Due to an internal promotion, Chubb now has an opportunity for a Cyber Security Senior Analyst in Blackburn.  With the use of a variety of tools including SIEM, SOAR, EDR and the Microsoft Azure Security Stack, you will lead the company’s first line of security investigation. You will also act as the line manager for a more junior Analyst, and as such this role is suitable for someone motivated to support and develop others. 

You will get the opportunity to work with some world-leading experts from across the company in a fast-paced & exciting environment where security is a priority.  This is a hands-on role reviewing and configuring security tooling as part of a major program of works within an established program management structure.

This is a hybrid role where you will be working from our Blackburn four days per week so it is essential that you live in commutable distance.

The Cyber Security Senior Analyst role is focused on securing Chubb’s estate by working both internally and with our external partners.

• Compiling reporting statistics using KQL to measure the success of set KPI’s
• Maintain a continuous understanding of the threat landscape with in-depth knowledge around threat actors, TTPs and vulnerabilities.
• Contribute to our Security Incident Management team, reacting to incidents out of hours and confident to make decisions quickly and without immediate input and advice.

This is a hands-on role and requires a broad technical knowledge, skills and abilities, and previous experience of relevant cyber security tools is essential.

Qualifications/ Experience/Knowledge:

• Ideally an educational qualification in a cyber discipline OR an industry technical qualification (Microsoft Security Operations Analyst SC-200)
