Overview

Information Security Analyst | Security+, Microsoft Purview, Defender | Global Trading Platform

• Hybrid in Coventry with monthly travel to London
• Security certification support & career development built-in

Join a growing InfoSec team at the heart of a global financial institution’s expansion. As an Analyst, you’ll work hands-on with data governance, security tooling, and access management — helping to shape how a modern SME approaches cybersecurity. You’ll bring technical curiosity, the ability to interrogate data, and the confidence to advise IT teams on the practical steps that keep the business secure.

Responsibilities

• Recertification of accounts: Pulling and interrogating data through bespoke platforms
• Security tooling: Working with Defender, web proxy, and CrowdStrike-equivalent tools
• Data management: Supporting data labelling & retention projects using Purview or similar
• Governance support: Involved in data loss prevention, labelling, and stakeholder engagement (including DPO)
• Practical incident response input: Advising IT on immediate steps during incidents, converting theory into quick, actionable responses
• Ongoing InfoSec operations: Metrics, monitoring, and security projects across applications and users
• Microsoft Purview – Data governance and policy enforcement
• Microsoft Defender – Endpoint & email protection
• Web proxy & email security tools
• Azure (beneficial) – IAM, monitoring, and security logging

Qualifications

• 3+ years’ experience in an InfoSec, IT security, or analyst role
• Security certifications: Security+ and ideally Microsoft security certifications (e.g. SC-200/SC-400)
• Experience with security tools (Microsoft Defender, web proxy, email security, CrowdStrike or equivalents)
• Knowledge of single sign-on and zero trust networks (beyond just segregation)
• Exposure to data management / governance tools (e.g. Microsoft Purview, or similar)
• Strong communicator: able to translate technical concepts into practical advice for IT and stakeholders

Why this role?

• Be central to shaping data governance and security operations in a dynamic SME environment
• Hands-on exposure to a wide range of security tools and concepts (not siloed to audit work)
• Opportunity to advise and influence IT directly on practical security decisions
• Work alongside experienced InfoSec leadership who value mentoring and professional growth
