Does this sound like you?

You're a proactive and detail-driven cyber security professional who thrives on staying ahead of threats and building resilient systems. Analytical by nature, you're always two steps ahead - translating complex risks into real-world solutions. Whether it’s leading incident response, identifying vulnerabilities, or influencing strategy, you combine technical depth with a calm, collaborative mindset. You're ready to drive impactful security initiatives and support teams across the business to stay secure, informed, and compliant.

What you’ll be doing (in a nutshell):

As our Senior Cyber Security Analyst, you’ll play a critical role in protecting Perkbox’s digital estate. You’ll lead investigations, manage our security tooling, and work cross-functionally to ensure our infrastructure remains secure, compliant, and future-ready. Alongside hands-on analysis, you’ll provide strategic insight and act as a mentor for junior team members, helping shape a forward-thinking security culture across the business.

Day-to-day you can expect to:

• Lead incident response for breaches, malware attacks, root cause analysis, and recovery
• Monitor threat feeds and correlate intelligence with tooling to identify emerging risks
• Oversee vulnerability management and assess remediation effectiveness
• Collaborate with IT, DevOps, and GRC to align security efforts with business goals
• Manage and refine configurations for our security tools, and recommend new solutions
• Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation for incidents and investigations
• Contribute to the ongoing development of our cybersecurity strategy
• Promote best practices and awareness across the wider organisation
• Stay ahead of cyber threats, ensuring zero-day vulnerabilities are discovered and actioned quickly
• Own the planning and execution of our annual penetration testing activity

To be successful, you'll have:

• Experience using vulnerability scanning tools and remediating software/hardware issues
• A solid understanding of both automated and manual penetration testing
• Hands-on experience identifying, testing, and mitigating system vulnerabilities
• A strong grasp of threat intelligence and incident response processes
• A collaborative mindset, with the ability to explain technical risks to non-technical audiences
• Logical and lateral problem-solving skills
• Calmness under pressure and the ability to multitask effectively across projects

Bonus points if you bring:

• Confidence presenting basic cyber security concepts to broader teams
• A self-starter attitude with strong research instincts
