Role Purpose: Make Airtel future-ready by leading SCG’s security architecture agenda: anticipate emerging risk, set secure-by-design guardrails, shape reusable patterns, steer high-risk technology decisions, and incubate next-generation capabilities across digital, cloud, edge, AI, IoT, quantum, identity, API, and sovereign technology environments.
Future-Risk Mandate: Build architecture that keeps Airtel ahead of the next wave of cyber, technology, regulatory, and adversary risk.
• Look ahead: Track risk across technology, regulation, ecosystem dependencies, and attacker behavior.
• Translate early: Turn emerging risks into architecture positions, design guardrails, threat models, and investment choices.
• Stop security debt: Prevent reactive, fragmented, or late-stage security decisions from entering major programs.
• Design for what is next: Shape scalable controls across AI, identity, API, cloud, data, telecom, edge, quantum, and sovereign technology.

Desired Experience & Background:
• Experience: 15–18+ years across cyber security, security architecture, engineering,



cloud/platform security, telecom, digital infrastructure, or technology risk; level calibrated by depth, influence, and leadership maturity.
• Leadership: Has led security teams or coordinated architects, engineers, platform-security initiatives, or enterprise design governance in complex environments.
• Preferred exposure: Telecom, hyperscale digital platforms, BFSI, critical infrastructure, cloud-native enterprises, product security, or large-enterprise cyber consulting.
• Future-risk breadth: Robust grounding in secure architecture, threat modelling, identity, zero trust, AppSec, quantum security, AI security, API risk, supply-chain risk, cloud-native risk, and adversary-led innovation.
• Execution mindset: Converts strategy into blueprints, POCs, adoption paths, control outcomes, and business enablement.
• Credentials: CISSP, CCSP, cloud security certifications, or equivalent experience prefer
