TL;DR · Security Architect

The Managing Director, Security Architect is a senior leadership role responsible for defining and leading the firm's horizontal security architecture across AI Security, Data Protection, Cryptography, and Post-Quantum Cryptography. Reporting to the SVP, Data & AI Security, this leader will build a unified architectural vision by establishing shared standards, guardrails, and reference designs across these four disciplines. Daily responsibilities include setting multi-year roadmaps, managing the Post-Quantum Cryptography transition, and integrating secure-by-default patterns into DevSecOps pipelines. The role requires deep expertise in encryption, key management, machine identity, and securing GenAI tools against threats like prompt injection and data poisoning. The candidate must navigate complex regulatory requirements including FFIEC, NIST, and GDPR while translating technical risks into actionable business decisions for executive leadership.

What you'll do

  • Define and steward a unified enterprise security architecture spanning AI, Data Protection, Cryptography, and PQC.
  • Establish shared architecture standards, guardrails, and reference designs to ensure consistency across security domains.
  • Lead the enterprise cryptographic architecture and own the Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) transition roadmap.
  • Set AI security architecture direction, including secure-by-default patterns for GenAI tools and AI agents.
  • Define architecture patterns for data discovery, classification, DLP, and automated protection controls.
  • Integrate security architecture into DevSecOps pipelines through paved-road platforms and policy-as-code.
  • Ensure all architecture standards align with global regulatory expectations including NIST, ISO, and GDPR.
  • Build and lead a high-performing team of domain architects across AI, Data, and Cryptography.

What we're looking for

  • 15+ years of experience in security architecture, security engineering, or related disciplines.
  • Demonstrated leadership across multiple security domains, ideally spanning AI security, data protection, and cryptography.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise in cryptographic architecture, PQC transition, and cryptographic agility (CBOM).
  • Proven experience designing and scaling secure cloud-native architectures in large, regulated environments.
  • Hands-on experience securing AI/ML and GenAI systems, including governance, data protection, and model risk.
  • Strong background in regulatory audits, control remediation, and executive-level risk communication.
  • Experience leading global, multidisciplinary architecture or engineering teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or a related field (advanced degree preferred).
  • Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or architecture certifications (preferred).
