Security Analyst – Emerging Technology - Financial Services
We are seeking a Security Analyst – Emerging Technology to support the protection of financial services environments as new technologies, platforms and delivery models continue to evolve. This is an opportunity to join a forward-looking security function that helps the business adopt innovation safely, balancing effective risk management with the need to deliver resilient, customer-focused services.
You will assess the security implications of emerging technologies, including cloud services, artificial intelligence, automation, application programming interfaces and digital platforms. Your responsibilities will include conducting threat, vulnerability and risk assessments; reviewing technical and architectural proposals; monitoring relevant threat intelligence; and recommending practical controls to reduce exposure. You will contribute to security-by-design activities, support the development of policies, standards and guidance, and help maintain risk registers, assurance records and management reporting.
The role will involve working closely with technology, architecture, engineering, risk, compliance and operational teams. You will provide clear advice to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, challenge proposed solutions where appropriate, and help investigate and respond to security incidents or emerging threats. You may also support security testing, control reviews, regulatory or audit activity, and the evaluation of new products and suppliers.
Applicants should have experience in information or cyber security, ideally within financial services or another highly regulated environment. You will need a sound understanding of security principles, risk assessment, cloud and modern technology architectures, identity and access management, data protection and common threat scenarios. Experience with security frameworks, vulnerability management, incident response or third-party assurance would be advantageous. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, GIAC or equivalent experience, are welcomed.
We are looking for an analytical and adaptable professional who can interpret complex information, communicate confidently and make balanced, evidence-based recommendations. Curiosity about emerging technology, strong stakeholder management skills and a commitment to continuous learning are essential. You will be expected to work collaboratively, demonstrate sound judgement and help establish proportionate security practices that support innovation while protecting customers, colleagues, data and critical services.
