• Provide risk-based architectural assessments and trade-off decisions
• Ensure solutions align with enterprise standards and risk appetite

Enterprise Architecture Leadership

• Lead cyber security input into the wider Enterprise Architecture function
• Contribute to EA governance, forums, and thought leadership (e.g. white papers)

Stakeholder & Vendor Engagement

• Collaborate with internal teams across IT, OT, and business domains
• Engage with strategic vendors and advisory partners to inform roadmap decisions

Community & Leadership

• Mentor and contribute to organisational security culture and best practices
