Do you want to help protect a global organisation from evolving cyber threats while shaping the future of cyber security operations? At Inchcape, we're pursuing an exciting strategy to transform our global business and accelerate our industry towards a low-carbon, sustainable future.
This role is part of Inchcape's Global Cyber Security team, supporting our worldwide operations through advanced security monitoring, threat detection and incident response capabilities. You'll play a critical role in protecting our people, systems and data, working alongside highly skilled security professionals in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.
As Senior Security Analyst, you'll operate in an L3 Security Operations Centre (SOC) capacity, serving as the senior technical escalation point for complex cyber security incidents and advanced threat investigations. You'll drive continuous improvement across detection engineering, threat hunting, automation and incident response capabilities, helping strengthen Inchcape's cyber resilience and security maturity.
This is a unique opportunity to combine deep technical expertise with strategic influence, working across global teams to enhance security operations, implement innovative solutions and defend against emerging threats.
What You'll Do
- Act as the senior technical escalation point for high-severity and complex cyber security incidents, providing expert analysis and guidance throughout investigations.
- Lead the technical response to major incidents, coordinating containment, eradication and recovery activities with internal and external stakeholders.
- Design, develop and optimise detection rules, threat models and advanced monitoring capabilities across SIEM, EDR and cloud security platforms.
- Conduct proactive threat hunting activities using threat intelligence, behavioural analytics and industry frameworks to identify previously undetected threats.
- Develop and enhance security automation and SOAR playbooks to improve operational efficiency, response capability and analytical effectiveness.
- Mentor and support SOC analysts while contributing to the ongoing maturity of detection engineering, incident response and security operations practices.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
