Lead Cyber Security Architect

Cloud Delivered is looking for seasoned cyber security architects for a federal agency client who is at the absolute frontline of government service delivery.

Picture this: You're operating with real autonomy inside a large, quick-moving environment, translating complex business and ICT requirements into secure-by-design architectures that actually get built. You're the go-to voice on cyber security strategy, guiding delivery teams through the noise, resolving architectural exceptions, and keeping the agency's platforms locked down without slowing anyone down. The role spans the full solution lifecycle from conceptual design through to governance and assurance and you'll be presenting clear, risk-based advice to senior executives and governance bodies.

Based in QLD, WA, VIC, NSW, SA (with hybrid/negotiable arrangements), this is a genuine opportunity to shape security architecture at scale.

We know because we do. The Cloud Delivered crew are senior ICT contractors ourselves we've sat in the architect's chair, navigated APS governance, and know exactly what it takes to nail a role like this. We'll back you from first contact to contract signature.

You'll bring:



Demonstrated ability to analyse complex business issues within the cyber security domain, deliver pragmatic, risk-based recommendations, influencing stakeholder skills, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
