Lead Security Architect (Digital Architecture and Design) - C2

As Lead Security Architect, you will set the security direction for major digital platforms, influence decisions at senior levels and work with multidisciplinary teams to design secure services at scale. You will combine strategic thinking with hands-on architectural leadership, helping teams manage risk, embed security by design and respond to a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Your expertise will help ensure digital services remain secure, sustainable and aligned with organisational goals while supporting Scotland's wider digital transformation. You will work closely with our Cloud Engineering, Application Development and Component Based Service Delivery Teams.

Our architecture practice brings together people, technology and strategy to help create a fair, green and digitally inclusive Scotland. We provide the architectural foundations that allow government teams to deliver secure, scalable and sustainable digital services that improve the lives of people across Scotland.

Our vision is to create a trusted architectural foundation that empowers government to deliver better digital outcomes through collaboration, consistency and the adoption of best practice.

This is an opportunity to apply your expertise to challenges that matter. In return, we offer the chance to work on meaningful national programmes alongside experienced digital professionals, supported by flexible hybrid working, a 35-hour working week, strong pension provision, a Government Digital and Data (GDD) pay supplement and a healthy work-life balance.
