<p class="text-muted mb-3">Security Architect (305lw) Security Cleared – UK Remote – £75,000k-£85,000k plus, + Benefits</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">Are you an ex-military cyber, communications, security engineering or architecture professional who wants to take your technical experience into a specialist defence role?</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EX MILITARY.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">I’m working on a Security Architect opportunity supporting a high-assurance UK defence programme and this is one for someone who wants to get into the technical detail, not simply produce architecture diagrams.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The programme is already in development and moving from Minimum Viable Product (MVP) towards operational capability, with the successful candidate joining a long-term team responsible for taking secure-by-design principles into real-world defence delivery.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">You’ll be operating as a principal-level technical security lead, working alongside Security-by-Design specialists, Solution Architects, DevOps and security assurance teams.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The work will involve areas such as:</p>

</ul>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">This isn't simply an architecture translation role.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The client is looking for someone who understands the technical realities of building secure defence capability — particularly how you take a developing capability from MVP through productionalisation and into secure operational delivery.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">You could come from a traditional Security Architecture background or be a strong cyber/security/network engineer who has moved into architecture and technical leadership.</p>

</ul>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The client values defence experience and credibility, but just as importantly is looking for someone who is low ego, collaborative, inclusive and comfortable operating as part of a technically strong team.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">It’s preferred if candidates are based South Coast / South-Centrally, but not essential.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">If you're an ex-Service cyber/security professional who has moved into architecture I'd be very interested in speaking with you.</p>
