The Organisation

Join a global financial services organisation with a strong track record of innovation and over 50 years of unbroken profitability. With operations in more than 30 markets, the business is powered by a world-class technology division that plays a critical role in securing digital platforms and enabling fast, secure delivery at scale. You’ll be part of a collaborative and high-performing Cyber Security team focused on driving real outcomes and supporting secure growth across the enterprise.

About The Role

You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders, engineering teams, and project leads to ensure that security is embedded into every stage of the technology lifecycle. This role involves both structured, repeatable risk assessments and more exploratory security design engagements for new platforms and tools. You’ll help teams understand the “why” behind security recommendations, formulate risk statements, and guide them in applying security best practices within business constraints.

• Provide security architecture input across a broad range of initiatives, including application development, cloud infrastructure, and network changes
• Perform technical security assessments and articulate risks clearly to stakeholders at various levels (from Associates to ADs)
• Participate in the design and review of logical and physical security architectures
• Work on security control standardisation and documentation to streamline processes across business lines
• Partner with engineers and delivery teams to support secure-by-design principles in Agile and Waterfall environments
• Support threat modelling and architecture reviews for new applications, systems, and integrations

• Identity and Access Management (IAM)
• Infrastructure and network protection (including proxies, firewalls - Palo Alto or Netskope preferred)
• Application security and secure development (Java, React, Angular familiarity ideal)
• Container and cloud security (Kubernetes, AWS or GCP)
• Tools such as SCA, static code analysis, or vulnerability scanners
• Experience in risk assessment and the ability to clearly communicate and document risk-based decisions
• Exposure to engineering or hands-on security solution design is a plus
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders
• Adaptable, coachable, and comfortable working in fast-moving or evolving environments
  
  

Why You’ll Thrive Here

• Be part of a collaborative team where ideas are welcomed, and your voice matters
• Work across a wide variety of tickets and engagements — from firewall changes to new product reviews
• Join a culture that values continuous improvement, diverse perspectives, and pragmatic security
• Enjoy the pace and innovation of a startup mindset within a globally established organisation
