• Strong enterprise security architecture background, with demonstrable experience developing practical principles, patterns, roadmaps and assurance approaches in complex technical environments.
• Proven ability to lead strategic projects, deliver results through effective collaboration and influence, and drive improvements in processes, policies, and capabilities.
• Deep understanding of enterprise security domains including architecture, GRC, IAM, data protection, secure development, cloud/infrastructure security, third-party risk and security operations.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex security issues to senior technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong customer management skills, with experience influencing engineering, product, legal, procurement, commercial and executive teams.
• Good awareness of semiconductor supply chain security considerations, including third-party collaboration, supplier assurance, data sharing, access control and IP protection.
• Demonstrated commercial awareness and ability to balance risk, delivery, cost, user experience and engineering efficiency.
• Experience developing people, role-modelling high standards and fostering a culture of trust, accountability and continuous learning.

“Nice to have” skills & experience:

• BSc/MSc or equivalent experience in cybersecurity, computer science, electronic engineering, semiconductor engineering or a related subject.
• Certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, TOGAF, CCSP, CISM, CRISC or relevant cloud/security architecture credentials.
• Experience with semiconductor supply chain security, foundries, OSATs, IP partners, strategic customers or ecosystem suppliers.
• Experience with EDA environments, secure engineering workspaces, regulated customer assurance or secure third-party collaboration models.
• Familiarity with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53/171, SOC 2 or equivalent security control frameworks.

Growth and opportunity: 

• This role is designed to grow over time. As context, relationships, and experience develop, there will be opportunities to take on greater ownership and play an increasingly important role in shaping how semiconductor engineering is delivered securely at Arm.
• This role will become a trusted partner to Engineering, helping influence priorities, improve secure delivery, and support broader security transformation initiatives across the organisation.
