Senior IT Security Architect – Financial Services – Lugano / Hybrid
(Key skills: IT Security Architecture, Cybersecurity, Security Frameworks, Cloud Security, Network & System Security, Identity & Access Management, Secure Design, Threat Modelling, Security Standards (ISO 27001, NIST), Risk Management, Architecture Governance, Stakeholder Advisory)
Are you an experienced security architect with a passion for designing robust, scalable and compliant security solutions in complex environments? Do you want to work at the forefront of protecting critical financial services platforms and customer data? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to influence security strategy and shape secure architectures at scale.
Our client, a highly reputable financial services organisation, is seeking a Senior IT Security Architect to lead the design and implementation of enterprise-level security architectures across business-critical systems. You will play a strategic role in shaping how secure digital services are delivered across the organisation, advising on security standards, controls and optimisations that protect both customers and internal operations.
As Senior IT Security Architect, you will partner with cross-functional teams including cloud engineering, software development, infrastructure, risk and compliance. You will define secure architecture patterns for both on-premise and cloud services, review designs and implementations, and ensure alignment with regulatory and internal security requirements. You’ll be instrumental in developing threat models, conducting security risk assessments and embedding secure design principles into project lifecycles.
In this role, you will develop security reference architectures, recommend security controls, and guide technical teams on secure implementation practices. You will be a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, providing insight on emerging threats, vulnerability mitigations and compliance obligations. You’ll help maintain and enhance the organisation’s security frameworks and contribute to continuous improvement of security governance and monitoring capabilities.
The ideal candidate will bring extensive experience in security architecture — particularly within financial services, banking or other regulated sectors — and a strong understanding of security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, OWASP and CIS Controls. You’ll be comfortable working with cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS), identity and access management solutions, encryption technologies and enterprise networking/security stacks. Your ability to communicate complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders will be key to your success.
This is a rare opportunity to own security architecture for an organisation where digital innovation, data protection and security best practices are integral to the business strategy. You’ll join a collaborative team that values experience, initiative and leadership — and you’ll have significant influence over the future of secure technology delivery.
