Sr Cybersecurity Architect

Department Overview

The Global Cybersecurity (GCS) Senior Cybersecurity Solution Architect is responsible for shaping, communicating, and advancing cybersecurity requirements and security architecture across the full lifecycle of commercial products and restaurant platforms. The architect combines deep technical judgment with strong relationship-building, negotiation, and influencing skills to help teams make informed, risk-based decisions that protect confidentiality, integrity, availability, privacy and compliance. The role contributes to enterprise security standards and reusable design patterns, while documenting security requirements, design decisions, risks, exceptions, and mitigations for systems and applications.

This role partners broadly across the Commercial Products and Platforms organization, including product management, engineering, privacy, risk, and business teams. Success requires technical credibility, organizational awareness, and the ability to build trust, facilitate productive dialogue, negotiate practical security outcomes, resolve competing priorities, and influence decisions without relying on direct authority.

This role will be a part of the Global Cyber Security function and the Cyber Security Architecture and Engineering team and will report to the Senior Manager of Cyber Security Solution Architecture.

Accountabilities & Responsibilities

• Develop and advance cybersecurity strategies for commercial and restaurant platforms, and services in alignment with business priorities, company goals, and industry best practices.
• Build trusted partnerships with product, platform, engineering, architecture, operations, privacy, risk, and business leaders to embed security throughout planning, design and delivery.
• Lead collaborative architecture reviews and working sessions that identify security gaps, clarify tradeoffs, and establish pragmatic, risk-based paths forward.
• Influence stakeholders at multiple levels without direct authority by using clear reasoning, credible evidence, active listening, and an understanding of business context.
• Champion secure-by-design and secure-by-default principles and coach teams in applying them consistently across products and platforms.
• Define, review, and promote reusable architecture artifacts, security models, standards, guardrails, and design patterns that improve consistency and accelerate delivery.
• Improve visibility of business and technology risk through threat modeling, control mapping, architecture assessments, and clear documentation of decisions, risks, exceptions, and mitigations.
• Translate complex technical and risk topics into concise, audience-appropriate recommendations for executives, product leaders, engineers, and non-technical stakeholders.
• Assess alignment with applicable security and compliance frameworks, including NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, and help teams translate obligations into practical design outcomes

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 6+ years of experience in information security, including at least 2 years in a security architecture role or equivalent experience.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA, or TOGAF are preferred; equivalent experience and demonstrated capability will be considered.
• Technical depth across multiple domains such as identity and access management, data protection, encryption, cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP), DevSecOps, application security, platform security, endpoint security, IoT, OT, network security, or zero-trust architecture.
• Knowledge of security frameworks such as NIST and ISO 27001, with the ability to translate them into practical standards, guardrails, and measurable outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to negotiate complex technical and risk decisions, find common ground, and secure commitment to practical outcomes across teams with competing priorities.
• Exceptional collaboration and relationship-building skills, including active listening, empathy, curiosity, and the ability to establish trust with technical and non-technical partners.
• Strong influencing and consulting skills, with a track record of guiding decisions and driving adoption without direct authority.
• Skilled facilitator who can bring structure to ambiguous discussions, surface assumptions, manage disagreement constructively, and lead groups toward clear decisions.
• Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills, with the ability to simplify complex security topics and tailor messages for executives, product leaders, architects, engineers, and business stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with sound judgment and the ability to evaluate information from multiple sources and recommend proportionate action.
• Demonstrated results reducing risk and security technical debt while enabling timely delivery and sustainable engineering practices.
