Everything that makes you unique is welcome; join us and let’s build what’s next - together! Role Summary: Anaplan is building a formal security architecture practice, and this role leads it. You will turn security architecture into a deliberate, reusable asset for the company: reference architectures, identity and authorisation patterns, cryptography standards, and AI guardrail designs that become the natural, low-friction path for engineering rather than a checkpoint to work around. This is a people-leadership role with deep technical scope, reporting to the Director of Product Security. As Anaplan's AI capabilities and enterprise footprint grow, consistent and well-reasoned architecture decisions matter more with every product that builds on them. You will own that surface, set the standards engineering builds against, and lead a senior team to make secure-by-design the default. Anaplan is not a simple SaaS application. The platform performs highly dimensional, enterprise-scale modelling with responsive recalculation and strong correctness expectations. The technical surface area includes the legacy Hyperblock engine, the newer Polaris engine, and a growing set of AI-powered products, including CoModeler for AI-assisted model building and CoPlanner for conversational, analyst-style planning support. AI is expanding both the capability and the attack surface of the platform, which raises the value of getting identity, authorisation, supply-chain integrity, and guardrails right by design. Security architecture has high leverage here because it sits close to engineering and platform decisions, and the team is small enough that a strong hire shapes the standards rather than inheriting them. Your Impact: • Lead the security architecture practice: define how architecture review works at Anaplan, what gets reviewed, when, by whom, and against which bar. • Own the reusable patterns: drive security reference architectures, identity and authorisation patterns, cryptography architecture, and AI guardrail design as living standards that engineering adopts by default. • Set security engineering principles: establish and maintain the standards that shape how the platform is built, and keep them legible and usable for engineers. • Review the highest-risk designs: lead architecture and design reviews for major platform and AI changes, early enough
