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
