Job description
The Security Business Analyst will support security initiatives from early concept through to delivery, helping define requirements, clarify priorities, and enable teams to move forward with confidence.
Collaboration is central to the role. Working closely with security specialists, IT teams, and business stakeholders, the role will help build shared understanding of challenges, priorities, and desired outcomes across multiple initiatives. Responsibilities will include facilitating workshops, guiding discussions, and driving alignment between technical and business teams.
The role requires translating complex or ambiguous inputs - including risk assessments, regulatory requirements, audit findings, and strategic objectives, into structured outputs such as business requirements, user stories, process maps, impact assessments, and supporting documentation.
Working across multiple initiatives simultaneously, the Security Business Analyst will help improve consistency, governance, visibility, and delivery alignment across the broader security portfolio., We're more interested in how someone approaches problem-solving, collaboration, and delivery than in ticking every box.

A structured and analytical mindset is essential, alongside the ability to simplify complexity, challenge assumptions constructively, and support practical decision-making. Strong candidates will be confident managing competing priorities while maintaining attention to detail and delivery outcomes.
