Cyber Security Engineer - E1, UK Wide

Description

Our customers demand a first-class service which is safe and secure. To support this, our Enterprise Security Operations team is currently looking for an ambitious cyber security professional, specifically with expertise or interest in Cyber Threat Intelligence.

You'll excel when working in fast paced environments where you are responsible for maintaining high standards of operational output. You’ll also be an advocate of threat intelligence and be passionate about it having a positive impact on operations, driving the development of our Cyber Security function to effectively meet business demand.

The successful candidate will be a major part of day-to-day collection, analysis, and dissemination of threat intelligence across the organisation.

This role is instrumental in contextualising threat intelligence into an actionable form and ensuring its relevance for appropriate stakeholders.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll be located at our nearest regional hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events in one of our office sites. This is anticipated to be quarterly in Swindon. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.

If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.

What you’ll be doing

You'll have a strong understanding of the cyber threats facing large organisations, along with the technical mitigations appropriate to those threats. As well as this, you’ll have a natural passion and curiosity for security and intelligence and be able to blend technical details with traditional intelligence tradecraft to produce concise, relevant, robust, and timely assessments, for technical and non-technical consumers.

You’ll be triaging and analysing collected data, including social media, dark web, and news stories and investigating complex threat intelligence reporting from our vendors and partners. You'll produce appropriate, refined, and robust intelligence products to answer requirements and provide actionable insights.

Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, you’ll need to communicate your assessments to an audience across multiple levels and departments. We work closely with our peers in other organisations, as well as our vendors, and the role will also be central in managing and developing these relationships.

About you

Proficient in report writing, with confidence presenting and reporting to audiences of varying levels of technical expertise.
Knowledge of the cyber security domain, including the tools, techniques and procedures used by attackers.
Comfortable analysing and triaging intelligence across the full intelligence lifecycle, from collection and processing through to analysis and dissemination, delivering timely actionable intelligence.
Awareness of cyber threat frameworks, analytical techniques and cyber threat modelling.
Highly analytical with the ability to collect and review technical and non-technical data to produce high quality actionable products in response to intelligence requirements.
Experience working with or within a Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC), and a good knowledge of vulnerability management operations and incident response activities would be beneficial.
Experience handling and disseminating material when responding to tactical, operational, and strategic objectives.
