Senior Cyber Threat Detection and Response Analyst
We are seeking a Senior Cyber Threat Detection and Response Analyst to lead the identification, investigation and containment of sophisticated cyber threats across a complex technology environment. You will monitor security events, analyse alerts and intelligence, and coordinate effective responses to incidents affecting networks, endpoints, cloud services, applications and critical data. The role will involve working closely with security engineering, infrastructure, risk and operational teams to strengthen defensive capabilities and reduce organisational exposure.
Key responsibilities include developing and tuning detection rules, use cases and correlation logic; conducting advanced threat hunting across security telemetry; investigating indicators of compromise and suspicious activity; and managing incidents from initial triage through to remediation and post-incident review. You will contribute to the development of playbooks, response procedures and threat models, while identifying opportunities to automate repetitive tasks and improve investigation efficiency. The role will also require clear documentation of findings, production of threat and incident reports, participation in vulnerability and risk discussions, and mentoring less experienced analysts. You may be required to support security operations outside standard hours through an agreed on-call or escalation rota.
You will bring significant experience in cyber threat detection, incident response, security operations or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of attack techniques, adversary behaviours and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. Practical experience with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, network monitoring and threat intelligence platforms is essential, as is the ability to investigate using endpoint, network, identity and cloud logs. Scripting or automation skills in languages such as Python or PowerShell are desirable. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, GIAC, GCIH, GCIA or equivalent, would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to explain technical risk clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
