Senior Security Analyst

Ref: JO-2602-359414

  • Environment: Hybrid
  • Contract Type: Permanent
  • Starts: 2026-04-13

We’re looking for a senior security professional to drive cloud security governance while operating across broader enterprise security domains.

This role is heavily weighted toward Azure and Entra ID governance, but also spans identity, governance & controls, vulnerability management, risk, and incident response. It is not a narrow SOC role – we’re seeking breadth, ownership, and advisory maturity.

Key Focus Areas:

Cloud & Identity Governance (Highest Priority)

  • Azure & Entra ID security governance
  • Identity governance and privileged access strategy
  • Conditional access ownership
  • Secure configuration and cloud control uplift
  • Alignment to frameworks (e.g. NIST, Essential 8)

Broader Security Domains

  • Governance and control design
  • Vulnerability and risk management
  • Incident response oversight and uplift
  • Continuous security improvement initiatives

What We’re Looking For:

  • 10+ years’ experience across multiple security domains
  • Experience beyond SOC (governance, engineering, risk, uplift)
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and advisory capability
  • Ability to translate technical risk into business impact

Highly regarded: CISSP, GIAC, AZ-500, SC-100/300 or equivalent senior credentials.

The Opportunity:

You’ll act as a trusted SME, influence risk and governance discussions, and help uplift enterprise security maturity across cloud and beyond.

If you combine cloud governance depth with cross-domain breadth, we’d love to speak with you.
