We are seeking a Lead Information Security Operations Analyst to provide senior-level expertise within a security operations function. This role will lead the monitoring, investigation and response to cyber security incidents across enterprise systems, networks, cloud environments and business applications. You will act as a point of escalation for complex threats, help coordinate incident response activities and ensure that security events are assessed, prioritised and resolved in line with established procedures.
Key responsibilities include overseeing the analysis of alerts from security information and event management, endpoint detection and response, identity and access management, vulnerability management and other security tooling. You will investigate suspicious activity, conduct threat hunting, support digital forensics and produce clear incident reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role will also involve developing and improving playbooks, procedures, detection rules and operational metrics; identifying opportunities to automate repetitive activities; and contributing to security monitoring coverage, risk reduction and continuous service improvement. You may also provide guidance to analysts, review investigation quality and support the development of team capability.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security operations, incident response or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of common attack methods, threat intelligence, vulnerability management and security controls. Experience with SIEM and EDR technologies, log analysis, scripting or automation, and investigation within cloud and hybrid environments is highly desirable. You should be confident working under pressure, able to communicate complex security issues clearly and comfortable collaborating with infrastructure, application, risk and compliance teams. Relevant professional certifications in areas such as security operations, incident handling, cloud security or information security are advantageous. A methodical approach, strong judgement, curiosity and a commitment to maintaining high operational standards are essential.
