• Architecture Strategy: Define and maintain a target-state and transition architecture, aligned to DCIs chosen operating model, governing regulations, and compliance requirements.

• Advisory & Authority: Provide advisory and act as the single architectural authority to ensure controls are implemented consistently and without overlapping or gaps.

• Risk Identification: Identify architectural risks related to Managed Service Provider (MSP) tool ownership, control-plane dependencies, and SOC continuity.

• Design Review: Review configurations conceptually for security design correctness (focusing on architecture rather than day-to-day administrative changes) and data flow.

• Gap Prioritization: Identify and prioritize high-risk gaps including privileged access, segmentation, endpoint exposure, audit gaps, protocol mismatch, and tier architecture or hybrid layouts.

• Remediation Planning: Recommend pragmatic remediation measures aligned to DCIs specific risk tolerance and budget.

• Vendor & Compliance Management: Handle vendor coordination, license monitoring, and compliance management with associated third parties.

• Education: Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field.

• Skills: Strong understanding of Zero Trust principles, risk management, and regulatory compliance frameworks.

• Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical risks and trade-offs to senior leadership.
