We are seeking an experienced Lead Cyber Security Operations Analyst to take a senior role in protecting critical systems, services and data. You will provide technical leadership within the security operations function, helping to identify, investigate and respond to threats while supporting the continuous improvement of security monitoring and incident response capabilities.

Key responsibilities will include leading the triage, investigation and resolution of security alerts and incidents across cloud, infrastructure, endpoint and network environments. You will coordinate incident response activity, assess potential impact, maintain accurate records and ensure that appropriate containment, eradication and recovery actions are completed. You will also contribute to threat hunting, vulnerability reviews, security investigations and the development of detection use cases.

The role will involve mentoring and supporting analysts, allocating operational workloads and acting as a point of escalation for complex or high-risk events. You will work closely with technology, risk, compliance and third-party teams to strengthen security controls and improve organisational resilience. You will produce clear reports and metrics for senior stakeholders, identify recurring issues and recommend practical improvements to processes, tooling and operational procedures.

Applicants should have substantial experience in a security operations, incident response or cyber defence environment, including experience of leading investigations or supervising technical teams. You will have strong knowledge of SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management and security monitoring technologies, together with an understanding of common attack techniques, threat intelligence and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. Experience working with cloud platforms, automation or scripting languages would be advantageous.

Excellent analytical, communication and decision-making skills are essential, as is the ability to remain calm and organised during serious incidents. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent practical experience, are desirable. You must be willing to participate in an on-call or out-of-hours support rota where required.
