Job Description: The Security Architect plays a pivotal role in designing secure, scalable, and market-relevant cybersecurity solutions for ProArch clients, with particular focus on Microsoft cloud, AI, and agent-based platforms. This role is responsible for translating business and technical requirements into secure reference architectures, identifying security and governance risks early, and helping shape offerings that can be delivered consistently across the business. The Security Architect is a key role within ProArch's Innovation and Cybersecurity Solutions function, focused on defining secure solution architectures, establishing governance guardrails, validating design decisions through hands-on technical work, and creating the standards, patterns, and delivery guidance needed to scale successful services. A major part of the role is supporting pre-sales by helping frame solution direction, shape scope, explain architecture decisions, and build confidence in the security, feasibility, and value of the proposed approach. The ideal candidate is highly analytical, self-sufficient, detail-oriented, evidence-driven, and comfortable operating as both a strategic advisor and hands-on architect, someone who can assess client environments, design secure target-state architectures, identify control gaps, guide implementation decisions, support client-facing technical conversations, and translate complex security requirements into practical, repeatable delivery patterns. Responsibilities: Security Research & Architecture, Solution Design & Validation Identify whitespace in emerging technologies, especially AI, agent-based platforms, and adjacent Microsoft capabilities, where ProArch can create new security offerings or differentiate existing services. Research new platforms and capabilities to determine where clients are struggling, what risks or governance gaps exist, and which use cases have real market value. Assess client business requirements, security objectives, and technical constraints to design secure target-state architectures across Microsoft cloud, identity, data, and AI-related platforms. Define architectural patterns, trust boundaries, control points, and integration approaches that align security, governance, and operational needs. Produce architecture diagrams, reference designs, decision frameworks, and solution blueprints that can be used in both pre-sales and delivery. Validate proposed architectures through hands-on testing, design reviews, proof-of-concept work, and early implementation support to confirm feasibility and risk posture. Governance, Standards & Scalable Security Patterns Define secure configuration baselines, governance guardrails, identity models, and monitoring expectations for proposed solutions before they are broadly adopted. Evaluate architecture decisions for identity, access, data protection, compliance, resilience, and operational risk, and translate findings into clear technical recommendations. Create reusable standards, hardening patterns, reference architectures, and implementation guidance that help delivery teams execute consistently. Continuously refine architectural standards and recommended patterns based on delivery feedback, technical validation, and evolving platform capabilities. Pre-Sales Architecture, Advisory & Delivery Enablement Support pre-sales activities by leading or contributing to discovery sessions,
