<h4>Job summary</h4>The National Archives is the official archive and publisher for the UK Government, and for England and Wales. We hold over 1,000 years of iconic national documents – from Domesday Book to digital files from contemporary government. Our mission is to collect, preserve, and make accessible the record of the state, helping citizens understand their past and governments make informed decisions for the future.Our digital services support preservation and access at scale – and securing our systems means protecting history itself.

The role demands deep technical expertise, leadership in secure by design implementation and architecture governance, and the ability to influence decisions across departments and external suppliers. You will be accountable for the design, implementation and continuous improvement of multi cloud security frameworks (AWS, Azure and other environments), aligned with government standards and resilient to emerging risks. Your work protects critical information from malicious attacks, accidental loss and unauthorised access.
