Senior Cyber Security Analyst

Glasgow – Hybrid (2 days per week onsite)

VIQU are partnering with a leading global professional services organisation looking to appoint a Senior Cyber Security Analyst on a full-time, permanent basis. This is a senior hands‑on security role combining complex incident response, threat monitoring and security control assurance with the opportunity to act as a technical SME for the wider cyber security team. You’ll work closely with technical and business stakeholders, help strengthen the organisation’s security posture and support the development of junior analysts.

• Oversee security monitoring activities, using SIEM and other security technologies to identify, investigate and prioritise potential threats and incidents.
• Lead investigations into complex or high‑impact security incidents, coordinating containment, root cause analysis, remediation and lessons learned.
• Perform in-depth analysis of security logs, network traffic and threat intelligence to identify suspicious patterns, anomalies and emerging threats.
• Lead security control testing, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing and security assessments, working with relevant teams to address identified weaknesses.
• Provide technical security guidance to IT teams, system administrators, developers and wider stakeholders when introducing or changing systems and technologies.
• Act as a cyber security SME for the analyst team, supporting workload prioritisation, BAU activities, security initiatives and the mentoring of junior team members.
• Maintain high-quality security documentation and reporting, supporting alignment with internal security standards, ISO 27001 and wider regulatory requirements.

• Strong experience within Cyber Security and/or IT, with the technical depth required to operate at a senior analyst or SME level.
• Hands‑on knowledge of security technologies including SIEM, firewalls, DLP and endpoint detection/protection technologies.
• Strong understanding of security incident management, threat analysis and the practical application of cyber security tools.
• Experience working with security metrics, KPIs and SLAs, with the ability to communicate technical information clearly to stakeholders.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication and organisational skills, with the ability to operate effectively in a fast‑paced, global environment across multiple time zones.
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Azure Dev Ops and ITSM platforms including Service Now or Cherwell would be beneficial.
• Cyber Security qualifications such as CompTIA Security+, CySA+ or CISSP are desirable rather than essential.
