Predominantly focused on the public-sector, Methods is now building a significant private sector client portfolio. Methods was acquired by the Alten Group in early 2022. We are looking for an experienced Security Architect to join a major technology transformation programme and provide security architecture leadership across the full transformation lifecycle. This is a key role responsible for defining and assuring the security architecture across identity, endpoints, Microsoft 365, applications, infrastructure, networks and migration activities. You will work at the intersection of security, architecture and delivery, ensuring that appropriate security controls are embedded into both coexistence and target-state designs without creating unnecessary barriers to practical delivery. The programme will involve significant technology change and will need to operate across existing environments while progressively introducing new services and capabilities. You will therefore play a critical role in ensuring that security is considered from the outset, rather than being treated as a final-stage assurance activity. You will establish the security principles, patterns and control requirements that underpin the programme, assess threats and risks across current and future states, and provide independent assurance over technical designs and migration approaches. The successful candidate will bring strong technical security expertise together with sound risk judgement. You will be comfortable challenging designs where necessary, but equally capable of finding pragmatic solutions that allow the programme to move forward while maintaining an appropriate level of security. As the Security Architect, you will provide security architecture leadership and assurance across the transformation programme. You will: • Establish and maintain the programme's security architecture principles, patterns, standards and control requirements., • Define clear security design-assurance criteria and ensure that technical designs are assessed consistently against agreed requirements., • Assess threats, risks, vulnerabilities and control gaps across the current, coexistence, transition and target states., • Develop proportionate security controls that support secure coexistence between existing environments and new target services., • Define and assure Zero Trust principles across identity, devices, applications, data and network access., • Establish security patterns for identity protection, privileged access, least privilege, Conditional Access and administrative boundaries., • Work closely with the identity and directory architecture function to ensure that authentication, access and administrative controls are appropriately designed and secured., • Define security requirements for endpoint, email, Microsoft 365, data, application and network architectures., • Establish appropriate requirements for security logging, monitoring, alerting, threat detection and incident response., • Review technical architecture and solution designs, identifying security weaknesses, control gaps, dependencies and areas requiring further assurance., • Assess migration strategies and cutover approaches from a security perspective, ensuring that risks associated with transition between environments are understood and controlled., • Review proposed security exceptions and deviations from established standards, documenting the rationale, residual risk, compensating controls and required treatments., • Maintain visibility of significant security risks and ensure that appropriate owners and mitigation plans are established., • Work with technical teams to develop practical remediation and risk-treatment approaches rather than simply identifying problems., • Ensure security requirements are incorporated into programme plans, technical designs, migration patterns, testing strategies and operational handover., • Support security testing and assurance activities, including validation of security controls before major migrations or go-live decisions., • Provide security input into operational readiness, ensuring that monitoring, alerting, incident response and support arrangements are in place before services transition into production., • Align programme designs with organisational security policies, information-security standards, data-protection obligations and relevant regulatory or assurance requirements., • Maintain appropriate security architecture documentation, including HLDs, security principles, control matrices, threat models, risk assessments, exception records and architecture decision records., • Provide clear security recommendations and risk-based advice to programme leadership and senior stakeholders., • Support continuous improvement of security controls as the transformation progresses and new risks, technologies and requirements emerge. This is a transformation programme where security needs to be built into the architecture while delivery continues at pace. The programme will need to coexist with existing technology environments while introducing new identity, endpoint, productivity, application, infrastructure and network services. This creates a range of security challenges around trust boundaries, authentication, privileged access, data protection, legacy dependencies, migration paths and operational control. You will therefore need to take arisk-based and pragmatic approach to security architecture. The role is not about preventing change or applying controls without considering their operational impact. Instead, you will help the programme understand the risks it is taking, identify appropriate controls and determine where residual risk can reasonably be accepted, mitigated or transferred. You will be expected to challenge weak security decisions while also helping delivery teams find workable alternatives. A key part of the role will be ensuring that security controls remain effective throughout the transition. A design that is secure in the target state may not be appropriate during coexistence, and migration activities can introduce temporary risks that need to be explicitly understood and controlled. Your role will be to make those risks visible and ensure that the programme has a clear path to managing them. We are looking for an experienced Security Architect with a strong background in Microsoft cloud and hybrid enterprise environments. You will ideally have: • Extensive experience working as aSecurity Architect across complex enterprise technology environments., • Strong technical knowledge ofMicrosoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Azure, endpoint security, networks and application security., • Strong understanding of hybrid and cloud security architectures and the challenges associated with transitioning from legacy environments., • Proven experience applying Zero Trust, least privilege, privileged access and defence-in-depth principles., • Strong knowledge of identity and access security, including authentication, Conditional Access, identity protection and administrative controls., • Experience designing security controls across endpoints, email, data, applications, infrastructure and networks., • Strong understanding of security logging, monitoring, threat detection and incident-response requirements., • Demonstrable experience inthreat modelling, security risk assessment, control mapping and architecture assurance., • Experience assessing security risks associated with migration, coexistence, cutover and transition activities., • Understanding of data protection, information governance and relevant regulatory or assurance requirements., • Experience reviewing security exceptions and developing pragmatic risk-treatment or compensating-control strategies., • Strong technical writing skills, with experience producing security architecture documentation, risk assessments, threat models, control matrices and design-assurance outputs., • Experience working within formal architecture and security-governance frameworks., • Ability to translate technical security risks into clear business impacts, choices and recommendations. You will be a pragmatic security professional who understands that effective security is aboutmanaging risk, not eliminating change. You will have the technical depth to challenge architects and engineers, but also the judgement to understand delivery constraints and work collaboratively towards solutions. You will be confident operating in an environment where information is incomplete and decisions need to be made based on a combination of evidence, risk and professional judgement. You will be comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and explaining complex security matters in straightforward language. When a risk needs to be escalated, you will be able to clearly articulate the issue, potential impact, available options and your recommended approach. You will also be able to distinguish between genuine security risks and theoretical concerns that do not warrant disproportionate controls. Most importantly, you will be able to embed securityby designwhile maintaining the momentum of a major transformation programme.

Predominantly focused on the public‑sector, Methods is now building a significant private sector client portfolio. Methods was acquired by the Alten Group in early 2022. We are looking for an experienced Security Architect to join a major technology transformation programme and provide security architecture leadership across the full transformation lifecycle. This is a key role responsible for defining and assuring the security architecture across identity, endpoints, Microsoft 365, applications, infrastructure, networks and migration activities. You will work at the intersection of security, architecture and delivery, ensuring that appropriate security controls are embedded into both coexistence and target‑state designs without creating unnecessary barriers to practical delivery. The programme will involve significant technology change and will need to operate across existing environments while progressively introducing new services and capabilities. You will therefore play a critical role in ensuring that security is considered from the outset, rather than being treated as a final‑stage assurance activity. You will establish the security principles, patterns and control requirements that underpin the programme, assess threats and risks across current and future states, and provide independent assurance over technical designs and migration approaches. The successful candidate will bring strong technical security expertise together with sound risk judgement. You will be comfortable challenging designs where necessary, but equally capable of finding pragmatic solutions that allow the programme to move forward while maintaining an appropriate level of security. As the Security Architect, you will provide security architecture leadership and assurance across the transformation programme. You will: • Establish and maintain the programme's security architecture principles, patterns, standards and control requirements., • Define clear security design‑assurance criteria and ensure that technical designs are assessed consistently against agreed requirements., • Assess threats, risks, vulnerabilities and control gaps across the current, coexistence, transition and target states., • Develop proportionate security controls that support secure coexistence between existing environments and new target services., • Define and assure Zero Trust principles across identity, devices, applications, data and network access., • Establish security patterns for identity protection, privileged access, least privilege, Conditional Access and administrative boundaries., • Work closely with the identity and directory architecture function to ensure that authentication, access and administrative controls are appropriately designed and secured., • Define security requirements for endpoint, email, Microsoft 365, data, application and network architectures., • Establish appropriate requirements for security logging, monitoring, alerting, threat detection and incident response., • Review technical architecture and solution designs, identifying security weaknesses, control gaps, dependencies and areas requiring further assurance., • Assess migration strategies and cutover approaches from a security perspective, ensuring that risks associated with transition between environments are understood and controlled., • Review proposed security exceptions and deviations from established standards, documenting the rationale, residual risk, compensating controls and required treatments., • Maintain visibility of significant security risks and ensure that appropriate owners and mitigation plans are established., • Work with technical teams to develop practical remediation and risk‑treatment approaches rather than simply identifying problems., • Ensure security requirements are incorporated into programme plans, technical designs, migration patterns, testing strategies and operational handover., • Support security testing and assurance activities, including validation of security controls before major migrations or go‑live decisions., • Provide security input into operational readiness, ensuring that monitoring, alerting, incident response and support arrangements are in place before services transition into production., • Align programme designs with organisational security policies, information‑security standards, data‑protection obligations and relevant regulatory or assurance requirements., • Maintain appropriate security architecture documentation, including HLDs, security principles, control matrices, threat models, risk assessments, exception records and architecture decision records., • Provide clear security recommendations and risk‑based advice to programme leadership and senior stakeholders., • Support continuous improvement of security controls as the transformation progresses and new risks, technologies and requirements emerge. This is a transformation programme where security needs to be built into the architecture while delivery continues at pace. The programme will need to coexist with existing technology environments while introducing new identity, endpoint, productivity, application, infrastructure and network services. This creates a range of security challenges around trust boundaries, authentication, privileged access, data protection, legacy dependencies, migration paths and operational control. You will therefore need to take a risk‑based and pragmatic approach to security architecture. The role is not about preventing change or applying controls without considering their operational impact. Instead, you will help the programme understand the risks it is taking, identify appropriate controls and determining where residual risk can reasonably be accepted, mitigated or transferred. You will be expected to challenge weak security decisions while also helping delivery teams find workable alternatives. A key part of the role will be ensuring that security controls remain effective throughout the transition. A design that is secure in the target state may not be appropriate during coexistence, and migration activities can introduce temporary risks that need to be explicitly understood and controlled. Your role will be to make those risks visible and ensure that the programme has a clear path to managing them. We are looking for an experienced Security Architect with a strong background in Microsoft cloud and hybrid enterprise environments. You will ideally have: • Extensive experience working as a Security Architect across complex enterprise technology environments., • Strong technical knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Azure, endpoint security, networks and application security., • Strong understanding of hybrid and cloud security architectures and the challenges associated with transitioning from legacy environments., • Proven experience applying Zero Trust, least privilege, privileged access and defence‑in‑depth principles., • Strong knowledge of identity and access security, including authentication, Conditional Access, identity protection and administrative controls., • Experience designing security controls across endpoints, email, data, applications, infrastructure and networks., • Strong understanding of security logging, monitoring, threat detection and incident response., • Demonstrable experience in threat modelling, security risk assessment, control mapping and architecture assurance., • Experience assessing security risks associated with migration, coexistence, cutover and transition activities., • Understanding of data protection, information governance and relevant regulatory or assurance requirements., • Experience reviewing security exceptions and developing pragmatic risk‑treatment or compensating‑control strategies., • Strong technical writing skills, with experience producing security architecture documentation, risk assessments, threat models, control matrices and design‑assurance outputs., • Experience working within formal architecture and security‑governance frameworks., • Ability to translate technical security risks into clear business impacts, choices and recommendations. You will be a pragmatic security professional who understands that effective security is about managing risk, not eliminating change. You will have the technical depth to challenge architects and engineers, but also the judgement to understand delivery constraints and work collaboratively towards solutions. You will be confident operating in an environment where information is incomplete and decisions need to be made based on a combination of evidence, risk and professional judgement. You will be comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and explaining complex security matters in straightforward language. When a risk needs to be escalated, you will be able to clearly articulate the issue, potential impact, available options and your recommended approach. You will also be able to distinguish between genuine security risks and theoretical concerns that do not warrant disproportionate controls. Most importantly, you will be able to embed security by design while maintaining the momentum of a major transformation programme.

You will: • Facilitatesprint planning, daily coordination, sprint reviews, retrospectives, backlog refinementand other agreed agile ceremonies., • Ensure ceremonies are purposeful, inclusive and focused on achieving clear delivery outcomes rather than simply following process., • Work with Product Owners and Technical Leads to maintainprioritised, refined, ready and outcome‑focused backlogs., • Help teams break down complex technical and migration activity into achievable increments that can be planned, delivered and demonstrated., • Track delivery flow, sprint commitments, blockers, risks, dependencies and emerging issues across application and network workstreams., • Identify impediments early and work with the appropriate teams to remove or remove them before they impact delivery., • Coordinate dependencies and interfaces withidentity, infrastructure, security, testing, cutover, change and other programme teams., • Maintain visibility of cross‑squad dependencies and ensure actions and decisions are clearly owned and followed through., • Support realistic sprint and release planning, ensuring commitments are based on team capacity, technical readiness and known dependencies., • Encourage clear acceptance criteria, definition of ready and definition of done so that teams understand what successful delivery looks like., • Maintain clear visibility of progress against migration waves, key milestones and programme outcomes., • Provide timely escalation of delivery risks, blockers and dependencies where they cannot be resolved within the squad., • Use appropriate agile metrics and delivery data to understand flow, predictability, capacity, throughput and emerging delivery trends., • Use team feedback, retrospectives and delivery evidence to identify opportunities forcontinuous improvement., • Coach squads in agile principles and behaviours, encouraging ownership, collaboration, transparency and continuous learning., • Help protect delivery teams from unnecessary disruption while ensuring that programme‑level commitments and governance requirements remain visible and understood., • Work with Project Managers and Programme Leads to ensure agile delivery integrates effectively with wider programme planning, governance and reporting., • Support the coordination of technical and operational readiness activities leading into migration and cutover events., • Help ensure lessons learned from each delivery or migration wave are captured and used to improve subsequent waves. This is not a pure software‑development Scrum role. You will be operating within acomplex technology transformation, where applications, networks, infrastructure, identity, security and operational teams need to work together to deliver migration outcomes. The squads may therefore contain a mixture of technical disciplines, and delivery will often involve dependencies that sit outside the immediate team's control. You will need to be comfortable working in an environment where priorities can change, technical issues can emerge unexpectedly and delivery is governed by wider programme milestones. The ability to distinguish between a genuine blocker and a problem that the team can solve themselves will be important. Equally, you will need the confidence to challenge unrealistic commitments, unclear requirements or unmanaged dependencies and ensure that issues are surfaced early rather than becoming late‑stage surprises. The successful candidate will help create a culture whereprogress is visible, commitments are realistic, blockers are actively managed and teams continuously improve. We are looking for an experienced Scrum Master or Agile Delivery professional with a strong track record of working with multidisciplinary technical teams. You will ideally have: • Proven experience as aScrum Master, Agile Delivery Lead or equivalent, supporting technical delivery teams., • Strong practical experience facilitating agile ceremonies including sprint planning, daily stand‑ups, reviews, retrospectives and backlog refinement., • Demonstrable experience supporting and coaching teams to improve their agile maturity, ownership and delivery effectiveness., • Strong backlog‑management skills, with the ability to work effectively with Product Owners and Technical Leads to establish clear priorities and delivery outcomes., • Strong experience managingdependencies, blockers, risks, actions and impedimentsacross multiple teams., • Experience working within a governed programme environment where agile teams are working towards fixed migration milestones or business deadlines., • Practical understanding of how agile delivery operates alongside programme governance, project management, architecture, change and operational processes., • Experience working withapplications, networks, cloud, infrastructure or other enterprise technology deliveryis strongly desirable., • The ability to understand enough technical context to facilitate effectively and identify when an issue requires specialist intervention or escalation., • Experience working with architects, engineers, developers, infrastructure specialists, security teams, Product Owners, Project Managers and customer stakeholders., • Confidence using common agile planning, collaboration and reporting tools., • Experience using delivery metrics to identify trends, improve predictability and support evidence‑based conversations about delivery. You will be an excellent facilitator and communicator who can bring people together around a common outcome. You will be comfortable asking difficult questions and providing constructive challenge without creating unnecessary friction. You will know when to coach, when to facilitate, when to intervene and when to escape. You will have the emotional intelligence to work effectively with different personalities, disciplines and levels of seniority, creating an environment where people feel able to raise issues and challenge assumptions. You will also be highly organised and comfortable working across multiple workstreams. You will naturally look beyond the immediate sprint to understand how dependencies, risks and decisions could affect the wider migration programme. Most importantly, you will be focused onoutcomes rather than ceremonies. Agile processes are important, but your measure of success will be whether teams are becoming more predictable, dependencies are being managed effectively and the programme is successfully delivering its migration objectives.
