About the job
Are you passionate about keeping businesses safe from cyber threats? We’re looking for a Cyber Security Analyst to join our team and help protect cardfactory and Funky Pigeon from evolving risks.
This is a role where your expertise really matters – you’ll be monitoring, analysing, and responding to security events, working closely with IT colleagues and external partners to keep our systems secure. Success here means spotting issues before they become problems, recommending smart solutions, and making sure our security posture stays strong.
You’ll be part of a team that takes security seriously and values your input. We offer hybrid working (typically 2–3 days a week in our Wakefield office near Junction 41), opportunities to develop your skills, and the chance to make a real impact in a growing business.
What you’ll be doing:
What we’re looking for:
1. Solid experience in IT security, including monitoring logs and responding to incidents.
2. Hands-on knowledge of security technologies such as SIEM, MDR/XDR, IDS/IPS, firewalls, vulnerability scanners, and Microsoft Azure.
3. Familiarity with security standards and frameworks like Cyber Essentials, CIS Controls, OWASP, and ISO 27001.
4. Strong analytical skills with the ability to stay calm under pressure and communicate clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
5. A relevant degree or equivalent experience, and ideally a recognised certification such as CompTIA Security+.
