Senior Security Analyst
We are seeking a Senior Security Analyst to help protect a complex technology environment and support the continuous improvement of cyber security capabilities. In this role, you will monitor and investigate security events, assess potential threats, and coordinate appropriate responses to incidents. You will work closely with technical teams and business stakeholders to identify vulnerabilities, reduce risk and promote effective security practices across the organisation.
Your responsibilities will include analysing alerts from security monitoring and detection tools, leading investigations into suspected breaches, and documenting findings, actions and recommendations. You will contribute to incident response planning, threat hunting, vulnerability management and security assurance activities. You will also review logs, reports and intelligence sources to identify emerging threats, support forensic investigations where required, and help maintain clear and accurate security procedures. The role will involve advising on the secure design and operation of systems, supporting audits and compliance reviews, and providing guidance to less experienced analysts.
To be successful, you will have substantial experience in a security operations, incident response or cyber security analysis role, with a strong understanding of security monitoring principles and risk management. Experience with SIEM, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability scanning and threat intelligence tools is expected, together with practical knowledge of network security, identity and access management, cloud technologies and common attack techniques. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent experience, would be advantageous. You will be analytical, organised and confident communicating technical matters to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. The ability to prioritise effectively, remain calm during high-pressure incidents and collaborate across teams is essential.
