About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Cyber Security Analyst to help protect Transmax’s information systems, networks, services and applications from evolving cyber threats.

Reporting to the Information Systems and Security Director, you’ll play a key role in investigating security detections, triaging alerts, assessing risk, coordinating response activities with SMEs and supporting timely containment, remediation and escalation where required.

This is a senior individual contributor role (working within a team) suited to a technically strong cyber security professional who can work independently, apply sound judgement and collaborate effectively with subject matter experts across the business. You’ll also provide guidance and support to junior/less experienced cyber security team members, contributing to capability uplift and shared learning.

What You’ll Do

• Monitor and help protect networks, systems, services, applications and information from cyber threats by investigating detections, triaging alerts and responding to security events.
• Assist with security audits, security assessments and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities.
• Triage, validate and curate vulnerability findings from security tools and assessments, prioritising remediation based on severity, exploitability, asset criticality and business risk.
• Work with system owners and subject matter experts to clarify remediation requirements, track progress and support timely closure of vulnerabilities.
• Respond to security events and incidents by conducting investigations, providing analytical support, coordinating with subject matter experts and defining remediation, mitigation or escalation pathways.
• Contribute to, maintain and support the implementation of security policies, procedures, communications and awareness initiatives.
• Remediate or escalate non-compliance with security policies, processes and controls.
• Support incident response plans, processes and solutions where they are required as security risk mitigations or incident remediations.
• Collaborate with teams across Transmax to embed security into business processes, responsibilities and activities.
• Stay up to date with current cyber security threats, technologies, standards, regulatory requirements and threat intelligence.

What You’ll Bring

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in security analysis or a similar cyber security role.
• Strong investigation and triage skills across security detections, alerts and events, including the ability to assess severity, identify likely causes and determine appropriate response actions.
• Experience triaging and prioritising vulnerabilities using vulnerability management platforms, threat intelligence, asset context and risk-based remediation principles.
• Experience with security standards and regulatory frameworks such as ASD ISM, NIST CSF, ISO 27001 and MITRE ATT&CK.
• Comprehensive understanding of networking, protocols, firewalls, network security and information security principles.
• Solid experience working with Windows and Linux operating systems.
• Significant experience contributing to and maintaining security policies, processes, controls and procedures.
• Strong awareness of current cyber security vulnerabilities, threat behaviours, and tactics, techniques and procedures.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical details clearly and work effectively with stakeholders across the business.
• High attention to detail, strong analytical skills and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience with Rapid7, CrowdStrike and Splunk is preferred.
