Threat Hunting & Detection Analyst
We are seeking a Threat Hunting & Detection Analyst to identify, investigate and help disrupt advanced cyber threats across a complex technology environment. You will proactively search for indicators of compromise, suspicious behaviours and emerging attack techniques that may evade traditional security controls. Working closely with security operations, incident response, engineering and infrastructure teams, you will turn intelligence and investigative findings into practical improvements to monitoring and defensive capabilities.
Your responsibilities will include developing and refining threat-hunting hypotheses, analysing security telemetry from endpoint, network, identity, cloud and application sources, and conducting detailed investigations into anomalous activity. You will create, test and tune detection logic, alerts and automated response workflows using appropriate security monitoring and analytics platforms. The role will also involve supporting incident response, documenting findings, producing clear technical reports and communicating risk, trends and recommended actions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will contribute to the development of playbooks, detection engineering standards, threat models and metrics that demonstrate the effectiveness of the security function.
We are looking for experience in threat hunting, security monitoring, detection engineering, digital forensics or incident response, together with a strong understanding of attacker tactics, techniques and procedures. You should be comfortable working with SIEM, EDR, network monitoring, vulnerability management and cloud security tooling, and have practical knowledge of query languages, scripting or automation, such as Python, PowerShell or SQL. Familiarity with frameworks including MITRE ATT&CK, recognised incident response processes and common security technologies is highly desirable. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and the ability to explain complex findings clearly are essential. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent hands-on experience will be valued. You must be proactive, inquisitive and collaborative, with the confidence to challenge assumptions and continuously improve detection and response capabilities.
