Principal Cyber Security Analyst
We are seeking an experienced Principal Cyber Security Analyst to provide strategic direction and technical leadership across a broad information security landscape. This role will be responsible for identifying, assessing and managing cyber security risks, strengthening defensive capabilities and supporting the secure delivery of business services. You will act as a senior subject matter expert, advising stakeholders on emerging threats, security architecture, regulatory expectations and practical risk reduction.
Key responsibilities will include leading the investigation and response to complex security incidents; analysing security alerts, vulnerabilities and threat intelligence; and developing recommendations to improve detection, prevention and recovery capabilities. You will contribute to security monitoring, threat hunting, penetration testing coordination, incident simulations and the continuous improvement of security operations. The role will also involve maintaining risk assessments, policies, standards and technical documentation, as well as supporting security reviews for projects, systems, suppliers and cloud-based services. You will mentor analysts and work closely with infrastructure, engineering, compliance and business teams to promote secure-by-design practices.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security, security operations, incident response, threat analysis or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of network, endpoint, identity, cloud and application security. Experience using SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management and threat intelligence platforms is expected, along with the ability to interpret logs, investigate suspicious activity and communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Professional security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent are desirable. You will need excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, sound judgement, strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to influence others while managing competing priorities. A proactive approach to continuous learning and a commitment to maintaining high standards of confidentiality and integrity are essential.
