The Vacancy
Let us tell you a bit about the opportunity
This is a pivotal role within our Security Operations (SecOps) function, reporting directly to the Cyber Defence and Incident Response Manager. You'll be stepping into an established and respected Threat Intelligence team that's already delivering real value - and now we're looking for someone to take it to the next level. This is your opportunity to shape and drive our cyber threat intelligence (CTI) strategy, bringing your expertise to a team that's ready to evolve and push boundaries.
You'll be at the heart of our cyber defence capability, delivering actionable, timely threat intelligence that informs decision-making across both technical teams and the wider business. Whether it's guiding SOC operations, enhancing incident response, or helping senior stakeholders stay ahead of emerging threats, your insights will directly influence how we manage risk and protect the organisation. If you're ready to lead, innovate and make a tangible impact in a mature, forward-thinking team - this is your chance.
What will your day look like?
• Lead the Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) program, aligning strategy with business goals, risk appetite, and the overarching security vision.
• Drive a culture of threat-informed security, integrating intelligence into SOC, incident response, vulnerability management, and executive decisions.
• Collect, analyse, and produce actionable intelligence from internal, open-source, commercial, and community sources - covering tactical to strategic levels.
• Track and profile threat actors and campaigns using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, delivering timely insights on emerging threats and TTPs.
• Enhance collaboration and integration, ensuring intelligence is effectively operationalised across key teams and platforms, with automation where possible.
• Champion continuous improvement and external collaboration, building trusted partnerships, ensuring compliance, and advancing CTI capabilities through training and innovation.
What do we expect from you?
• Extensive hands-on experience in Cyber Threat Intelligence, with a deep understanding of threat actor behaviours, TTPs, and intelligence lifecycle methodologies (e.g. MITRE ATT&CK, Kill Chain, Diamond Model).
• Proven track record in shaping CTI strategy and developing intelligence capabilities, ensuring alignment with business risk, security objectives, and evolving threats.
• Strong collaboration with SecOps/Cyber Defence teams, integrating intelligence into detection, response, and proactive threat mitigation efforts.
• Ability to build strong cross-functional relationships beyond the CISO function, working effectively with teams such as Financial Crime and Third-Party Risk to operationalise threat intelligence.
• Expertise in managing and prioritising intelligence requirements, delivering timely, relevant insights on high-impact threats such as ransomware, and supporting incident response.
• Skilled in tools, platforms and automation, with experience using TIPs, SIEMs, SOARs, and scripting to drive data enrichment, process efficiency, and continuous CTI lifecycle improvement.
