The Enterprise Architect (EA) operates under the strategic direction of the CISO and the Information Security function, and is accountable for supporting and enforcing the enterprise cybersecurity architecture vision.

The EA contributes to shaping and governing the risk born of the cybersecurity landscape by defining, evolving, and maintaining enterprise‑wide security architectures across identity and access management (IAM), cloud security, application security, data protection, network security, and OT security domains, in strict alignment with Information Security strategies, policies, and decisions. Acting as one of the key and formal architectural authorities within the cybersecurity governance model, the EA ensures that secure‑by‑design principles and enterprise security standards are consistently applied across initiatives.

The EA serves as a trusted advisor to business and technology stakeholders while operating in close coordination with the CISO, Director of GRC, and Director of Security Operations, providing architectural oversight, guidance, and reporting to and supporting enterprise risk management, regulatory compliance, operational resilience, and auditability. All architectural recommendations and decisions are aligned with, and subject to, Information Security governance and leadership direction, while enabling controlled business agility and innovation YOU’LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO: Define and enforce enterprise cybersecurity (IT) architecture standards, security reference architectures, and architectural principles across identity, network, cloud, endpoint, application, data, and operational technology (OT) environments.

Establish and participate in Architecture governance committees and gates, to ensure solutions align with enterprise security strategy, regulatory obligations, and cyber risk posture. Partner closely with the Office of the CISO, including Security Operations, GRC, and Cyber advisory teams, to translate cyber risk scenarios into actionable architectural capabilities and secure-by-design patterns. Support strategic initiatives like Lead enterprise-wide modernization initiatives focused on identity and access management (IAM/CIEM/PAM), cloud workload protection (CWPP/CSPM), data security posture management (DSPM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR/XDR).

Alongside the CyberSecurity & Infrastructure Teams, define target and transition security architectures supporting hybrid IT ecosystems, including cloud platforms, enterprise networks, industrial environments (IT/OT), digital workplaces, and globally distributed operations. Define and establish guardrails for secure cloud adoption, connectivity architectures, secure remote access, digital identity ecosystems, and third-party integrations.

Collaborate with enterprise architecture peers (EA Infrastructure/Cloud, EA Data, EA Application) and senior leadership to define multi-year cybersecurity technology roadmaps, capability investment priorities, and enterprise resilience strategies. Ensure security architecture designs support regulatory compliance, business continuity, cyber resilience, incident response readiness, disaster recovery, and global scalability requirements.

Maintain close and continuous engagement with Solution Security Architects across domains to ensure consistent alignment between enterprise cybersecurity architecture, solution designs, and technology portfolios, enabling coherence, reuse, and end‑to‑end security across initiatives. Ensure end‑to‑end security design on key platforms such as SAP(S/4HANA, ECC, SAP BTP, integrations and interfaces), Azure, GCP, Salesforce, Snowflake, Fortinet NGFW, covering identity and access management, segregation of duties, data protection, secure configurations, and alignment with enterprise cybersecurity standards.

Collaborate closely with the Cyber Advisory team on strategic IT portfolio initiatives, embedding security architecture and risk‑based guidance early in project lifecycles to support informed decision‑making, secure‑by‑design outcomes, and consistent cyber risk management across high‑impact and transformational programs. YOU’LL THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING SKILLS AND QUALITIES: Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, cybersecurity, or a related study, or equivalent project-related experience.

Minimum of 15 years of experience in IT, including at least 8+ years in cybersecurity architecture or senior technical leadership roles. Strong knowledge of security governance models, regulatory frameworks & industry standards (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and zero trust reference frameworks). Ability to translate cyber risk insights, security incidents, and threat intelligence into enterprise architecture capabilities and secure target-state designs.

Experience collaborating with Security Operations, Risk & Compliance, Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, and Application teams to ensure architectural decisions enable proactive protection, detection, and response capabilities. Deep expertise in enterprise cybersecurity domains, including Cloud Security (Azure, GCP), SaaS Security, SAP Security, IAM, network security, endpoint protection, application security, data protection, vulnerability management, and cloud security architectures.

Solid understanding of hybrid enterprise environments spanning on-premises data centers, public/private cloud and industrial OT systems. Proven experience designing and governing security architectures at enterprise scale across distributed technology ecosystems. Experience operating within Agile and DevSecOps delivery environments. Industry certifications (CISSP, CISM, SABSA, CCSP, Azure/AWS/GCP Security) or equivalent are strong assets.

High level of integrity and credibility with demonstrated ability to influence risk-informed decision-making across technology and business domains. Team player with experience working across cyber defence teams, enterprise architects, infrastructure engineering teams, and risk management stakeholders to ensure secure and scalable solution delivery. Strong conceptual and analytical skills, demonstrating structured problem-solving and the ability to develop enterprise-level security architecture designs.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex cyber risk and security architecture concepts to executive and non-technical stakeholders, including board-level leadership.
