Security Expert-Detection & Response
We are seeking an experienced Security Expert – Detection & Response to strengthen cyber defence capabilities and help protect critical systems, data and services. This role will lead the identification, investigation and resolution of security incidents, while improving the organisation’s ability to detect and respond to emerging threats.
You will monitor and investigate alerts from security information and event management, endpoint detection and response, network monitoring and cloud security platforms. Working across technical and business teams, you will assess potential threats, perform triage, contain incidents and coordinate remediation. You will also contribute to forensic investigations, root-cause analysis and post-incident reviews, ensuring lessons learned are translated into practical improvements.
Key responsibilities include developing and tuning detection rules, creating investigative playbooks and response procedures, and improving security monitoring coverage across infrastructure, applications, identities and cloud environments. You will support threat hunting activities, use threat intelligence to identify relevant attack techniques, and help validate controls through simulations, testing and continuous improvement. Clear and accurate incident reporting, risk communication and escalation to senior stakeholders will also be an important part of the role.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cyber security operations, incident response, threat detection or a related discipline. You should be confident analysing complex events and logs, correlating data from multiple sources, and making sound decisions under pressure. Practical knowledge of security monitoring technologies, endpoint and network security, identity systems, cloud platforms and common attack frameworks is essential.
Relevant professional certifications, such as those covering incident handling, security operations, digital forensics or threat intelligence, would be advantageous. You will need strong communication and collaboration skills, a methodical approach, and the ability to explain technical risks clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. A proactive mindset, commitment to continuous learning and willingness to participate in an incident response rota may also be required.
