A leading financial services company in Atlanta is seeking an experienced Enterprise Security Architect to drive the development and execution of a comprehensive security strategy. This role is critical in ensuring cybersecurity resilience, aligning security initiatives with business objectives, and safeguarding against evolving threats.

Key Responsibilities:

Security Strategy & Roadmap

  • Define and implement a long-term security strategy aligned with business goals, IT strategy, and regulatory requirements.
  • Develop a multi-year security roadmap, outlining cybersecurity investments, capabilities, and enhancements.

Security Architecture Framework

  • Establish a robust enterprise security architecture framework (e.g., SABSA, TOGAF, Zero Trust).
  • Develop security reference architectures for network security, cloud security, application security, and endpoint security.
  • Implement Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) principles, enforcing identity-centric security, least privilege access, and continuous verification.
  • Conduct cyber risk assessments using methodologies such as NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), FAIR Model, or ISO 27005.

Security Governance & Compliance

  • Develop and enforce security policies, standards, and guidelines to ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, PCI DSS, SOC 2).
  • Establish governance structures, such as Security Steering Committees, to oversee cybersecurity programs.
  • Ensure audit readiness and facilitate security audits and certifications.
  • Embed security principles into Enterprise Architecture (EA) by collaborating with IT, DevOps, and engineering teams.
  • Implement secure-by-design principles in cloud, application, and infrastructure development.
  • Promote DevSecOps practices to integrate security early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Threat Intelligence & Cyber Resilience

  • Develop a proactive Threat Intelligence Program to monitor emerging cyber threats and attack trends.
  • Implement a Cyber Resilience Strategy, including business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery (DR).

Security Awareness & Culture

  • Foster a security-first culture by developing awareness programs and cybersecurity training for employees, developers, and executive leadership.
  • Conduct phishing simulations, secure coding workshops, and executive-level cybersecurity briefings.

Continuous Improvement & Security Metrics

  • Define and monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to assess security effectiveness.
  • Leverage security automation and AI-driven analytics to enhance threat detection and incident response.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience as an Enterprise Security Architect, preferably within fintech or financial services.
  • Hands-on expertise in designing and implementing security frameworks, architectures, and compliance initiatives.
  • Strong understanding of cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP), network security, and application security.
  • Familiarity with risk assessment frameworks and security governance.
  • Experience working in small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is highly desirable.
  • Ability to take ownership of security strategies, drive initiatives from inception, and make key decisions.
