- Lead the design and implementation of automation or tooling to improve workflows and reporting across Cyber Defence teams.
- Collaborate with incident response, detection, cybercrime to deliver effective business reporting and insights; assist with incident write-ups and proactive alerting of anomalies.
- Act as a strategic partner for the Cyber Defence Operations function, advising on data management, new analytic initiatives, and analytics-driven process improvements.
- Undertake any other tasks as assigned, in accordance with bank policies and regulatory requirements.
We support our people with flexibility and a hybrid work approach, alongside flexible arrangements around hours, part-time options, and job shares. Here, you'll thrive-facing challenges, leveraging new opportunities, and making a real impact.
We are interested in hearing from people who have:
- Demonstrated experience in Cyber Defence operations (such as incident response, cyber threat intel, detection engineering, cybercrime) OR experience in Data Science/Analytics applied to security operation domains.
- Knowledge of IT security principals, cyber defence processes, and software security architecture.
- Experience in incident analysis, reporting, and documentation in cyber teams.
- Proficiency with SIEM technologies and security data analysis.
- Experience building automated data processing pipelines, analytics dashboards, and reporting for technical or security teams.
- Experience utilising Generative AI tools (Co-Pilot etc), large language models, and other modern analytics approaches in engineering or research practices.
Your qualifications:
- Tertiary qualifications in Computer Science, Cyber Security, Data Science, IT, or related discipline, or nearing completion.
- Relevant industry certifications such as SANS/GIAC or Relevant Security Risk Management certifications are advantageous.
- Participation and membership of relevant industry associations.
Whether you're passionate about customer service, driven by data, or called by creativity, a career here is for you.
Our people bring their diverse backgrounds and unique perspectives to build a respectful, inclusive and flexible workplace. We are working hard to build a team of people who represent the rich diversity of our customers and communities. If you're excited about this opportunity but you don't meet every single requirement, or your experience doesn't align perfectly, we still want to encourage you to apply.
