Senior Security Analyst
We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Analyst to strengthen security monitoring, incident response and risk management capabilities across a complex technology environment. The successful candidate will investigate security events, identify emerging threats and support the ongoing improvement of defensive controls, processes and procedures. This role requires strong analytical judgement, technical expertise and the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Key responsibilities include monitoring security alerts and network activity, conducting in-depth investigations, analysing logs and other forensic evidence, and coordinating appropriate responses to confirmed or suspected incidents. You will contribute to threat hunting, vulnerability assessment, security testing and the development of detection and prevention strategies. The role will also involve maintaining incident records, producing clear reports and metrics, supporting security risk assessments, and helping to ensure that policies, standards and regulatory obligations are consistently met. You may also provide guidance to junior analysts and collaborate with infrastructure, engineering, application and governance teams on remediation activities.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security operations, incident response, threat analysis or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of security principles, attack techniques and defensive technologies. Practical experience with SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, vulnerability scanners, firewalls and identity management solutions is expected. Familiarity with recognised security frameworks and standards, such as NIST, ISO 27001 or MITRE ATT&CK, would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications are desirable. You should be comfortable working under pressure, prioritising competing investigations and documenting findings to a high standard. Strong problem-solving, communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, along with a proactive approach to continuous learning and improving organisational security resilience.
