We are looking for a Cybersecurity Architect to join our cybersecurity team and play a key role in shaping how security is built into our technology landscape.
This is a role for someone with broad cybersecurity knowledge and strong architectural thinking, combined with deeper expertise in either Identity and Access Management (IAM) or DevSecOps.
You will help define the technical direction for cybersecurity, support major strategic initiatives, and work closely with colleagues across IT and the business to ensure security is built in from the start.
You will be part of a team working to strengthen cybersecurity across the VELUX Group through clear architecture principles, practical guidance, and continuous improvement. The role combines long-term roadmap ownership with hands-on involvement in strategic projects and technical decision-making.
What you will be doing
As Cybersecurity Architect, you will help define and drive the technical cybersecurity roadmap and ensure that security architecture supports both business priorities and the wider cybersecurity strategy.
Your responsibilities will include:
Owning and driving the technical cybersecurity roadmap
Acting as a cybersecurity subject matter expert in strategic initiatives and transformation programmes, such as cloud security initiatives and regulatory implementation projects
Defining and maintaining security architecture principles, standards, and reference patterns
Providing architectural guidance across key cybersecurity domains, including identity, cloud, application, infrastructure, data, and network security
Bringing deep expertise in either:
IAM, including identity architecture, authentication, authorisation, privileged access, federation, and lifecycle management, or
DevSecOps, including secure software delivery, CI/CD security, automation, code scanning, secrets management, and infrastructure-as-code security
Contributing to the development of the wider cybersecurity strategy and helping turn strategy into actionable technical plans
Driving technical cybersecurity improvement initiatives across the organisation
Working closely with enterprise architects, infrastructure teams, cloud teams, application teams, and risk and compliance stakeholders to embed security by design
Reviewing solution designs and major change initiatives to ensure alignment with security architecture principles
Monitoring trends, threats, and new technologies to continuously improve the organisation’s security capabilities
Maintaining clear architecture documentation, roadmaps, and design standards
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone who can combine strategic thinking with practical architectural guidance.
You should be comfortable working across a broad cybersecurity landscape while also bringing deeper expertise in either IAM or DevSecOps.
We expect that you bring:
Experience working in cybersecurity, with a strong background in security architecture, security engineering, or a similar technical role
Broad knowledge across multiple cybersecurity domains and the ability to assess end-to-end security impacts across systems, platforms, and applications
Experience designing and implementing security architecture in cloud environments, ideally Azure
Understanding of cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and relevant regulatory requirements (e.g. Cyber Resilience Act)
Experience supporting major technology or transformation programmes as a trusted security advisor
Ability to define target-state architectures, roadmaps, and transition plans
Understanding of secure architecture principles across cloud, hybrid infrastructure, enterprise applications, APIs, and data platforms
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across both technical and non-technical teams
A pragmatic and risk-based approach to security decision-making
What kind of person will thrive in this role
This role will suit someone who enjoys taking ownership, setting direction, and helping others make sound security decisions. You are likely someone who can see the bigger picture, but who also knows how to turn strategy into practical and usable architecture.
You work well across teams, communicate clearly, and are comfortable challenging and guiding stakeholders when needed. You are motivated by improving security in a way that is both meaningful and realistic for the organization.
Why join us
This is an opportunity to take a central role in shaping the technical cybersecurity direction of an enterprise. You will contribute to important strategic initiatives, influence how security is embedded across technology platforms, and help drive lasting improvements to the overall security posture.
If you are looking for a role where you can combine architecture, strategy, and practical impact, this role is a great match.
