As our Security Architecture Manager, you'll be the driving force that ensures Anglian Water’s technology ecosystem — across both IT and OT — is designed for true cyber resilience. In a world where threats evolve daily, you’ll lead the charge in making sure we stay ahead of the curve, championing cutting-edge security controls and embedding secure-by-design principles into everything we build. This is a role for someone who loves depth and breadth. You’ll bring expert security knowledge and a strong grasp of our platforms — understanding each component, how they work together, and, most importantly, how to secure them. You’ll take ownership of shaping and maintaining our cyber security strategy, roadmap, and policies, turning them into practical, future-ready guidance for the entire organisation. Working hand-in-hand with Enterprise, Platform, and Solution Architects, you’ll ensure our technology solutions are cohesive, compliant, and aligned with our strategic goals. You’ll review and sign off design documentation, influence key decisions, and help teams understand the wider business and technical impact of their choices. You’ll also stay plugged into the cyber security marketplace — building relationships with leading vendors, suppliers, and analysts to spot emerging threats, technologies, and opportunities. Your insight will help us assess what really matters and where we can create value. A major part of your impact will come from leading the development of our security technology roadmap. This blueprint will shape operational, tactical, and strategic priorities across DDAT, helping secure funding, define key cyber programmes, and steer the direction of future projects. As the technical security interface for a wide range of initiatives, you’ll make sure all changes are risk-assessed and aligned to our cyber strategy. You’ll also ensure that all technology solutions — including those created outside DDAT — meet the right security, privacy (GDPR), and compliance (PCI-DSS, NIS, ISO27001) standards. If you’re ready to play a pivotal role in protecting critical services and shaping the future of cyber security at Anglian Water, this is your chance. What You’ll Be Doing As Cyber Security Architecture Manager, you’ll own and shape Anglian Water’s entire cyber technology landscape. You’ll define the roadmap, standards and principles that guide all our security technologies, ensuring they evolve with our business needs and the threat landscape. From understanding product lifecycles and assessing risk, to overseeing secure solution design, you’ll translate strategic intent into funded, deliverable cyber programmes. You’ll work closely with architects and project teams to make sure every solution is secure by design and aligned with corporate standards. You’ll provide expert guidance, drive best practice, support testing, and champion cyber initiatives that strengthen resilience and enable ongoing modernisation. You’ll lead the creation, maintenance and optimisation of our long-term cyber security strategy and technology roadmap — collaborating with vendors, partners and suppliers to assess new trends, challenge proposals, maximise value from existing investments, and shape future cyber capabilities. And as a key leader within the organisation, you’ll build a high-performing team, inspire collaboration, drive continuous improvement, and act as a role model for innovation, curiosity and our core values. You’ll communicate insight, champion wellbeing, empower your team, and help shape a culture where security, efficiency and positive impact are at the heart of everything we do.
