You're ready to drive impactful security initiatives and support teams across the business to stay secure, informed, and compliant.

What you'll be doing (in a nutshell)

As our Senior Cyber Security Analyst, you'll play a critical role in protecting Perkbox's digital estate. You'll lead investigations, manage our security tooling, and work cross-functionally to keep our infrastructure secure, compliant, and future-ready.

• A solid understanding of both automated and manual penetration testing
• Hands-on experience identifying, testing, and mitigating system vulnerabilities
• A strong grasp of threat intelligence and incident response processes
• A broad variety of technical skills across cyber security, covering network, web app, and end user devices
• A decent working knowledge of AWS, Route 53, and modern micro-service architecture
• A collaborative mindset, with the ability to explain technical risks to non-technical audiences
• Logical and lateral problem-solving skills
• Calmness under pressure and the ability to multitask effectively across projects

Bonus points if you bring

• Confidence presenting cyber security concepts to broader teams
