An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our growing ICT Department as a member of the InfoSec team, working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment with new challenges every day, based in our Manchester Head Office. Having rationalised our infrastructure and established a modern, cloud-first security stack, it is an exciting time to join the business as we mature our detection, response, and automation capabilities across a global estate. You will work collaboratively with the business and the wider IT team - Infrastructure, Network, Development, DevOps, and Service Desk - to provide security and governance for existing and new services.
The purpose of this role is to deliver the day-to-day security operations of the InfoSec Team and to act as a first point of escalation and support for our Junior and Graduate analysts. Reporting to the Associate Director - Cyber Security, you will work closely with other team members, IT colleagues, and the wider business to ensure a consistent approach to information and cyber security across all areas of IT.
You will analyse security events, investigate alerts, identify issues, and recommend and implement solutions, while keeping up to date with current threats, technologies, and techniques. You will be responsible for daily security operations, ensuring risks are identified and resolved in a timely manner. In practice, this means managing tickets and requests through Halo ITSM and working daily with Palo Alto Cortex XSIAM and XSOAR, Cortex XDR, Microsoft Purview, Mimecast, Abnormal, Nessus, and Microsoft 365.
You will participate in security investigations and incident response, responding to events involving malware, data loss, phishing, or network intrusion, and supporting our data protection and vulnerability management activity. You will work both independently and collaboratively, sharing knowledge openly and supporting your colleagues across all regions. You will follow security best practice, apply the principles of layered security, and serve as a trusted resource to the wider business on all matters of information and cyber security.
This is a customer-facing role, so you will be a strong communicator, able to explain complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, with your input helping to shape and improve our day-to-day monitoring, detection, and response. You will be self-motivated, bringing the knowledge and experience gained in previous roles, genuinely passionate about data and cyber security, and committed to continued learning and professional development.
Key Objectives and Responsibilities
Daily Operations & Incident Handling Manage day-to-day security tickets, requests, and alerts through Halo ITSM, meeting SLAs and making full use of existing automation.

Respond to security incidents involving malware, data loss, phishing, or network intrusion, following established playbooks and incident response processes. Manage email security operations across Mimecast and Abnormal, including releases, journal pulls, and reported-phishing investigations. Monitor threat feeds and threat intelligence, applying relevant findings to the environment. Maintain and tune detections, correlation rules, and Cortex XSOAR playbooks to reduce noise and improve response times. Identify opportunities for automation and continual improvement across monitoring and response workflows. Contribute to the development and upkeep of SOC processes, runbooks, and documentation. Run and interpret vulnerability scans using Nessus, tracking remediation through to closure with the relevant teams. Support endpoint security and patch compliance across the Windows and macOS estates, working with Intune, Jamf, Alectrona, and Cortex XDR.
