Reference: 2a14t8zed50rzm33xg5l

We are seeking a Cyber Security Specialist (Operational) to help protect critical systems, services and information from evolving cyber threats. Working as part of an operational security function, you will monitor the security environment, investigate alerts and incidents, and support the implementation of effective controls across technology platforms. You will collaborate with technical teams, service owners and other stakeholders to identify vulnerabilities, reduce risk and maintain a strong security posture.

Your responsibilities will include monitoring security tools and logs, triaging and responding to incidents, conducting investigations, and supporting containment, recovery and post-incident reviews. You will contribute to vulnerability management activities, including assessing findings, coordinating remediation and tracking actions through to completion. The role will also involve maintaining security documentation, procedures and operational playbooks, supporting security assessments, and providing clear reports and recommendations to relevant stakeholders. You may participate in an incident response rota or provide out-of-hours support when required.

To be successful, you will have practical experience in cyber security operations, security monitoring, incident response or a closely related discipline. You should understand common attack techniques, network and endpoint security principles, identity and access management, vulnerability management and relevant security frameworks. Experience with SIEM, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability scanning or threat intelligence tools is desirable. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, together with the ability to communicate technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant professional certifications or formal qualifications in cyber security, information technology or a related field would be advantageous. A proactive approach, sound judgement, attention to detail and a commitment to continuous improvement are also important.
