- 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.

- 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
