Are you a highly qualified and experienced IT Security specialist looking for your next challenge? We have an incredible opportunity for a Security Architect to join our department of Digital, Data and Technology.

Acting both as a business enabler and champion of innovation, you will ensure that we are positioned to extract competitive advantage from technology decisions whilst retaining security posture. As a security evangelist and ambassador for the security function, you will have deep technical expertise across a broad range of information and cyber security technologies and an ability to convey complex technical challenges in easy to understand, simple and concise language.

This position is offered on a fixed term contract with an end date of 19th February 2024.

About the role:

You will be the lead technologist within Information and Cyber Security, reporting directly to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).  

You will be expected to:

  • Review and design the security of our systems and cloud solutions
  • Lead on security tooling
  • Perform threat assessments
  • Challenge and lead change to policies and processes to support business objectives
  • Guide senior leaders on IT products and services
  • Be our expert and trusted advisor for security operations
  • Represent the University at forums and approval boards

About you:

We are looking for a strategic thinker and technical visionary. You will bring industry best practice, knowledge, and know-how to an enthusiastic and dedicated team of security practitioners.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • A proven IT Security background with significant experience in security architecture
  • The ability to be pragmatic, self-motivated and calm under pressure
  • Experience of IT project management and change management in a large organisation
  • A broad technical knowledge covering a range of operating systems
  • An excellent understanding of current and emerging threats, as well as countermeasures
  • Expert knowledge of security technologies, best practice and legislation
  • The ability to articulate technology and security in a transparent and informative way
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to build strong and influential relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders

Experience of the above within a university would be a bonus but is not essential.

We aim to provide a technological environment that matches the University's international, teaching and research reputation, and which contributes to the realization of its key institutional strategies. 

We strive to respond intuitively to both the ever-evolving needs of our users, and the wide diversity of those users through the exploration of new and emerging technologies.
