A new opportunity has arisen to work on a high-profile transformation programme within the MoD that will have a significant impact on the UK’s future military capability.

This role is key to the successful delivery of the transformation programme and requires a versatile individual who can operate in a senior technical capacity and work effectively with customer and delivery teams.

The Role

Joining at an early stage of the transformation programme, the role of the Security Architect will be to serve as a Cyber Security expert in the overall system architecture, focused on both Information Assurance and Cyber Security (but also elements of Physical and Personnel security).

You will lead security interactions while developing and managing security vision, strategies and roadmaps. You will develop a deep understanding of relevant security requirements, apply design principles to security architectures and ensure alignment to relevant standards (eg. ISO27001, NIST, MoD standards).

Requirements

This programme requires an innovative security professional, passionate about improving security standards with experience of driving success in MoD (or government) environments.

The Security Architect will be comfortable articulating architectural requirements to a range of technical and non-technical audiences, will be able to work collaboratively and have a deep understanding of risk.

A broad understanding of cloud technologies would be highly advantageous along with knowledge of TOGAF or MODAF. Certifications such as CISSP, CISM or CRISC would be beneficial but not essential.

Security Clearance

A min. of SC is required for this role.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
