Cyber Security Analyst
Job Description
[Up to c. £60k Comp Package | Hybrid Working - 4 Days in Office]
Role Overview
We’re supporting a fast-growing, crypto-native investment firm as it continues to scale its security capability alongside business growth and increasing regulatory requirements. This is a junior, hands-on Cyber Security Analyst role, designed for someone early in their career who wants real exposure, responsibility, and mentorship - not just ticket-handling in a large SOC. You’ll join a small, high-trust security function, working directly with an experienced senior security lead and closely alongside a more senior security engineer. From day one, you’ll be visible across the business - helping run day-to-day security operations, supporting incident triage, and acting as a friendly, credible first point of contact for staff with security questions or concerns. This role is ideal for someone around 12 to 18 months into their career, possibly in their first role post-university, who wants to build strong fundamentals in a real, regulated, cloud-first environment...
Key Responsibilities
- Running day-to-day security operations, including recurring daily, weekly, and monthly checks
- Monitoring security alerts from endpoint, SIEM, and logging tools, and performing first-line triage
- Supporting incident response by:
- Investigating endpoint alerts
- Reviewing logs and basic indicators
- Escalating effectively with context and clarity
- Acting as a visible “front door” for security across the business:
- Reviewing suspicious emails or messages
- Responding to ad-hoc security queries from staff
- Assisting with the upkeep and improvement of:
- Endpoint security
- Monitoring workflows
- Security tooling and operational processes
- Contributing to major company initiatives, including:
- Security controls supporting a US listing (SOX-related work)
- Preparation and delivery of SOC 2 controls and evidence
- Maintaining clear documentation for incidents, procedures, and operational tasks
- Gradually expanding scope over time, with a clear path toward a more technical/engineering-focused security role as experience grows
What You’ll Bring…
- 6-18 months’ experience in a cyber security, SOC, or security-adjacent IT role
- A degree in Cyber Security, or Computer Science / IT with a clear security focus
- Some hands-on exposure to:
- Security monitoring
- Basic incident handling
- Common security tools (SIEM, endpoint, alerts, vulnerability scanning, etc.)
- Interest in - or early exposure to - working in regulated environments (financial services ideal, but legal, insurance, or similar are also relevant)
- Comfort working in a modern, cloud-first environment (deep cloud expertise not expected yet)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills - you’re comfortable explaining things clearly to non-security colleagues
- A proactive, curious mindset: you want to learn, improve processes, and understand why things work the way they do
- Confidence working in an office-based, high-interaction setting within a small, fast-moving team
