Job Description

Trusted to see the whole picture.

If you're ahead of the game on cyber security, systems and operations risk, we can secure your career ambitions.

Our Security Architects are trusted to work closely with a wide range of clients from all sectors on exciting projects with real-world purpose and impact. Whether you're a self-starter looking to test your talents, or want the opportunity to use your experience and skills, you'll find the challenges and support you need as part of one of the UK's largest cyber consultancies.

Our roles are only available if you hold or fulfil the criteria to obtain the highest level of UK Security Clearance.

Your future duties and responsibilities
You'll join a collaborative team of more than 230 members delivering 360° security services to clients across every domain that CGI operates in, from government, defence, healthcare and utilities to banking and financial services.

As a Security Architect, your innovative solutions and support will secure business systems, protecting what is most valuable to our clients.

You'll collaborate across enterprise architectures to produce end-to-end security designs, assisting on bids and proposals, as well as implementations and integrations. Liaising with stakeholders at all levels, you'll help build the full landscape security view that underpins systems resilience and client confidence. We need senior members who are design authorities, and junior members to work alongside them, developing their skills and understanding.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role
We're recruiting at all levels, so you'll have between 1 to 30+ years of experience consulting on delivering and implementing secure system design - ideally as a technical security lead for senior roles. You'll understand why security is at the centre of everything we do, and have the communication skills to persuade others, justifying secure architecture design to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

We'll also look for your experience and knowledge in:

  1. Security standards and frameworks (MoD and HMG experiences helpful)
  2. Cloud-based cyber security principles and architecture points
  3. Boundary controls, network segmentation and access control
  4. Identity and Access Management (including RBAC and A/PBAC, permissions management)
  5. Cryptographic techniques and implementations
  6. IT asset management and tracking
  7. Vulnerability Management and Patching
  8. SIEM principles, products and supporting logging infrastructure
  9. Containerisation and virtual machine security
  10. Delivering secure solutions against project expectations
  11. Strong awareness of and commitment to industry best practice
  12. Driving change in a complex environment


This role requires you to hold or fulfil the criteria to obtain a UK Security Clearance.

Together, as owners, let's turn meaningful insights into action.

Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you'll reach your full potential because...

You are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life. That's why we call ourselves CGI Partners rather than employees. We benefit from our collective success and actively shape our company's strategy and direction.

Your work creates value. You'll develop innovative solutions and build relationships with teammates and clients while accessing global capabilities to scale your ideas, embrace new opportunities, and benefit from expansive industry and technology expertise.

You'll shape your career by joining a company built to grow and last. You'll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons.

Come join our team - one of the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world.#J-18808-Ljbffr

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader. Organisations now face complex legal frameworks, ethical dilemmas, human-behaviour risks, communication challenges & usability hurdles. This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
