Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst

3-Month Fixed-Term Contract

£45,000 – £55,000 pro rata (3-month fixed-term contract)

Fully remote – Must be UK based
UK-Based

Immediate Start Preferred

Are you a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst who thrives on staying ahead of emerging threats?

Do you enjoy analysing complex threat data and turning it into clear, actionable insight for security teams?

Are you available for a 3-month contract where you can make an immediate impact within a threat-informed security function?

We are recruiting for a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst to join an established cyber security function on a 3-month fixed-term contract.

Reporting into the Cyber Threat Intelligence Manager, you will play a key role in delivering and enhancing the organisation’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) capability, supporting the wider vision of a threat-informed cyber security operations model. With new vulnerabilities and adversarial activity emerging daily, this role is critical in ensuring intelligence is accurate, timely, and actionable.

This is not a developmental role, we are looking for someone who can step in quickly, operate with minimal supervision, and add value from day one.

The Role

You will be responsible for monitoring, analysing, and producing intelligence across tactical, operational, and strategic domains, ensuring the security function operates from an intelligence-led, proactive position rather than a reactive one.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Delivering Cyber Threat Intelligence services aligned to recognised best practice and industry standards

  • Monitoring changes in the global threat landscape that may impact the organisation and its customers

  • Analysing threat data from multiple sources to identify patterns, trends, gaps, and emerging risks

  • Producing clear, concise, and actionable intelligence products for technical and senior stakeholders

  • Tracking relevant threat actors and adversarial groups, including their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)

  • Maintaining and managing a cyber threat intelligence reference library

  • Promoting a culture of threat-informed security across the CISO function

  • Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, championing the value of intelligence-led security

  • Working with third-party intelligence providers to ensure effective delivery of external threat services

  • Evaluating current security controls against known threat actors using frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and CIS Controls

  • Supporting threat intelligence-led security testing initiatives, including red and purple teaming exercises

  • Contributing to continuous improvement of the CTI capability

    What We Are Looking For

  • Proven experience in Cyber Threat Intelligence analysis

  • Ability to work autonomously within a short-term contract environment and deliver measurable outcomes quickly

  • Strong understanding of threat actor behaviours, TTPs, and global threat trends

  • Experience working with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and CIS

  • Ability to analyse large datasets and translate findings into meaningful intelligence outputs

  • Experience producing intelligence reports across tactical, operational, and strategic levels

  • Strong stakeholder communication skills

  • Exposure to red/purple teaming or intelligence-driven testing initiatives is desirable

    Why This Role?

  • Opportunity to contribute to a mature and evolving CTI function

  • Immediate impact role within a forward-thinking cyber security team

  • High visibility across the security and wider business function

  • Fixed-term contract ideal for experienced analysts available at short notice

    If you are immediately available (or coming to the end of a contract) and would like to discuss this opportunity in more detail, I would be very happy to have a confidential conversation

How Many Cyber Security Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cyber Security Job?

If you are trying to build or move forward in a cyber security career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know never ends. One job advert asks for SIEM platforms, another mentions penetration testing tools, another lists cloud security, threat intelligence platforms, endpoint detection, scripting languages and compliance frameworks. Scroll LinkedIn and it gets worse. Everyone seems to “know” dozens of tools, certifications and platforms. Here is the reality most cyber security hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand risk, can think like an attacker and a defender, follow process, communicate clearly and make good decisions under pressure. Tools matter — but only when they support those outcomes. So how many cyber security tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific and how to focus your learning so you look credible, not overwhelmed.

The Skills Gap in Cyber Security Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cyber security has become one of the most critical disciplines in the modern economy. From protecting financial systems and healthcare data to securing national infrastructure, cloud platforms and supply chains, cyber security professionals now sit at the frontline of digital trust. Demand for cyber security talent in the UK has surged. Job vacancies remain high, salaries continue to rise, and organisations across every sector report difficulty hiring skilled professionals. Yet despite this demand, many graduates struggle to break into cyber security roles and employers consistently report that candidates are not job-ready. The problem is not intelligence, ambition or academic effort. It is a persistent and widening skills gap between university education and real-world cyber security work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cyber security.
