- Platform, Cloud & Data Security – Deliver expert security guidance across applications, cloud platforms, SaaS, data environments, and integrations; define approved patterns for IAM, encryption, key management, logging, monitoring, and resilience; champion least privilege, zero trust, and secure‑by‑default design aligned to enterprise risk appetite.
- Emerging Technology & AI – Shape secure architectures for automation, advanced analytics, and AI‑enabled capabilities; identify and manage risks around data usage, model lifecycle, access control, explainability, resilience, and misuse; partner with Data, Technology, Legal, and Risk teams to ensure responsible, compliant adoption of AI and emerging tech.
- Governance, Risk & Assurance – Lead threat modelling and architectural risk assessments for complex, high‑risk solutions; ensure alignment with internal policies and recognised security frameworks; support audits, assurance activities, and regulatory obligations with clear, structured documentation.
- Stakeholder Engagement – Act as a trusted advisor to Technology, Product, Data, and Delivery teams; translate complex security concepts into clear, business‑focused guidance; balance security, customer experience, delivery timelines, and commercial outcomes through pragmatic, risk‑based decisions.
What You Bring
You’ll bring deep expertise in security architecture and enterprise technology within financial services or insurance, hands‑on mastery across cloud services, SaaS, data platforms, integrations, and emerging AI capabilities, and the ability to thrive in ambiguous, evolving environments where trade‑offs are real and judgement matters.
