Security Operations Analyst - Lead

We're recruiting a Principal Security Operations Specialist to join a major cybersecurity transformation programme delivering new security technologies, processes and operational capabilities. This is a key technical leadership role focused on designing, building and implementing Security Operations capabilities before transitioning them into BAU teams. You'll work independently, helping shape requirements, challenge existing approaches and drive delivery from concept through to operational handover.

You'll bring deep, hands-on Security Operations experience across areas such as incident response, threat hunting, digital forensics, malware analysis, network analysis and detection engineering. Using your understanding of the evolving threat landscape, you'll translate threat intelligence into practical security outcomes, developing new detection capabilities, investigations and response processes. This role requires someone who can confidently recommend solutions, influence stakeholders and provide expert guidance without relying heavily on existing operational teams.
