IAM/IGA, certificate lifecycle management, and threat intelligence. Evaluate emerging cybersecurity technologies and drive proof-of-value pilots with innovation and engineering teams. Serve as an escalation point and SME during major cybersecurity incidents, ensuring root cause analysis and architecture-level remediation. 5. Cross-Functional Engagement Partner with infrastructure, DevSecOps, data, and application teams to embed security early into SDLC and infrastructure-as-code pipelines. Drive alignment with enterprise architecture, business continuity, and digital resilience programs. Mentor regional and domain-specific security architects, helping scale secure architecture expertise globally.
