• Correlate threat data from SIEMs, feeds and security tooling to support detection and response activities.
• Produce clear, actionable intelligence reports and briefings for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate with Security Operations, Incident Response and Risk teams to strengthen cyber defence capabilities.

• Experience within Cyber Threat Intelligence, Security Operations or a related cyber security environment.
• Knowledge of threat intelligence methodologies, OSINT investigations and threat analysis techniques.
• Experience working with SIEM platforms, threat intelligence tools and security data sources.
• Strong understanding of networking, security principles and common attack frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
• Excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to present insights clearly.
