Are you looking for a role where you’ll play a key part in protecting a leading professional services organisation from evolving cyber threats?

We’re looking for a proactive Security Analyst to join a growing Technology team, working with modern security technologies in a collaborative environment where you’ll have the opportunity to influence security operations, improve processes and develop your technical expertise.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in Security Operations or Cyber Security who enjoys investigating incidents, strengthening security controls and working with the latest Microsoft security technologies.

As part of a dedicated Security team, you’ll help safeguard the organisation’s technology estate by monitoring threats, responding to incidents and continuously improving the firm’s overall security posture.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Monitoring and investigating security alerts across the organisation
• Responding to cyber security incidents and supporting remediation activities
• Managing and optimising security tools including Microsoft Defender and other enterprise security platforms
• Supporting vulnerability assessments, penetration testing and security audits
• Assisting with the implementation of new security technologies and improvements
• Developing and maintaining security policies, standards and best practice
• Providing technical guidance to colleagues on security processes and technologies
• Keeping up to date with emerging cyber threats and recommending improvements

You’ll already have experience working within a Security Operations, Cyber Security or Information Security environment and be passionate about protecting organisations from modern cyber threats.

You’ll ideally have experience with:

• Microsoft Defender or similar endpoint protection solutions
• Security Operations and Incident Response
• SIEM monitoring and security investigations
• Email security platforms such as Mimecast or Proofpoint
• Secure Web Gateway technologies such as Zscaler
• Vulnerability Management
• Cyber Essentials and ISO27001
• Microsoft security technologies including Defender, Sentinel or Entra

Professional certifications such as CompTIA CySA+, Security+ or Microsoft Security Operations are advantageous but by no means essential.
