Cyber Security Analyst

Cyber Security Analyst 

Salary & Benefits: £55k to £75k + Bonus, Private Medical etc

Working arrangements: Remote, with 1 weekly visit to London or Stevenage 

We’re hiring a Cybersecurity Analyst to join a biotech company tackling one of the world’s toughest health challenges… cancer.

You’ll be part of a growing, hands-on cybersecurity function working across both IT and OT environments. This is a practical, get-stuck-in role, a mix of operational security and meaningful project delivery in a business that takes security seriously.

Your time will be split between managing security operations, reducing risk, strengthening Microsoft’s Security Score, and handling supplier risk, as well as delivering projects such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and cloud security improvements. With CASB implementation and Adaptive Shield on the roadmap, you’ll also have the chance to broaden your skillset as the security function evolves.

You’ll work with a small, skilled, and collaborative team alongside a Security Architect and report to the Director of IT GRC & Cybersecurity.
Expect to build strong relationships with internal teams like OT, Infrastructure, Applications, Workplace, and Cloud, and work directly with key external security vendors.

They’re looking for a mid-level analyst who knows Microsoft Sentinel, understands the real-world application of frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001, and can handle supplier risk and compliance without handholding.

Life sciences experience is ideal, but manufacturing or utilities would work too. If you’ve operated in critical environments where security matters, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll need:

• Experience in life sciences, manufacturing, or utilities

• Microsoft Sentinel (or similar SIEM)

• Microsoft Defender tools — Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Cloud Apps, Defender XDR

• Microsoft Purview (DLP) and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools (e.g., Adaptive Shield)

• Risk management, supplier assessments, and compliance frameworks — ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX

• Microsoft Security Certifications — SC-900, SC-200, SC-300, AZ-500

• IAM (Azure AD) and PAM tools — Azure PIM and BeyondTrust

• Exposure to threat intelligence and emerging threats

• Practical PowerShell skills for occasional automation

• Experience working across both IT and OT environments, with an understanding of the risks in each

Bonus points for:

• CISSP

• Knowledge of security tooling used in OT environments

• Cloud security experience (especially Azure)

Why this role?
Work on real projects, have meaningful input, and be trusted to get on with the job. You’ll join a company doing work that genuinely matters, backed by leadership that values security as a business enabler, not a tick-box exercise. And you’ll be part of a Microsoft Security-driven environment, giving you the chance to deepen your skills across Defender, Sentinel, and Azure AD.
