Summary
Cyber Security Analyst
Hybrid – Nottingham (1 day per week onsite) Full-time, 40 hours per week (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm)
Salary Up to £55,000 per annum depending upon experience
Are you a problem-solver who thrives on digging into complex security events, supporting colleagues, and strengthening an organisation’s cyber resilience? If you enjoy analysing threats, improving processes, and collaborating closely with technical teams, this role is a great fit.
We’re looking for a Cyber Security Operations Analyst who can bring expertise, curiosity, and clear communication to our growing security function.
What you’ll be doing
In this hands-on, collaborative role, you’ll be at the heart of our security operations. You will:
Investigate alerts escalated by our outsourced SOC, validate impact, and assess risk
Co-ordinate containment, remediation, and recovery with IT teams
Oversee vulnerability scanning, prioritise fixes, and track remediation through to completion
Support secure configuration, hardening, access reviews, and patch validation
Maintain playbooks, security documentation, and audit-ready evidence
Ensure logs reach the SIEM and work with the SOC to refine rules, tuning, and false positive reduction
Produce clear reports on incidents, vulnerabilities, trends, and risks
Partner with teams across the business to embed secure ways of working
Contribute to security improvement projects and help uplift our overall security posture
You’ll also play a key role in supporting compliance obligations such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and other regulatory requirements.
What You’ll Get in Return
Help@Hand – 24/7 access to GPs, mental health support, and more for you and your family
Thrive App – NHS-approved mental wellbeing support
Buzz Brights Apprenticeships & Buzz Learning – access to 100s of online courses
Buzz Brilliance Awards – employee recognition scheme
5 weeks annual leave plus public holidays (pro-rated for part-time roles)
Holiday Buy Scheme – purchase an extra week of holiday (eligibility applies)
50% staff discount on bingo tickets, food, and soft drinks
Refer a Friend Scheme
Life Assurance & Pension Scheme
Access to trained Mental Health Advocates
What you’ll bring
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
Proven experience investigating and responding to security alerts and incidents
Hands-on knowledge of operational security tools (SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, firewalls, vulnerability scanning, web/email gateways, etc.)
Strong understanding of networks, operating systems, authentication, cloud platforms, and common attack techniques
Experience with threat intelligence, attack simulation, or readiness exercises
Familiarity with frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, and UK GDPR
Clear, confident written and verbal communication skills
Experience supporting audits or managing security improvement projects
A meticulous, analytical mindset and the ability to work effectively with both internal teams and external partners
