Cyber Threat Hunt & Offensive Security Analyst
£60,000–£70,000 + Bonus, medical | Permanent | Hybrid (Up to 3 days per week in North Leicester or another Midlands office)
We’re working with a CISO for a FTSE 100 UK Bluechip to appoint a Cyber Threat Hunt & Offensive Security Analyst to join their growing cyber security capability.
This role sits within the Threat & Vulnerability Management function and will focus on proactively identifying vulnerabilities, simulating real‑world attacker behaviour and strengthening the organisation’s detection and response capabilities.
The Role:
- Deliver targeted penetration testing across applications, infrastructure, cloud and identity environments.
- Conduct proactive threat hunting activities aligned to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
- Run red team / adversary emulation and purple team exercises to test and improve security controls.
- Work closely with Security Operations teams to turn threat hunting insights into detections and playbooks.
- Coordinate external penetration testing providers and validate findings.
- Track vulnerability remediation and verify improvements to security controls.
- Maintain a secure testing lab environment and offensive security tooling stack.
- Produce clear and actionable reports for both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
What we’re looking for:
- Hands‑on experience in offensive security, penetration testing or threat hunting.
- Strong understanding of attack paths across web/app, infrastructure and cloud environments.
- Experience using security tooling, scripting and SIEM queries to support threat hunting and detection validation.
- Strong focus on safe testing practices and operational security.
Relevant certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, CREST CRT/CCT or GIAC (GPEN/GXPN) would be advantageous, though strong practical experience is equally valued.
This role is part of a large cyber team build, and provides the opportunity to shape the Threat and Offensive Security strategy for a bluechip organisation.
