Job description

The Opportunity

We’re seeking a highly experienced Principal Architect to lead the design, implementation, and evolution of Gallagher Security’s secure, scalable, cloud-native platforms and services. Reporting to the Portfolio Lead for Product Technology, you will play a pivotal role in realising the strategic architectural vision and ensuring solutions are both executable and aligned to business goals, technical standards, and operational excellence.

In this role you will :

  • Provide deep technical leadership, shaping architectural decisions and guiding engineering and product teams
  • Translate the Portfolio Lead’s strategic architecture into actionable patterns and decisions that teams can execute
  • Lead platform migration from legacy systems to modular, scalable services while maintaining security and operational integrity
  • Establish architectural patterns, guardrails, governance practices, and technical enablers to empower teams and drive velocity
  • Mentor and elevate technical leaders, building product development capability and cloud-native expertise
  • Collaborate closely with product, delivery and engineering teams to ensure solutions deliver measurable business value
  • Be based locally and enjoy working in the office alongside a high-performing team
  • Enjoy opportunities for international travel, collaborating with global teams and stakeholders

What GREAT looks like for our Principal Architect

  • Enterprise translator with delivery bias : Converts strategic architecture into actionable patterns and decisions, guiding integration across platforms with a preference for incremental migration over big-bang rewrites.
  • Cloud native, security-first pragmatist : Brings deep experience delivering secure, scalable, resilient systems and balances service, data, and API trade-offs with clear, documented decisions.
  • People-centred technical leader : Leads with maturity and collaboration, mentoring emerging leaders and communicating complex ideas clearly across executive and engineering audiences.
  • Culture and values fit for Gallagher : Embodies our values - creative problem solving, trust, curiosity, respect, and growth while leaning into in-person collaboration and international travel where it drives outcomes.
  • The Fit

    You are a senior technical leader with extensive experience in cloud-native and hybrid cloud architectures, capable of bridging strategy and execution to deliver scalable, resilient, and commercially relevant solutions.

    You’ll bring :

  • 10+ years’ experience in architecture, design, and implementation of complex cloud-native platforms
  • Proven ability to design for security, scalability, resilience, and operational efficiency in regulated environments
  • Experience working across architecture, product, and engineering teams to implement modern technical solutions
  • Strong strategic thinking with a systems-level perspective and ability to connect technical execution to enterprise objectives
  • Leadership maturity and experience mentoring teams to build cloud-native capability
  • Collaborative approach with the ability to influence across functions and stakeholders
  • Exceptional communication skills to convey complex architectural concepts clearly and inspire confidence
  • Why Gallagher?

    At Gallagher, you’ll join a high-performing team that knows how to deliver big outcomes and enjoy the journey along the way. This role gives you the chance to shape Gallagher’s cloud platforms, drive product transformation, and build global relationships, all within a culture that values ambition, collaboration, and balance.

    We also offer :

  • Highly competitive salary and annual bonuses
  • Enjoy the benefits of an office-based role with the freedom to work from home on occasion and flexible hours that work around your life
  • Life and Disability Insurance and KiwiSaver on top
  • If you are ready to take a pivotal technical leadership role shaping Gallagher’s enterprise architecture, we’d love to hear from you. You’re welcome to reach out for a confidential conversation to explore this opportunity further.
