Job Title: Security Analyst / Security Consultant Location: Remote (actually remote. No “mandatory culture days”) Salary: £55,000 + 10% Bonus and Benefits Let’s skip the corporate fluff. This is a Security Analyst / Consultant role for someone who gets it. Someone who knows that “secure by design” isn't just something you write in a Confluence doc. Someone who knows risk isn’t always a red RAG status - and can explain the difference between a real issue and a theoretical one. We're building secure products across a complex cloud environment (yes, both Azure and AWS). You’ll be the person making sure what we build isn’t just functional - but secure, sustainable, and risk-aware. What you’ll actually be doing: • Embedding yourself in engineering teams, making sure security is considered before, during and after development - not after someone clicks deploy., • Leading the charge on application security - from secure coding principles to automated AppSec testing in CI/CD pipelines., • Running (or helping run) threat modelling sessions and ensuring they're more than just drawing spiders on whiteboards., • Working with devs and testers to embed security controls early in the lifecycle., • Bringing DevSecOps principles into play - not just sprinkling tools into pipelines and calling it a day., • Providing end-to-end security assurance of cloud-based products - containers, APIs, apps, infrastructure., • Translating technical risk into business language that makes sense to non-technical decision-makers., • Partnering with security testers to ensure ethical hacking, code reviews, infrastructure scans, and app assessments are done properly - not tick-box-style. You should probably already know a bit about: • Cloud security across Azure and AWS – IAM, storage, networking, serverless, containers, monitoring. Not expecting you to be a cloud architect, but you should know your way around., • DevSecOps practices – secure pipelines, IaC security, dependency scanning, GitHub/Jenkins integrations., • Application security – OWASP Top 10, SAST/DAST tooling, secrets management, API security., • Threat modelling – Ideally STRIDE, or something better. And you can do it with a dev team, not just in theory., • Vulnerability and risk management – and how to avoid both being reduced to spreadsheets., • Frameworks like NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, and compliance stuff like PCI-DSS., • SIEMs, WAFs, DLPs, EDRs, and all the other acronym-heavy tools you’ve learned to assess critically. You’ll do well here if: • You speak fluent “tech” and “business”., • You can spot a security gap without being a pain about it., • You’re comfortable saying “no” - but you always explain why., • You’re curious, self-driven, and allergic to box-ticking., • You can back your views up with data, experience, or even just logic. Letters & certs are nice (but not essential): • Security+, CISM, CISSP, CCSK, CCAK, Azure/AWS security certs, MSc Cybersecurity, etc., • Or you’ve just done the job long enough that you know your stuff without the need for badges. Apply if that sounds like you. If you're looking for a clipboard and a checklist, this isn't it.

Skills, Experience & Qualification Requirements Must-haves: • Substantial experience in pre-sales / solutions consulting / technical consulting roles, especially in the Financial Services or Wealth Management space., • Strong technical background: experience with machine learning, LLMs and AI systems; understanding of data pipelines, integrations, APIs, security and compliance sensitive environments., • Ability to design solutions vs just selling features: architectural thinking, trade-off evaluation, understanding of scalability, performance, data governance., • Excellent communication and presentation skills: able to adapt technical stories for non-technical executives (e.g. risk / compliance / operations leaders) as well as technical audiences., • Experience leading or contributing in POCs, custom demos and pilot deployments., • Deep understanding of regulatory and risk & compliance in financial services., • Good project management and stakeholder management skills: managing cross functional teams, setting expectations, handling ambiguity.
