The position operates as part of a global team, and occasional travel to Spain or other company locations may be required. Due to the sensitive nature of the role, successful candidates will need to be eligible for NSV SC clearance, which requires continuous UK residency for the past five years.What you’ll be doing In this role, you’ll play a key part in protecting our organisation, customers and critical services by supporting the UK CSIRT. Working within a global cyber security function, you’ll help deliver a wide range of security capabilities, including incident response, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, security monitoring, digital forensics and threat hunting. As a Security Operations Analyst, you will coordinate and execute cyber security incident response processes, working closely with colleagues across local and international teams. You’ll be involved in creating, testing and embedding new security processes and services, ensuring ScottishPower can quickly detect and respond to cyber threats while minimising business and customer impact. Day to day, you’ll monitor and analyse threat data, manage incidents from identification through to recovery and lessons learned, and ensure responses align with best-practice playbooks and industry standards. You’ll also support the wider Cyber Fusion Centre by helping define, build and maintain the tools and technologies used by the CSIRT, taking ownership of effective support models across the security toolset.
