  • Participate in technology evaluations and architecture reviews to ensure alignment with enterprise security standards and risk management goals.
  • Partner with IT and business stakeholder leaders to embed cybersecurity architecture into transformation, modernization, and M&A initiatives.
  • Ensure security architectures support scalability, interoperability, operational sustainability, and measurable risk reduction outcomes.
  • Collaborate with Cybersecurity Defense Operations to ensure designs support effective detection, response, and operational supportability through logging and monitoring requirements.
  • Support regional deployments of security platforms and architectures aligned to global standards while accommodating local operational constraints.
  • Partner with regional IT and plant technology teams to address location-specific architectural challenges.


Professional & Education Qualification:

  • Strong collaboration skills across IT, OT, Digital, and business stakeholders.
  • Decision-making skills balancing risk reduction, cost, and operational impact.
  • Clear communication skills for both technical and executive audiences.
  • Ability to produce clear architecture documentation and implementation guidance that accelerates consistent delivery.


Knowledge:
  • Strong knowledge across cybersecurity architecture domains including identity, network security, cloud security, endpoint protection, product/application security, and logging.
  • Understanding of zero-trust and defense-in-depth architectural models.
  • Familiarity with industrial and manufacturing technology environments and constraints, including OT-adjacent considerations.
