Information Security Analyst

IT Security Analyst | London (St Paul's) | £75k-£80k
A well-established professional services firm is hiring an IT Security Analyst to join a security team of 8, supporting a global technology estate across 1,500 users and 15 offices.
This is a hands-on cyber security operations role, not a pure SOC monitoring seat. You'll monitor security tools, investigate alerts and suspicious activity across endpoint, identity, email and cloud, and lead incidents through to resolution. You'll also help manage vulnerabilities, sharpen detection rules and procedures, support audits and client security questionnaires, advise IT teams on risk, and take part in disaster recovery exercises.
What you'll do
• Triage and investigate alerts, coordinating containment and remediation
• Lead incident response: containment, eradication, recovery, evidence and reporting
• Maintain and improve detection rules, playbooks and monitoring
• Support vulnerability management, audits and client due diligence
• Advise IT and business stakeholders on security risk in plain English
• Contribute to DR and resilience testing

What you'll bring
• 3+ years in cyber security, security operations or incident response
• Hands-on experience with SIEM/XDR and EDR
• Experience investigating incidents yourself, not just escalating them
• Comfort working across endpoint, identity, email and cloud environments
• Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical audiences
• Professional services or similarly regulated environment preferred
If you want to move beyond alert triage into a role with real ownership of investigations, response and security risk, we'd like to hear from you. Apply now for a confidential conversation.
