- Provide technical leadership and mentoring to analysts.
- Take ownership of major cyber incidents, coordinating cross-functional teams, guiding decision-making and ensuring clear communication throughout the incident lifecycle.
- Drive post-incident reviews, embedding lessons learned and implementing improvements that enhance organisational resilience.
- Design and lead a programme of incident response exercises, helping to test readiness, validate processes and strengthen collaboration across technical teams and senior leadership.
- Work closely with stakeholders across operations, engineering, risk, legal, communications and executive leadership, building strong relationships that support an effective and business-focused approach to cyber security.
- Contribute to the wider cyber security strategy, identifying capability gaps, recommending improvements and helping shape the future direction of security operations across the business.
