Senior Security Architect

Security Architectrequired for one of Glasgow's most prestigious professional services firms, on a 12 month Fixed-Term contract (with a real chance of becoming permanent). They currently have a team of 10 Architects, and you will be working across both Security and the Architecture team. This role is a 12-month Fixed-Term contract, however there is real opportunity for this to become permanent with the direction the company is going in. The company are currently going through a digital transformation and they have a number of tech roles.

They operate across a number of countries and are in the process of reviewing all of the business services offerings. These roles are sitting within the Enterprise Architecture function and you can be either an experienced Security Architect, or a more technical security resource who has spanned some form of architecture.

This is a new position across the organisation, and you will work closely alongside two other Security Architects, as well as the wider security function. Although the idea is to have 50/50 split of project work to BAU, this role is more likely to be around 70% project focus, with a number of new initiatives at play. This includes a secure web gateway and cloud access security broker implementation, as well as a privileged access management project. There is plenty to be getting on with.

The company you will be joining are undertaking large scale business change and there is plenty of work to be done now and moving forward. They treat their employees extremely well and have continued to grow over the last 5 years. They are looking for someone who can get into the Glasgow office, ideally a few times a week.

How to Find Hidden Cyber Security Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, CIISec & More

The demand for skilled cyber security professionals in the UK has never been higher. With threats increasing in sophistication and frequency, organisations are urgently hiring ethical hackers, threat analysts, GRC specialists, and security architects. But many of the most valuable roles—particularly in government, defence, and critical infrastructure—are never publicly advertised. Instead, these jobs are shared behind the scenes through trusted networks, private communities, and professional bodies. In this article, we explore how to uncover hidden cyber security jobs in the UK using organisations like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), CIISec (The Chartered Institute of Information Security), ISACA, and ISC² UK Chapter. We’ll show you how to use membership directories, special interest groups, CPD events and informal networks to gain early access to roles most people never see.

How to Get a Better Cyber Security Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

But if you’ve recently been made redundant from a cyber security role, know this: the UK cyber workforce remains in high demand, and your expertise is more valuable than ever. Whether you’re a SOC analyst, penetration tester, incident responder, security architect or GRC specialist, there are still thousands of opportunities across sectors including finance, defence, government, retail, and critical infrastructure. This guide will help you turn redundancy into a career relaunch, with a clear action plan tailored to the UK cyber security job market.

Cyber Security Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Check Your Market Value in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey no longer protects you. “Could I earn more at a managed SOC?” “Is that fintech’s offer really competitive?” Every UK cyber‑security professional asks some version of those questions—usually after another colleague lands a pay rise, a recruiter sends a tempting JD, or a fresh breach makes headline news. Yet salary guides published even last year feel as out‑of‑date as a forgotten antivirus signature. Since 2024, ransomware gangs switched to double‑extortion, deepfake phishing exploded, & the EU’s NIS2/DORA regulations bled into UK contracts despite Brexit. With each shift, salary bands move. To cut through stale averages, CybersecurityJobs.tech distilled a three‑factor formula that lets you estimate a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your role, your UK region, & your seniority level. The output arms you with data‑driven leverage for your next appraisal, job application, or freelance rate card. This article explains the formula, reveals the forces pushing cyber pay ever higher, & outlines five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.
