Everyone needs some help showing up as their best self. We're Disability Confident Committed - let our Talent team know if you need any reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process.
Job Description
The Threat & Exposure Management analyst helps ASOS understand and reduce the technology exposures most likely to contribute to material cyber risk.
Rather than treating vulnerabilities in isolation, the role considers vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity and privilege weaknesses, cloud security risks, exposed assets and attack paths in the context of threat intelligence, exploitability and business criticality.
You’ll turn technical security data into clear, risk-based priorities, helping engineering and technology teams focus remediation effort where it delivers the greatest reduction in exposure and cyber risk.
This is an analytical and collaborative role. You’ll work across ASOS’s technology estate to understand what is exposed, how it could realistically be exploited, what an attacker could reach, what matters most to ASOS, and what we should do about it.
Role Details
- Identify and assess technology exposures across ASOS, including vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity and privilege weaknesses, exposed assets and services, cloud security risks and attack paths.
- Perform risk-based analysis and prioritization, considering exploitability, threat intelligence, attacker behaviour, asset criticality, business context, accessibility and compensating controls to determine which exposures matter most.
- Analyse attack paths to understand how vulnerabilities, configurations, identities, privileges and trust relationships could combine to enable compromise of critical ASOS systems, services or data.
- Apply threat intelligence and exploitation data to understand which threats and exposures are most relevant to ASOS and where action should be prioritized.
- Assess exposure across modern technology environments, including cloud platforms, applications, APIs, virtual machines, containers, endpoints, identities, networks and supporting infrastructure.
- Support continuous attack-surface discovery, helping identify unknown, unmanaged, incorrectly classified or unexpectedly exposed assets and services.
- Partner with engineering, product, platform and infrastructure teams to agree proportionate remediation or mitigation strategies, focusing effort on actions that deliver the greatest reduction in cyber risk.
- Track significant exposures through to resolution, escalating material or persistent risk where appropriate and helping teams identify effective remediation or compensating controls.
- Identify recurring exposure patterns and systemic control weaknesses, working with technology teams to address root causes and eliminate classes of exposure rather than repeatedly treating individual findings.
- Assess the effectiveness of preventative and compensating controls in reducing identified exposures and attack paths, recommending improvements where required.
- Validate significant exposures and remediation outcomes, using appropriate technical evidence to confirm that identified risk has been materially reduced.
- Translate technical findings into clear risk insights, communicating exposure, potential business impact and remediation priorities to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Contribute to meaningful exposure metrics and reporting that demonstrate changes in organisational risk and remediation effectiveness rather than relying solely on vulnerability volumes or severity scores.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of ASOS’s Threat & Exposure Management capability, including automation, data enrichment, prioritisation models, metrics, reporting, workflow integration, processes and governance.
- Promote secure-by-design and proportionate, risk-based security practices across ASOS technology teams.

Qualifications
About You:
- Relevant experience as a Vulnerability Analyst, SOC Analyst, or in a similar role.
- Understanding of common vulnerability types and attack techniques.
- Experience with vulnerability management, cloud security or security assessment tooling (e.g. Wiz, Defender, Nessus, Qualys or similar).
- Understanding of enterprise technologies, including cloud platforms, infrastructure, networking and software development practices.
- Ability to leverage threat intelligence to assess vulnerability risk and inform remediation priorities.
- Knowledge of container and Kubernetes security is desirable.
- Understanding of cyber security risk management principles and risk-based decision making.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for presenting technical information clearly to non-technical audiences.
- Naturally inquisitive, with the ability to investigate security risks across diverse technologies and identify potential threats to the organisation.
- Self-motivated with strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll ideally have:
- Relevant experience in exposure management, vulnerability management, cloud security, security engineering, threat intelligence, SOC/security operations, or another role involving the analysis of technology and cyber risk.
- A strong understanding of common vulnerabilities, security misconfigurations and attacker techniques across modern technology environments.
- Experience using vulnerability, exposure, cloud security or security assessment tooling such as Wiz, Microsoft Defender, Nessus, Qualys or equivalent platforms.
- An understanding of cloud platforms and cloud-native technologies, including virtual machines, containers and modern application architectures.
- An understanding of identity and privilege as part of the attack surface, and how identity weaknesses can contribute to attack paths.
- An understanding of attack paths and attacker behaviour, including how multiple weaknesses can be combined to reach critical assets or services.
- An understanding of cyber security risk management and the ability to make risk-based rather than severity-based decisions.
- Knowledge of container and Kubernetes security is desirable.
- Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with a naturally inquisitive approach to investigating security issues across diverse technologies.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly and turn them into actionable priorities for different audiences.
- A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively with engineering and technology teams to achieve practical security outcomes.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role isn’t measured by how many vulnerabilities you find or tickets you create. It’s measured by how effectively we understand and reduce the exposures that matter most to ASOS.
You’ll help us move from vulnerability management based primarily on individual findings and severity scores towards a more continuous, threat-informed and risk-based approach to understanding and reducing our attack surface.
