Lead Threat Response Operations Analyst
We are seeking a Lead Threat Response Operations Analyst to provide senior-level expertise in the identification, investigation, and containment of cyber threats. The role will lead day-to-day threat response activities, coordinate the analysis of security events, and ensure incidents are managed efficiently from initial detection through to remediation and post-incident review. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, application, risk, and business teams to assess potential impact, prioritise action, and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
Key responsibilities include directing the investigation of complex and high-severity incidents; validating alerts and correlating intelligence from endpoint, network, identity, cloud, and application sources; developing and refining detection and response procedures; and providing clear updates to technical and senior stakeholders. You will contribute to threat hunting, forensic analysis, vulnerability-driven response, and the continuous improvement of playbooks, monitoring rules, automation, and operational metrics. The role will also involve mentoring analysts, supporting capability development, participating in an on-call or escalation rota where required, and ensuring that incident records, lessons learned, and control improvements are documented to a high standard.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security operations, incident response, threat hunting, or a related discipline, with proven experience leading investigations in a complex technology environment. Strong knowledge of security information and event management, endpoint detection and response, network analysis, identity security, cloud platforms, and common attack techniques is expected. Experience with scripting or automation, threat intelligence frameworks, digital forensics, and recognised incident response methodologies would be advantageous. You will need excellent analytical and communication skills, sound judgement under pressure, and the ability to translate technical findings into practical business risks and recommendations. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are desirable.
