About the role
As a Senior Cyber Security Analyst, you'll act as a technical authority within Security Operations, owning the design, development and continuous improvement of our detection and response capabilities.
You'll lead the response to major security incidents, drive threat-informed detection engineering, influence security architecture decisions, and work closely with colleagues across Security, Engineering and Platform teams to ensure ENSEK remains resilient against evolving threats.
This role combines hands-on technical expertise with leadership responsibilities, offering the opportunity to mentor junior analysts while contributing to strategic security initiatives across the business.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead Security Incident Response by managing high-severity security incidents end-to-end, coordinating containment and recovery activities, conducting post-incident reviews, and acting as the senior technical lead during P1/P2 events.
- Own Detection & Response Capability through the design, development and optimisation of SIEM detections, maintaining MITRE ATT&CK coverage, improving detection effectiveness, and identifying gaps across ENSEK's security monitoring landscape.
- Drive Threat-Informed Security Operations by partnering with Threat & Vulnerability teams to operationalise threat intelligence, support vulnerability management activities, and ensure security operations remain aligned to ENSEK's evolving threat profile.
- Enhance Security Automation & Operational Efficiency through the development of playbooks, automated response workflows, alert enrichment capabilities, and tool integrations that reduce analyst effort and improve response times.
- Provide Security Leadership & Assurance by acting as the primary escalation point for Security Operations, mentoring analysts, supporting threat modelling activities, and providing security input into architectural and engineering decisions.
- Deliver Security Reporting & Compliance Support by owning operational metrics and performance reporting, communicating risk to stakeholders, and contributing evidence and control monitoring activities supporting ISO 27001, SOC 2 and NIS2 compliance requirements.
