## About the Role

This role would suit someone with a background in Threat Intelligence / IR / SOC with experience in Data Science, who is comfortable working with large, complex datasets.

## Description

Financial Services firm seeks a CTI Lead to join it's growing Threat Intelligence function. In this role, you'll apply data science techniques such as machine learning, statistical analysis, and data engineering to help identify, analyse, and mitigate cyber threats across the organisation.

Working closely with Cyber Threat Intelligence, Cyber Operations, and Threat Hunting teams, you'll use large and complex security datasets (from sources like SIEMs, endpoints, and firewalls) to detect patterns of malicious activity, anticipate potential attack vectors, and support incident response efforts. You'll also leverage external threat intelligence to assess emerging risks, including threat actor behaviour, TTPs, and intrusion trends.

A key part of the role involves translating technical findings into clear, actionable insights for a range of stakeholders.
