Overview
We have an exciting prospect for an Enterprise Cloud & Security Architect to join our Enterprise Architecture team Reporting to Enterprise Architecture leadership, and in collaboration with the Cloud and Security teams, the Enterprise Cloud & Security Architect is a Domain Architect within the Enterprise Architecture practice, accountable for establishing architectural direction, standards, patterns, and guardrails for cloud platforms and enterprise security across Alberta Blue Cross. The role works closely with Enterprise Architecture, Portfolio Architects, Solution Architects, and other Domain Architects to ensure cloud and security architecture frameworks are coherent, reusable, and aligned with enterprise and portfolio priorities.
Combining cloud and security architecture in one role is deliberate and reflects their close interdependence. Cloud platforms underpin enterprise applications, data, integration, identity, and digital services, while security, privacy, resilience, and risk considerations must be embedded from the outset. A unified mandate enables modernization through consistent enterprise standards and security-by-design.




The Security Architecture mandate involves enterprise-level architectural leadership for security capabilities across the organization. The role defines the target-state security architecture, principles, standards, and reference architectures that embed security-by-design into enterprise technology decisions. It provides architecture oversight and governance for security-related initiatives without assuming responsibility for operational security, cyber operations, or security engineering delivery.
The Cloud Architecture mandate involves enterprise-level architectural leadership for cloud capabilities across the organization. The role defines the target-state cloud architecture, principles, standards, and reference architectures that enable secure, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective adoption of cloud technologies. The position provides architecture oversight and governance for cloud platforms and major cloud-related initiatives without assuming responsibility for cloud engineering, infrastructure operations, or delivery execution.
This is a senior strategic architecture role responsible for shaping the long‑term direction of Alberta Blue Cross’s cloud and security capabilities and is not an infrastructure operations, cloud engineering, cyber operations, or security administration position.
