Enterprise Cloud Security Architect

**The Opportunity:**

The Enterprise Cloud Security Architect provides architecture leadership across Booz Allen’s Enterprise. This role requires deep technical expertise across AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud platforms, shaping how engineering teams design and implement secure by design cloud and hybrid solutions. The architect develops and maintains enterprise security standards, cloud governance models, and multicloud reference architectures, ensuring alignment with Booz Allen’s global security strategy and multicloud vision.

Lead the interpretation and adoption of multicloud governance models, including AWS Control Tower, Azure Landing Zones, and GCP Organization Structures, to support secure and automated enterprise environments. Translate security strategies into cloud agnostic architectural patterns, standards, and reference architectures implemented across engineering teams. Contribute to shaping Booz Allen’s enterprise cloud and cybersecurity capabilities by developing converged multicloud architectural approaches aligned with innovation, governance, risk management, and modernization goals.

Lead architectural and design reviews to ensure alignment with reference architectures, enterprise security controls, and compliance frameworks. Communicate architectural direction across teams and stakeholders to support consistency, clarity, and secure-by-design decision making. Maintain deep understanding of cloud security, automation, networking, and identity to effectively evaluate and influence engineering solutions and technical implementations.
