Working closely with technology, risk and business stakeholders, you will provide clear advice on security events, emerging threats and appropriate remediation activities.

Your responsibilities will include leading the analysis and response to complex security incidents, reviewing alerts and investigations, and improving processes across the security operations function. You will oversee the development and tuning of detection use cases, correlation rules, dashboards and automated response workflows within SIEM, SOAR, EDR and related security platforms.

The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgement, excellent organisation, a collaborative leadership style and the ability to remain calm and decisive during high-priority incidents.
