Lead Cyber Security Analyst
We are seeking an experienced Lead Cyber Security Analyst to provide technical leadership across security monitoring, incident response, threat detection and risk reduction activities. You will lead the investigation of complex security events, assess potential threats and vulnerabilities, and coordinate effective responses to protect critical systems, data and services. Working closely with infrastructure, applications, compliance and business teams, you will help strengthen security operations and promote a resilient, risk-aware environment.
Key responsibilities will include overseeing the analysis of alerts from security monitoring and detection platforms; leading investigations into suspected compromises, malware, phishing, unauthorised access and other cyber incidents; developing and improving detection use cases, playbooks and response procedures; and ensuring incidents are documented, escalated and resolved in line with established processes. You will also contribute to threat hunting, vulnerability management, security reporting and post-incident reviews, identifying trends and recommending practical improvements. The role will involve mentoring analysts, reviewing technical work, supporting operational prioritisation and acting as a subject matter expert on security monitoring and incident response.
You will bring substantial experience in a cyber security operations, incident response or security analysis role, together with proven experience leading investigations or guiding less experienced analysts. Strong knowledge of security information and event management, endpoint detection and response, network security, identity protection and common attack techniques is essential. Experience with threat intelligence frameworks, digital forensics, scripting or automation, and recognised security standards such as NIST or MITRE ATT&CK would be advantageous. You should be analytical, calm under pressure and confident communicating technical findings to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are desirable.
