Cyber Security Architect, Global, ISO27001; London WC2; £130k

A career-defining opportunity for an energetic technical specialist to safeguard a complex, worldwide technology estate. Reporting directly to the IT Director, this senior individual contributor role is designed for a technical powerhouse who has personally spearheaded global certifications and can weave a DevSecOps philosophy into a worldwide production environment.

Why join this global leader? This is a high-octane senior individual contributor position that allows you to focus entirely on technical architecture and global strategy with no people management duties.

You should apply if you want:

• Dynamic Autonomy: Reporting to the IT Director, you will be the primary authority responsible for managing and maturing a sophisticated Global SOC.
• Personal Legacy: This role is for the person who has "done it"—you must have personally led an organization to achieve ISO27001 certification, not just overseen it.
• Ultimate Flexibility: Enjoy a heavily hybrid working model, primarily UK only, while protecting an estate that spans the Americas, Europe, and Australia.

You will be joining an elite, worldwide corporation with a massive international footprint and a culture that prizes energy and innovation. With a vast user base spanning the Americas, Europe, and Australia, the technology environment is complex, requiring a leader who understands the specific security nuances of each territory. This organization operates within highly regulated sectors and is currently maturing its DevSecOps capabilities. They need a specialist who is passionate about protection and can ensure their Global SOC provides world-class detection.

The Role: As the Global Cyber Security Architect, you will be the technical engine behind the organization’s global digital integrity. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing the Global SOC to ensure proactive threat hunting and rapid incident response across all global time zones.
• Implementing a cutting-edge DevSecOps approach to ensure security is automated and embedded within the CI/CD pipeline.
• Maintaining the ISO27001 standard that you have the proven, battle-tested experience of achieving from the ground up.
• Aligning global security protocols with regional requirements, including NIST (Americas) and Essential 8 (Australia).
• Acting as the sole, energetic technical lead for vulnerability management and endpoint security across the worldwide estate.

Why has this role arisen? The organization is shifting toward a more automated, integrated security model and requires a "doer" rather than a delegator. This position was created to give the IT Director a technical partner who has the experience of achieving ISO27001 and the modern skills to manage a Global SOC. By removing people management, the business is empowering you to be the primary driver of technical security excellence globally.
