Help us create a better future, quicker
We're looking for a Senior Security Operations Analyst to play a key role in the UK CSIRT team and to deliver a wide range of security services within our Cyber Fusion Centre. You'll be part of a wider team that oversees vulnerability management, threat intelligence, event monitoring, security configuration, security testing, digital forensics, and threat hunting—working together to strengthen our organisation's overall security posture.
What you'll be doing
Cyber Security Incident Response processes. You'll design, test and embed new capabilities that ensure ScottishPower can quickly detect and respond to emerging threats, helping protect both our customers and our business. You will lead incident response activities, monitoring and analysing threat data, managing alerts and guiding incidents from identification through containment, eradication and recovery, all while following established playbooks and industry best practices.
Your expertise will also support the wider Cyber Fusion Centre through the coordination and development of tools and services, ensuring that each has the right operating model behind it. Working closely with both IT and OT security teams, you'll help deliver a truly integrated approach to cybersecurity across the organisation.
What you'll bring
We're looking for someone with deep technical understanding of Security Operations and specialist knowledge of IT security, supported by relevant industry certifications, with an appreciation of OT security. You'll bring experience in cyber incident response, including leading investigations of varying severity, along with the ability to configure and support security tools and define effective monitoring and response use‑cases. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the capability to translate technical information into clear, meaningful insights for stakeholders at all levels. A solid knowledge of threat actors, frameworks, and regulatory requirements within the energy sector will help you thrive, and a collaborative approach will ensure you're a valued part of the team.
If you're ready to help drive our security capabilities forward and make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
