Lead Information Security Analyst
We are seeking an experienced Lead Information Security Analyst to strengthen the organisation’s security operations, risk management, and resilience capabilities. This role will provide technical leadership across information security monitoring, incident response, vulnerability management, and compliance activities. You will work closely with technology, risk, privacy, and business stakeholders to identify emerging threats, improve security controls, and support the delivery of secure services and projects.
Key responsibilities include leading the investigation and response to security incidents, analysing alerts and intelligence from security monitoring tools, and coordinating containment, remediation, and post-incident reviews. You will conduct risk assessments, security control reviews, vulnerability assessments, and threat modelling, while recommending practical improvements aligned with recognised frameworks and regulatory requirements. The role will also contribute to security policies, standards, procedures, audit activity, business continuity planning, and regular reporting on risks, incidents, and control effectiveness. You will mentor analysts, promote good security practices, and act as a trusted adviser to technical and non-technical colleagues.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information security, security operations, incident management, or a related discipline, with proven experience leading investigations or security improvement initiatives. Strong knowledge of security principles, risk management methodologies, vulnerability assessment, identity and access management, network security, endpoint protection, and cloud security is required. Familiarity with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, and threat intelligence platforms is highly desirable, along with experience interpreting relevant legislation, standards, and frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, or CIS Controls. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC, or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You will need excellent analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, sound judgement, and the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-changing environment.
