Role: Enterprise Cyber Security Architect

Location: RG7 4PR, located between Reading and Basingstoke, with free onsite parking.

Package: Starting from £50,060p.a (depending on your suitability, qualifications, and level of experience)

Working pattern: AWE operates a 9-day working fortnight. We will consider flexible working requests so that your work may fit in with your lifestyle. Just let us know your preferred working pattern on your application.

Let us introduce the role:

The Cyber Security Architect will work with the Cyber Security Architecture Lead to contribute to the cyber security controls that protect information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) at AWE from all manner of global threats.

This role will work with Change, Transformation, Run and Secure colleagues to support the AWE mission, through contribution to the delivery of security roadmaps, design patterns, and reference architectures.

Key Accountabilities:

  • Security Requirements: Accountable for understanding business objectives, user needs, and security obligations as directed by the Cyber Security Architecture Lead.

  • Technical Risk Oversight: Providing analysis of technical cyber risk and supporting security testing activities, in partnership with the Information Assurance team.
  • Capability Development: Contribution to the capability of the Cyber Security Architecture team through research and delivery of new artefacts, as directed by the Cyber Security Architecture Lead.
  • Performance and Inclusion: Accountable for contributing to a high team performance, promoting a diverse and inclusive environment, continuous improvement and personal development.
  • Health, Safety, Security and Quality: Accountable for maintaining and promoting high personal and team standards in environment, safety, health, security, and quality.

Essential Criteria:

  • Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or equivalent
  • A bachelor’s degree in either computer science or systems development, or relevant experience.
  • Previous experience as a Security Architect or similar role designing security controls.
  • Specialist in at least one and good appreciation of all technical aspects of IT systems (e.g. voice, data and/or control networks, servers, storage, data centre)
  • Familiar with the security demands of defence IT systems
  • Willing to undertake travel.

Work hard, be rewarded:

We ask a lot and set the bar high because our work truly matters. In return we offer balance, with award winning benefits including:

  • 9-day working fortnight – meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
  • Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).
  • Family friendly policies: Maternity Leave - 39 Weeks Full Pay and Paternity Leave - 4 Weeks Full Pay.
  • Opportunities for Professional Career Development including funding for annual membership of a relevant professional body.
  • Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services.
  • Life Assurance (4 x annual salary).
  • Discounts – access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending.
  • Special Leave Policy including paid time off for volunteering, public service (including reserve forces) and caring.

All candidates must be willing and able to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance for this role.

Next steps:

Everyone who works at AWE brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. We recognise that great people don’t always ‘tick every box’. That’s why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills as well as your experience. Even if you don’t meet every point above, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we’d love to receive your application.

Important things you need to know:

  • We encourage you to apply promptly to avoid disappointment if applications are high and the role therefore closes.
  • You will need to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for the role. This will be funded by AWE. The nature of our work does mean you need to be a British Citizen who has been resident in the UK for the past 5 years in order to apply for SC clearance and 10 years for DV.
  • We want you to feel comfortable and able to shine during our recruitment process. Please let us know on your application form if you need any adjustments/accommodations during the process.
  • Our interviews typically take place over Teams and for most roles are a 1 stage process.

Our ambition is to create workplaces where we recognise and celebrate differences, encourage diverse contributions and our employees feel able to be themselves at work. We strive to create a genuine culture of openness and inclusion and encourage diverse applicants. Any inclusion information you provide will be stored in accordance with GDPR and kept separate from your application form and CV, and the information will not be shared with anyone involved in interviewing or making hiring decisions.

Please note that you must be a British Citizen to apply for a role with us.

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.
