Security Architect

At IVC Evidensia, we're on a mission to protect what matters most - our people, our data, and our digital environments. As one of the world's leading veterinary care providers, our global footprint and rapid growth bring exciting challenges and opportunities in cybersecurity.

We're looking for a Security Architect to join our Information Security team and help shape the future of secure development across our organisation. If you're passionate about designing secure systems, enabling DevSecOps practices, and influencing strategic decisions, this is your chance to make a real impact.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and maintain security architecture blueprints that guide secure service deployment across IT and digital teams.
• Collaborate with development squads to ensure cloud environments (AWS, Azure) are securely configured and aligned with best practices.
• Champion DevSecOps, integrating security into the development lifecycle and fostering a culture of secure coding.
• Advise IT and project teams, offering clear, actionable guidance on secure design principles and helping navigate security challenges.
• Stay ahead of emerging threats, evaluating new technologies and their impact on our business.
• Support compliance and audit efforts, ensuring our systems meet regulatory and internal standards.
• Be part of a fast-paced, global organisation with a strong purpose and a collaborative culture.
• Work on diverse, high-impact projects that span multiple regions and business units.
• Enjoy flexible working arrangements, with remote options and occasional travel.
• Grow your career in a team that values innovation, autonomy, and continuous learning.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in Information Security, ideally in a Security Architect role.
• Deep knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and security frameworks (NIST, ISO, OWASP, CIS).
• Experience in secure development practices, DevSecOps, and risk/threat modelling.
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset with the ability to work independently and manage multiple projects.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Relevant certifications (e.g. CISSP, CISM, CEH) and a strong desire to keep learning.

If you're excited by the idea of shaping security strategy in a global organisation and working with cutting-edge technologies, we'd love to hear from you.
