Cambridge

C£45k

Are you ready to elevate your cyber security career and make a real impact?

We're exclusively partnering with a leading organisation based in Cambridge who are looking to bring a Security Analyst into their high-performing IT team on a 2 year Fixed Term basis. If you're passionate about cyber security, keen to grow your skills, and want to be part of a team that values your expertise, this could be your next move.

In this role, you'll be front and centre when it comes to threat prevention, detection, and response - a key player in safeguarding the organisation's infrastructure and data. You won't just be keeping the lights on - you'll be actively involved in security projects, contributing ideas, and influencing best practices.

Why apply?

  • Progression: This isn't a role where you'll stagnate. With a strong culture of internal development, you'll be given real support to level up your career - whether that's new certifications, exposure to cutting-edge tools, or progression opportunities.
  • Impact: Your work will directly protect and influence a large, reputable organisation that takes security seriously.
  • Collaboration: Join a skilled and respected IT team where your voice is heard, and your experience is valued.

What you'll be doing:

  • Actively hunt for threats and investigate security alerts
  • Log, track, and respond to security incidents
  • Be part of ongoing security projects and initiatives
  • Administer firewalls and support wider IT security functions
  • Promote best practice across the organisation and escalate as needed

Requirements:

  • 3+ years' experience in a cyber security-focused role (Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, Security Engineer, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience with threat hunting, logging, and prevention
  • Investigate security incidents
  • Confident communicator with the ability to collaborate and advise
  • Based within a commutable distance to Cambridge (Driving licence essential)
  • Full right to work in the UK without any restrictions

This isn't an entry-level role, so if you've already got a solid foundation in security and want to grow within a business that genuinely supports your development - this could be the one for you. Please note this is a 2 year FTC.

If you're ready to step up, learn more, and be part of a respected organisation with a strong security culture, reach out today.
