We’re looking for a technically astute Security Architect who can bring clarity to complexity and confidence to cloud-first design. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping secure architecture across our organisation; supporting squads, guiding integrations, and ensuring our approach to security is consistent, scalable, and aligned with business needs.
This is a hands-on role blending enterprise and technical security architecture. You’ll collaborate with engineers, architects, and stakeholders to solve engineering puzzles, articulate risks, and drive secure-by-design principles, from high-level strategy to detailed implementation.
If you can communicate with clarity across technical and non-technical audiences, we want to hear from you.
At Our Future Health, our mission is to transform the prevention, detection and treatment of conditions such as dementia, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. We’re looking for people to join us on our journey. If you’re looking for a new challenge where you can contribute to helping future generations live in good health for longer, then we’re keen to speak with you.
What you’ll be doing
- Leading the development of enterprise and technical security architecture across projects and platforms.
- Providing expert security guidance to squads, including product managers, engineers, and data teams.
- Collaborating with Cloud and Application Security Engineers to embed security throughout system lifecycles.
- Partnering with technical and data architects to ensure architectural alignment and integration.
- Leading threat modelling activities and ensuring outputs are reflected in system designs.
- Ensuring our security architecture, and the controls that implement it, align to the threats we face and our organisation’s objectives.
- Driving consistency and standardisation in security practices across the organisation.
- Communicating security risks and requirements clearly to diverse audiences.
- Contributing to key initiatives such as Participant Feedback, Engagement, and Recontact.
- Participating in wider engineering initiatives to evolve secure and effective ways of working.
What you won’t be doing

- Working in a place where you can’t see the impact your expertise makes.
