Senior Threat Analyst
We are seeking a Senior Threat Analyst to strengthen our cyber security capability and provide expert insight into evolving threats. In this role, you will monitor, investigate and assess malicious activity across a complex technology environment, helping to protect critical systems, information and services. You will work closely with security operations, incident response, infrastructure and risk teams to identify emerging threats and support effective, proportionate responses.
Your responsibilities will include analysing security alerts, threat intelligence and indicators of compromise; conducting in-depth investigations into suspected attacks; and producing clear assessments of threat actors, tactics, techniques and procedures. You will develop and maintain detection content, contribute to threat-hunting activities, and recommend improvements to monitoring and defensive controls. You will also support incident response by providing timely analysis, documenting findings and communicating risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The role will involve tracking developments in the threat landscape, assessing their potential impact and helping to prioritise protective measures. You may contribute to intelligence requirements, tabletop exercises, post-incident reviews and the development of playbooks, standards and operating procedures. You will be expected to promote good security practice, challenge assumptions constructively and share knowledge with colleagues through briefings, reports and mentoring.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber threat analysis, security operations, incident investigation or a related discipline. You will have strong knowledge of networking, operating systems, cloud technologies, malware, attack frameworks and common defensive tools. Experience with SIEM, EDR, threat intelligence platforms, scripting or automation would be highly advantageous. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcomed.
You should be analytical, inquisitive and able to make sound decisions under pressure. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly. A collaborative approach, strong attention to detail and a commitment to continuous learning are also required. This is an opportunity to play a key role in improving resilience against sophisticated and fast-changing cyber threats.
