Remote work

<p>Intelance is an independent UK advisory firm working across enterprise architecture, cyber security and technology assurance. We support complex and regulated organisations that need independent, evidence-based decisions about security risk and system design.</p>
<p>We are appointing a small number of Principal Enterprise Security Architects to our associate panel.</p>
<p>This is not permanent employment. Assignments will be offered according to client demand, suitability and availability. There is no guaranteed volume of work.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<p>You may be asked to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lead independent security architecture reviews for complex enterprise environments.</li>
<li>Assess cloud, on-premises and hybrid architectures across identity, networks, endpoints, applications, platforms and data.</li>
<li>Review security requirements, architecture decisions, trust boundaries and control designs.</li>
<li>Carry out threat modelling and identify credible attack paths and design weaknesses.</li>
<li>Assess identity and access management, network segmentation, encryption, logging, resilience and recovery arrangements.</li>
<li>Judge whether proposed alternative controls provide equivalent protection.</li>
<li>Review high-level and detailed designs and challenge unsupported assumptions.</li>
<li>Work alongside governance and risk advisors, enterprise architects and technical assessors.</li>
<li>Turn technical findings into clear decisions and recommendations for executives and boards.</li>
<li>Produce client-ready architecture findings, diagrams and assurance reports.</li>
<li>Complete scheme-specific training and participate in internal quality reviews where required.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p>You should have:</p>
<ul>
<li>Substantial experience as a Principal Security Architect, Enterprise Security Architect or security design authority.</li>
<li>Experience designing or assuring complex systems in large or regulated organisations.</li>
<li>Strong knowledge of secure-by-design principles, threat modelling and architecture assurance.</li>
<li>Practical experience across cloud, hybrid infrastructure, identity, networks, applications and data security.</li>
<li>The ability to distinguish genuine security requirements from unnecessary complexity.</li>
<li>Excellent written English and the ability to explain technical risks to non-technical decision-makers.</li>
</ul>
<p>We are particularly interested in applicants who hold:</p>
<ul>
<li>UK Cyber Security Council professional registration at Principal or Chartered level in Secure System Architecture &amp; Design.</li>
</ul>
<p>We will also consider candidates who can demonstrate experience aligned with Chartered level and are willing to undergo formal professional assessment.</p>
<p>SABSA, TOGAF, CISSP, CCSP and cloud architecture certifications are useful, but do not replace the professional registration requirement.</p>
<p>You must be based in the UK, able to attend UK client sites when agreed, and able to contract through a limited company or another compliant arrangement.</p>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li>Senior architecture and assurance assignments.</li>
<li>Flexible associate working based on your availability.</li>
<li>Direct access to Intelance leadership.</li>
<li>Work alongside experienced enterprise architects, risk advisors and technical assessors.</li>
<li>Clear scopes and independent advisory responsibilities.</li>
<li>Potential inclusion in Intelance proposals and associate credentials, subject to agreement.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please provide:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your CV and LinkedIn profile.</li>
<li>Your exact UK Cyber Security Council registration, specialism and registration number or public profile.</li>
<li>If you are not registered, a short explanation of why your experience meets Chartered level.</li>
<li>One example of a complex enterprise architecture you personally designed or assured.</li>
<li>Your location, availability and expected day rate.</li>
<li>Details of your architecture, cyber-assurance and scheme-related qualifications.</li>
</ul>
