Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom National Highways Full time
Head of Enterprise Security Architecture Role Overview

As the Head of Enterprise Security Architecture at National Highways, you will be responsible for overseeing and leading the provision of security architecture services to change initiatives. This involves aligning and coordinating with wider architecture governance functions to advise on and deliver a comprehensive enterprise (IT) and operational technology (OT) security architecture that reduces both the probability and impact of a cyber attack against National Highways.

This is a hybrid role, which can be based from any main National Highways office. Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Own, improve and articulate the Highways England enterprise and operational technology security architecture.
  • Oversee wider architectural governance functions, ensuring all change initiatives are reviewed and supported to ensure alignment with the enterprise and operational technology security architecture.
  • Set the direction for external partners to influence cyber security related regulatory requirements and ensure that change initiatives are aligned with those requirements.
  • Be accountable for overseeing and maintaining appropriate technical security guidance documentation in support of wider security policies.
  • Maintain the effectiveness of core enterprise and operational technology security capabilities.
  • Manage, decide mitigations for and resolve architecture/cyber security related risk.

You will hold relevant Cyber Security qualifications in either of the following:

  • BSc/MSc in Cyber Security, Computer Science or related subject;
  • CISSP, GICSP, Senior CCP (Architect) or similar Security Architecture qualification;
  • CCSP, CCSK or similar Cloud Security qualification.

You will have a demonstrable track record of leading a team of Security Architects along with a background of delivering security architecture in both OT and IT domains. Experience of delivering security architecture to meet NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework requirements is essential. You will be able to translate security impacts into business consequences and take business requirements and propose corresponding security requirements.

The Digital Services Directorate is a growing and vibrant team, and this is an exciting opportunity to join us as we go through our transformation programme. We are helping to transform the way National Highways operates by delivering digital, data and technology services from frontline to back office, in a modern and efficient way. Our vision is to develop integrated information and technology that empowers our colleagues and provides real-time information to our customers, integration with intelligent vehicle and transport systems as they develop, to improve journey safety and reliability.

We believe in a connected country and are proud that as an organisation we are continually striving to do better and actively encourage and support our colleagues to do the same with their careers.
