Job Level

SeniorLead

About the role

  • Work with Enterprise, Solution, Data and Integration Architects to define the client’s security architecture baseline across key domains (identity, access, network, application, data, logging, monitoring).
  • Review current security posture for key systems and integrations and identify gaps and risks relevant to EA decisions.
  • Define security architecture principles, patterns, and controls to be applied at each design stage (HLA, HLD) and at the Architecture Review Board (ARB).
  • Create and maintain security checklists, design templates, and decision logs used in the EA workflow.
  • Provide security input into 1-2 pilot projects going end-to-end through the new EA governance process, including review of HLA/HLDs.
  • Ensure that designs address key non-functional requirements (authentication, authorisation, encryption, logging, monitoring, resilience).
  • Collaborate with the GRC team to ensure EA governance supports relevant standards and frameworks (e.g. ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls).
  • Advise on priorities for security improvement in the application and integration landscape, and help shape a realistic security roadmap.
  • Contribute clear, versioned security artefacts into the EA repository (policies, patterns, reference diagrams).
  • Explain security implications to non-security stakeholders in a clear, practical way that supports decision-making.

Requirements

  • 7+ years’ experience in Security Architecture, Security Engineering, or related roles.
  • Strong understanding of security architecture domains (identity and access management, network and perimeter, application security, data protection, logging and monitoring).
  • Proven experience reviewing and influencing system and integration designs from a security perspective.
  • Good knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or similar.
  • Ability to produce clear security requirements, design guidelines, and review comments that solution teams can implement.
  • Comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders (IT, GRC, business) and negotiating trade-offs.
  • Excellent communication skills in English and comfortable working in a hybrid model (remote plus occasional on-site visits to Casablanca and/or London).
