Here's what you'll be doing:

Join Simply Business and you'll be on the front line, helping to protect us from sophisticated cyber threats and increasing the maturity of our Security Operations Centre (SOC). This is a hands-on technical position where you'll get the support and empowerment you need to grow your career and explore your passion for cyber security operations.

The world of cyber security moves fast, bringing new challenges and opportunities all the time. If you have a strong drive and a willingness to learn, this is an inspiring environment where you'll be an enabler, not a blocker, and help us bake security right into our tech. We're looking for someone keen to make a real impact on our security culture.

As one of our Junior Security Analysts, you'll:

  • Perform triage and initial investigation of security events and alerts across the Simply Business estate.
  • Be the face of InfoSec, working proactively with all teams and articulating the 'why' behind what we do to both technical and non-technical colleagues.
  • Follow, create, and improve operational processes and playbooks, making sure our documentation is accurate and up to date.
  • Collaborate with the team to tune alerts, reducing false positives and improving detection quality.
  • Stay current with security news and threat intelligence to proactively identify emerging threats or vulnerabilities.
  • Contribute to Security initiatives and projects by collaborating with the wider InfoSec and Engineering teams.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • A keen and demonstrated interest in Cyber Security Operations—this is your passion!
  • Bringing an analytical mindset and keen attention to detail.
  • Knowledgeable about operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, and networks, including common devices and protocols.
  • Someone with demonstrated experience of delivering project work.
  • (Great to have, but not essential): Experienced in an End User Support, Infrastructure, or Networking capacity, or a familiarity with Security tooling (SIEM, EDR, IDS, SASE).

(We know it’s tough, but please try to avoid the ​​confidence gap​.​​ You don’t have to match all the bullet points above to be considered for this role.)

We encourage people of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive, supportive place for you to be you and do your very best work.

This is a chance to move beyond theoretical knowledge and apply your skills in a practical, high-stakes environment where your work directly protects the business. If you're ready for autonomy, empowered to experiment, and eager to leave your mark on a rapidly maturing SOC, then take the next step and join us in our mission to secure Simply Business. Apply today.
