Security Analyst

Job title: Security Analyst
Contract: Outside IR35
Duration: 3 months with chance of extension
Location: Remote

We're looking for a Security Analyst to join a team responsible for assessing new technology projects and launches to ensure they meet enterprise security standards.

You'll review technology initiatives across the organisation, identifying security risks and ensuring solutions align with internal security policies and standards. The team supports a broad range of projects, including SaaS products, cloud platforms, enterprise technology and emerging AI solutions.

*This is a technology security assessment role, rather than a hands-on security engineering position*

The role:
You'll be responsible for reviewing new and existing technology initiatives to identify potential security risks and assess whether solutions align with the organisation's security policies and standards.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Assessing technology projects against security policies and standards
• Reviewing SaaS platforms, cloud solutions and enterprise technology
• Identifying security risks and potential control gaps
• Providing practical security guidance to project and technology teams
• Assessing AWS environments from a security perspective
• Managing and prioritising a backlog of technology assessments
• Supporting the assessment of emerging AI and AI-enabled systems

What we're looking for:

• Experience in technology security analysis, assurance and assessment
• Experience reviewing technology projects, SaaS products and third-party solutions
• Good understanding of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• Understanding of security within AWS environments
• Able to assess how security policies apply to real-world technology solutions
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Familiarity with core business technology such as Jira, Microsoft 365 and Slack

Desirable:
Knowledge of AI and AI-enabled systems, including awareness of MCP, would be beneficial. You don't need to be an AI specialist, just practical understanding to assess the security of AI-focused technology.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
