We make health happen
At Bupa, we’re passionate about technology. With colleagues, customers, patients and residents in mind you’ll have the opportunity to work on innovative projects and make a real impact on their lives. Right from the start you’ll become part of our digital & data strategy, joining us on our journey and developing yourself along the way.
In this role, you’ll help protect Bupa by staying one step ahead of cyber threats. You’ll bring threat‑led expertise to monitor what’s happening across the cyber landscape, understand emerging risks, and turn insights into meaningful action. Working closely with our Head of Threat Intelligence and guided by our Lead Threat Intelligence Analyst, you’ll play a key part in strengthening our defensive posture across BGIUK and our Business Units.
You’ll be responsible for driving situational awareness, leading threat hunting activities, and shaping how we detect, prevent, and respond to potential adversaries. Using intelligence, incident data, and effective reporting, you’ll proactively identify, prioritise, and escalate what matters most — helping us make smarter, faster decisions to keep our people, customers, and business safe.
How you’ll help us make health happen:
* Identify and shape tactical and strategic responses to current and emerging cyber threats.
* Work with vendors and partners to ensure threat content and analysis is timely, accurate, and supports future needs.
* Support the delivery of the Threat Management programme, including assessments, threat modelling, prioritisation, and remediation.
* Maintain and improve Threat Management processes, tools, and procedures to ensure effective detection, assessment, and mitigation of threats.
* Research nation‑state actors, campaigns, and malware across open, deep, and dark web sources to produce predictive intelligence.
* Create timely, relevant, accurate, and actionable threat intelligence.
* Build strong relationships across Group CISO, security, technology, cloud, architecture and incident management teams to coordinate threat mitigation.
* Provide guidance on remediation strategies, security best practice, and risk reduction aligned to organisational and regulatory requirements.
* Contribute to attack‑simulation and social‑engineering testing using industry best practices.
* Prepare and present threat reports, dashboards, and recommendations tailored to technical and senior audiences.
* Support performance metrics, continuously evaluating and improving Threat Management controls and processes.
* Help identify, document, assess, and mitigate risks, working with other teams to design effective controls.
Key Skills / Qualifications needed for this role:
* Professional cyber security certifications (e.g., OCSP, CISSP, GCTI, GREM, CEH).
* 5+ years’ experience in cybersecurity, with strong background in Threat Management and defensive security in regulated environments.
* Deep knowledge of common security threats, attack vectors, and threat‑analysis frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, Diamond Model).
* Skilled in using threat management, incident response, and remediation tools, including OSINT and specialist platforms (e.g., Shodan, Censys, DomainTools, VirusTotal, SIEM, EDR).
* Experience with Red Teaming, Purple Teaming, and automated attack techniques.
* Strong understanding of security standards and regulations (NIST CSF, PCI DSS, GDPR/DPA 2018, ISO 27001).
* Experience managing threats in cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP), including Zero Trust models, containers, and Kubernetes/serverless architectures.
* Excellent analytical skills with the ability to turn complex technical information into clear recommendations.
* Strong communication skills, able to explain technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders and senior leaders.
* Confident decision‑maker, able to work independently under pressure, with high confidentiality and pace.
* Capable of mentoring junior team members, reviewing outputs, and maintaining high quality standards.
* Self‑motivated, organised, and able to prioritise effectively.
* Acts as an individual contributor while also supporting capability growth across the team by inspiring and developing others.
