The posting

Ankura is a team of excellence founded on innovation and growth.

Position Summary: The Cloud Security Architect performs cloud security posture and configuration reviews to identify misconfigurations, security control gaps, support migrations, and opportunities for improvement. This role executes assessment workflows using CSPM-based approaches and delivers clear, prioritized recommendations aligned with client objectives and relevant standards. This is remote based in the United States.

Please note that this role requires permanent authorization to work in the U.S. (i.e. U.S. citizen or permanent resident).

Responsibilities:

  • Conduct cloud configuration and security posture reviews using CSPM approaches and automated scanning methods aligned with Ankura cloud assessment practices.
  • Assess cloud configurations against predefined requirements and map gaps to common standards and regulatory expectations referenced in client deliverables, such as NIST, ISO, and CIS.
  • Analyze results and deliver client-ready reports that include prioritized remediation recommendations and actionable roadmaps.
  • Support reviews across key cloud security domains commonly covered in cloud assessments, including identity and access, network segmentation, logging and monitoring, workload configuration, and security governance.
  • Collaborate with engagement leads and stakeholders to validate findings and ensure recommendations are practical and aligned with the client’s operating model.
  • Work with clients and business leaders to support statements of work (SOWs) and engagement delivery.
  • Work cross-functionally with IT, engineering, and security stakeholders to drive adoption of cloud security controls and operational improvements.

Requirements:

  • Bachelors degree or equivalent experience
  • 3-5 years of relevant experience
  • Cloud Certificate (Azure /AWS/GPC) required
  • Experience delivering cloud security assessments for Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and/or AWS environments, including configuration analysis and remediation planning; experience with GCP and Oracle Cloud is a plus.
  • Experience configuring Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft Purview is a plus.
  • Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce structured executive summaries and detailed findings and recommendations.
  • Hands-on experience implementing, migrating, and operating security controls in Microsoft Azure and/or Microsoft 365 environments.
  • Practical knowledge of identity and access management patterns in Microsoft cloud environments (for example, Entra ID and privileged access concepts).
  • Experience implementing security governance and controls that support compliance and risk management expectations in cloud environments.
  • Experience with CSPM tools and workflows used in cloud posture reviews, such as Prisma Cloud or Zscaler Posture Control is preferred.
  • Experience with cloud security posture management and configuration review programs, including translating findings into prioritized remediation plans is preferred.
  • Familiarity with security frameworks commonly used in cloud assessments, including NIST, ISO, and CIS mappings is preferred
  • Willingness to travel as needed (approximately 25%)
  • Please note that this role requires permanent authorization to work in the U.S. (i.e. U.S. citizen or permanent resident).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
