Senior Cyber Security Analyst

About the Role

Bring your security analysis experience to a hands-on contract focused on protecting information systems and networks from cyber threats. You’ll join a multi-disciplinary team of platform engineers and security specialists, working across security monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response and process improvement.

This role suits a senior analyst who can investigate detections independently, make sound risk-based decisions and work with technical teams to move remediation forward. You’ll also contribute to stronger security controls and help navigate environments where not everything is documented.

What You'll Be Doing

• Monitor security detections and investigate alerts and events, assessing severity, likely causes and appropriate response actions.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments and help prioritise and progress remediation with relevant stakeholders.
• Support incident response by coordinating with subject matter experts on containment, remediation and escalation.
• Assess security risks and contribute to controls aligned with relevant standards and regulatory requirements.
• Maintain and improve security policies, procedures and processes.
• Help integrate security into the work of teams across the organisation.
• Support business continuity activities where they relate to security risks or incident remediation.

What You'll Need (Essential)

• At least 5 years’ experience in security analysis or a similar security role.
• Hands-on experience triaging and investigating security detections, alerts or events.
• Experience with vulnerability management, including assessing risk and supporting remediation.
• Experience using security monitoring or detection tools in a production environment.
• Working knowledge of network protocols, network security and firewalls, plus Windows and Linux.
• Experience applying security frameworks or standards such as ASD ISM, NIST CSF, ISO 27001 or MITRE ATT&CK.
• Ability to coordinate incident response activities and communicate technical findings clearly with stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Rapid7, CrowdStrike or Splunk.
• A relevant tertiary qualification or security certification such as CompTIA Security+ or CISSP.
