Who we are looking for

As a Senior Information Security Analyst, you will focus on the technical side of information security to ensure IT systems are built and operated in a secure manner.


The Information Security team monitors live operations, creating and reacting to alerts and anomalies identified through automated tools or manual analysis.


The Security Operations Centre (SOC) owns the end to end process from alert to resolution and are a major part of the cyber incident management process. As such, they are both a reviewer of alerts and the resolver group, not necessarily fixing, but certainly identifying the issue.


As part of SOC function, you will work closely with the engineering team to define tool requirements and onboard new functionality. You will also collaborate with colleagues in governance and compliance to ensure appropriate data usage.


We use industry-leading, enterprise tools to identify threats, along with in-house scripts and internet research. The day-to-day work is fast-paced and dynamic, responding to business priority and threat landscape changes.


This role is eligible for inclusion in the Company’s hybrid working from home policy.

  • Experience of security related technical investigations.
  • Working knowledge of industry standard information security practices.
  • Knowledge of developments in security technologies and their applications.
  • Awareness of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) at current version.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills, as well as, high attention to detail.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to work to deadlines.
  • Pragmatic approach to the administration of governance and risk.
  • Display a committed, flexible, can do attitude towards work.


Main Responsibilities

  • Owning the technical aspect of the incident management process related to information security issues.
  • Undertaking security related investigations.
  • Overseeing the daily security operational processes and acting as an escalation point where necessary.
  • Responding to, and reporting on, system alerts from various monitoring technologies.
  • Leading the project process to ensure that information security aspects are considered up front and throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Developing a thorough understanding of the Business, whilst supporting other members of the team.
  • Liaising with the Business to ensure that information security requirements within each of the different jurisdictions in which we operate are complied with.
  • Creating technical documentation.
  • Taking an active role in audits as necessary.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
