Cybersecurity Threat Researcher (Position located in Cheltenham, United Kingdom)
We are seeking a Cybersecurity Threat Researcher to join a specialist team based in Cheltenham, United Kingdom. This role will focus on researching, analysing and communicating emerging cyber threats, helping to improve understanding of the evolving threat landscape and supporting the development of effective defensive strategies. You will investigate threat actors, campaigns, malware, vulnerabilities and attack techniques using a combination of open-source intelligence, technical analysis and structured research methods.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring global cyber activity, identifying trends and indicators of compromise, analysing malicious files, domains and infrastructure, and producing clear, evidence-based intelligence reports for both technical and non-technical audiences. You will contribute to threat assessments, briefing materials and knowledge bases, while collaborating with analysts, engineers and other security professionals to validate findings and strengthen organisational awareness. The role may also involve developing research methodologies, automating repetitive analysis tasks, presenting findings to stakeholders and supporting incident investigations or proactive threat-hunting activities.
Applicants should have practical experience in cyber threat intelligence, security research, digital investigations, malware analysis or a closely related discipline. A strong understanding of common attack frameworks, adversary tactics, vulnerabilities, networking and operating systems is required, together with the ability to assess the reliability of sources and draw sound conclusions from incomplete or conflicting information. Familiarity with scripting, query languages, security tooling and intelligence platforms would be advantageous. You should be naturally curious, methodical and comfortable working independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative environment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly. Relevant professional certifications or a degree in cybersecurity, computer science or a related subject are welcome, but demonstrable skills and experience will be valued equally.
