Who you'll be working with

A leading global professional services organisation is looking for an experienced Zero Trust Security Architect to join its growing cybersecurity team.

This is a Manager-level opportunity where you'll work with enterprise clients to design and deliver modern Zero Trust security architectures, helping organisations move away from traditional VPN, proxy and perimeter-based security models.

What you'll be doing

  • Designing and implementing enterprise-scale Zero Trust security architectures across users, devices, applications and data.
  • Developing security blueprints and reference architectures aligned to Zero Trust, NIST 800-207, SASE and SSE principles.
  • Working hands-on with technologies such as Zscaler ZIA, ZPA, ZDX and Client Connector.
  • Designing secure access solutions using SSO, MFA, device posture and least-privilege principles.
  • Integrating Zero Trust platforms with identity providers such as Entra ID, Okta or Ping, alongside SIEM/SOAR and endpoint security platforms.
  • Supporting the migration of legacy VPN, proxy and firewall solutions towards modern cloud-native security models.
  • Leading proof-of-concepts, technical validation and security architecture assessments.
  • Providing architectural governance, threat modelling and security guidance across client projects.
  • Working with senior stakeholders to shape Zero Trust strategies and long-term security roadmaps.
  • Providing technical leadership and mentoring to security and networking teams.

What we need

  • 5+ years' experience in cybersecurity architecture or senior security engineering roles.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Zscaler or similar Zero Trust/SASE technologies.
  • Experience with ZIA, ZPA, ZDX, Client Connector, App Connectors, CASB, DLP or Cloud Firewall.
  • Strong understanding of Zero Trust, NIST 800-207, SASE and SSE.
  • Good knowledge of IAM, including Entra ID/Azure AD, Okta or Ping.
  • Understanding of modern network security, including SD-WAN, DNS security and routing.
  • Experience with endpoint security and EDR/XDR technologies.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience working in large, complex enterprise environments.

What's in it for you

  • Hybrid working from London
  • 25 days' annual leave
  • Private medical insurance
  • 3 additional days' leave for charitable work
  • Opportunity to work on large-scale Zero Trust and cybersecurity transformation programmes
  • Exposure to leading security technologies and enterprise environments

Security Clearance:

Due to the nature of the client work, you will need to be willing to undergo security clearance. You will require 5+ years of UK address history at the point of application.

If you're a Zero Trust or security architect looking for a role where you can combine hands-on technical delivery, architecture and strategic security leadership, we'd be keen to hear from you.
