Senior Security Analyst
We are seeking a Senior Security Analyst to strengthen the organisation’s cyber security capability and help protect critical systems, applications, data and users. In this role, you will monitor and investigate security events, assess potential threats, coordinate incident response and provide expert advice on improving the organisation’s overall security posture. You will work closely with infrastructure, applications, engineering, risk and compliance teams to identify vulnerabilities, reduce exposure and support the secure delivery of technology services.
Key responsibilities include analysing alerts from security monitoring and detection platforms, leading the investigation of suspected incidents, documenting findings and recommending appropriate containment and remediation actions. You will conduct threat hunting, log analysis and security assessments; contribute to vulnerability management and penetration-testing follow-up; and support the development, testing and continual improvement of incident response processes. The role will also involve producing clear reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders, tracking security metrics, advising on risk treatment and helping to maintain policies, procedures and operational playbooks. You may also provide guidance during security-related projects, system changes and third-party assessments.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a cyber security operations, incident response, threat intelligence or security engineering environment, together with a strong understanding of security principles, attack techniques and defensive controls. Practical experience with SIEM, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability scanning, identity and access management, cloud security and network monitoring tools is expected. Knowledge of recognised security frameworks and standards, such as NIST, ISO 27001 or CIS Controls, would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications are desirable. You should demonstrate excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, sound judgement, strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-moving environment. A proactive approach, attention to detail and commitment to continuous learning are essential.
