About the Role

As a Cyber Incident Response Analyst, you will be part of the Cyber Defence team, detecting, analyzing, and responding to security incidents. You will integrate threat intelligence into investigations, help drive proactive defenses, and support global response needs. This role requires a detail-oriented, critical thinker with a strong grasp of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

Responsibilities

• Coordinate and triage response to cybersecurity events and conduct forensic analysis across endpoints, networks, cloud, and SaaS.
• Integrate threat intelligence into investigations, enriching IOCs, mapping activity to MITRE ATT&CK, identifying threat actors/TTPs, and assessing potential impact.
• Understand the threat landscape through collaboration with industry peers and intelligence sources, translating insights into actionable recommendations.
• Develop, maintain, and operationalize Incident Response playbooks and SOPs, including PIRs, collection plans, and feedback loops to refine detections.
• Work closely with the SOC to investigate incidents and deliver containment, remediation, and root cause analysis; produce high-quality intel-informed incident reports.
• Create and tune detections (e.g., SIEM/SOAR, EDR) using intelligence signals.
• Produce and present consumable intelligence outputs tailored to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to vulnerability/threat surfacing and advise on risk-based prioritization.
• Deliver actionable incident and hunting metrics to management; assess detection coverage and recommend improvements.
• Follow the end-to-end incident response lifecycle and support post-incident lessons learned with intelligence-driven enhancements.
• Build an understanding of key S&P technology, systems, and business practices to contextualize threats and drive pragmatic defenses.
• Participate in information-sharing activities in line with TLP and legal/compliance requirements.

Requirements

• Working knowledge of common cyber attacks, tools, and attacker tradecraft; ability to map activity to MITRE ATT&CK and articulate likely TTPs.
• Demonstrated experience handling security events in critical environments and applying intelligence to accelerate triage and response.
• Experience analyzing system, application, and cloud/SaaS logs to investigate security and operational issues; comfort enriching with IOCs and behaviours.
• Hands-on experience with a SIEM (Splunk preferred) for investigations, alert creation, reporting, and threat hunting.
• Ability to produce clear, actionable intel and incident reports, including executive-ready summaries and visuals.
• Familiarity with threat intel workflows: collection planning, source evaluation, indicator lifecycle, PIRs, TLP, and feedback loops to detections.
• Experience with one or more TIPs or intel data sources (e.g., MISP, OpenCTI, Recorded Future) and STIX/TAXII concepts.
• 3+ years of information security experience with a focus on incident response, threat hunting, or threat intelligence.
• Excellent communication skills for varied business and technical audiences; strong presentation skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment; passion for cyber security.
• Advanced knowledge of network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP) and operating systems.
• Experience in the financial services industry.
• Familiarity with threat hunting techniques (hypothesis-driven, ATT&CK-aligned, behavior-based).
• Windows and Linux administration tools and concepts.
• Understanding of threat actors and the cybercrime ecosystem, including initial access vectors, monetization paths, and supply-chain/SaaS attack patterns.
• Exposure to malware/TTP analysis at a functional level and creation of detections (e.g., Sigma/YARA) is a plus.
• Experience producing finished intelligence products and briefing senior stakeholders.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., GCTI, GCFA/GCFR, GCIH, FOR578) or equivalent experience.
• Familiarity with information-sharing standards and practices (FS-ISAC, TLP) and legal/compliance considerations.
• Knowledge of cloud provider threat models and telemetry (AWS, Azure, GCP, M365/SaaS).
• Second language and/or geopolitical awareness for actor context is a plus.
