# Enterprise Security Architect Lead – Chalhoub Group

Chalhoub Group is hiring an Enterprise Security Architect Lead in Dubai. Chalhoub Group is a long-established luxury and lifestyle retail group in the Middle East, operating a large network of stores alongside e-commerce sites and mobile apps across the region. A business of that size, handling customer data, payments and supply chains across multiple countries and channels, needs a coherent security architecture, and this role is responsible for shaping it.

The posting outlines several focus areas. You will track emerging technologies and evolving cyber threats to inform the group’s security architecture strategy, embed Security by Design across the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC), and work across areas including Zero Trust Architecture, cyber risk management and security governance. In practice, that typically means defining security architecture principles, standards and reference patterns; reviewing designs for new systems, cloud services and integrations; guiding engineering teams on secure design; and making sure security controls are built in from the start rather than added later.

As a Lead, you will also influence senior stakeholders across technology and the business, explaining risks clearly and helping prioritise investment. Retail and e-commerce bring particular security considerations, such as protecting customer data and payments, securing omnichannel platforms and APIs, managing third-party and supplier access, and complying with regulations in multiple countries. Cloud security, identity and access management, and data protection are likely to be central themes.

The role suits a senior security architect with broad technical depth, hands-on experience implementing Zero Trust and secure SDLC practices, strong knowledge of security frameworks, and the communication skills to guide both engineers and executives.

## Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information security, engineering or a related field

- Extensive experience in information security, with significant time in security architecture roles

- Hands-on experience designing and implementing Zero Trust Architecture

- Strong knowledge of secure SDLC, threat modelling and DevSecOps practices

- Expertise in cloud security, identity and access management, network and application security

- Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls and PCI DSS

- Experience in cyber risk management and security governance

- Certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP or TOGAF are an advantage

- Excellent communication skills with technical teams and senior stakeholders
