## About the Role

The key requirement is strong practical experience across Microsoft Identity and Security.

Ideally you'll have experience with:

 * Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD
 * Identity & Access Management (IAM)
 * Conditional Access
 * Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
 * Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
 * Microsoft Sentinel
 * KQL / custom SIEM queries
 * Microsoft 365 / Microsoft security technologies
 * Security incident investigation and remediation
 * Vulnerability management
 * Network and infrastructure security
 * Windows and Linux environments

Knowledge of areas such as Microsoft Defender, PIM/PAM, MITRE ATT&CK, ISO27001, NIST, Cyber Essentials Plus and Industrial/IoT security would also be useful, but we're far more interested in your hands-on experience than a long list of certifications.

## Description

We're looking for an experienced Cyber Security Analyst to join a highly innovative organisation in Bristol on an initial 3-month contract.

You'll join an established IT and Security function, helping to protect a complex technology environment and improve the organisation's overall security posture.

The biggest focus for this role is Identity & Access Management within the Microsoft ecosystem, so we're looking for somebody with strong hands-on knowledge of Entra ID / Azure AD, Conditional Access, MFA and RBAC, alongside experience working with Microsoft Sentinel.

What you'll be doing

 * Supporting and improving Identity & Access Management across the organisation
 * Working with Entra ID, MFA, Conditional Access and RBAC
 * Using Microsoft Sentinel to monitor and investigate security events and incidents
 * Writing and working with KQL queries
 * Investigating suspicious activity, security incidents and emerging threats
 * Supporting vulnerability management and remediation activity
 * Working across the wider Microsoft security ecosystem
 * Identifying opportunities to improve the organisation's overall security posture
 * Acting as a security escalation point for the wider IT team
 * Working alongside internal teams and third-party security providers
 * Supporting security projects, audits and compliance activity
 * Producing clear recommendations following security investigations
