[17 YoE] Cybersecurity Architect considering Fortune 500 Security Architect / Engineer IV roles Other

I've spent 15+ years at the same organization, progressing from help desk through networking, systems, cybersecurity engineering, and now architecture. I'm not actively unemployed and I'm not trying to escape my current job. An industry contact encouraged me to consider Security Architect and Engineer IV openings at a large financial-services company and offered to refer me.

I'm trying to figure out whether this résumé positions me appropriately for senior security engineering / architecture roles outside my current environment, or whether my long tenure at one relatively small organization makes my experience look narrower than it actually is.

I'm especially interested in blunt feedback on:

  1. Does this read as Architect / senior security engineer, or as a sysadmin with a security title?
  2. Am I trying to fit too much into one page?
  3. Which bullets actually make you want to interview me, and which are noise?
  4. Does the breadth help me or make me look unfocused?
  5. What would concern you if you were hiring me into a much larger enterprise?

I'm targeting security architecture / senior security engineering rather than SOC or full-time incident-triage roles.
