The Opportunity As organizations undertake large-scale digital transformation, cloud migration, and technology modernization initiatives, the need for robust, scalable security architecture has never been greater. Security architecture decisions made today define an organization's risk posture for years to come—shaping how data is protected, how systems are connected, and how threats are detected and contained. As a Manager within EY's Cyber practice focused on Enterprise Security Architecture, you will lead client engagements spanning architecture assessments, Zero Trust program design, cloud security architecture, and security governance—driving meaningful outcomes that align security investment with business strategy. This role offers the opportunity to combine technical architecture leadership with client advisory and team development across diverse industries.   Your Key Responsibilities As a Manager on the Enterprise Security Architecture team, you will lead and manage security architecture engagements across a range of industries. You will oversee security architecture assessments, direct future-state architecture design initiatives, and guide clients through the development of architecture standards, governance frameworks, and security patterns that embed security into technology and business change programs. You will work closely with client leadership—including CISOs, enterprise architects, and technology executives—to evaluate security posture across network, cloud, application, data, and identity domains, facilitate architecture review sessions, and translate technical findings into prioritized, executive-ready recommendations. You will provide hands-on direction across Zero Trust architecture programs, cloud security design, and DevSecOps integration initiatives, ensuring that security architecture decisions are grounded in both technical rigor and business context.   As a Manager, you will be responsible for managing engagement workstreams, leading and mentoring teams of Senior Consultants and Consultants, and delivering high-quality client service within established timelines and budgets. You will monitor developments across the security architecture landscape—including emerging threats, evolving cloud security capabilities, and regulatory requirements—and translate insights into actionable guidance for clients and EY's practice. In addition, you will contribute to business development activities, including proposal development, client presentations, thought leadership and account growth initiatives, and collaborate with professionals across EY's Cyber and broader technology capabilities to deliver integrated, cross-disciplinary client solutions.   Skills and Attributes for Success
