WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

You’ll have a strong understanding of the cyber threats facing large organisations, along with the technical mitigations appropriate to those threats. As well as this, you’ll have a natural passion and curiosity for security and intelligence and be able to blend technical details with traditional intelligence tradecraft to produce concise, relevant, robust, and timely assessments, for technical and non-technical consumers.
You’ll be responsible for co-ordinating and delivering tasks throughout the cyber threat intelligence lifecycle, including the collection of data from social media, dark web, news stories and vendors/partners to produce appropriate, refined, and robust intelligence products to answer customer requirements and provide actionable insights. You’ll assist a team of junior analysts and have a passion for developing both operational processes and colleague skillsets.
Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, you’ll need to communicate your assessments to an audience across multiple levels and departments. We work closely with our peers in other organisations, as well as our vendors, and the role will also be central in managing and developing these relationships.

• Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes
