Job Description

GKN Automotive is a world-leading global automotive technology company at the forefront of innovation. Its origins date back to 1759 and for the last 70 years it has been putting key technologies into series production.

We are the trusted partner for most of the world s automotive companies, specialising in developing, building, and supplying market-leading drive systems and advanced ePowertrain technologies.

GKN Automotive is part of Dowlais Group plc, a specialist engineering group focused on the automotive sector.

What you ll do:

The Cyber Defence Analyst plays a meaningful role in improving the organisation s security posture by bridging the gap between incident response and vulnerability management. Operating in a hybrid model, this role works closely with a supplier landscape that provides first-line monitoring and escalates incidents for further investigation. As such, the Cyber Defence Analyst is expected to operate at a level capable of handling complex investigations, leading response efforts, and driving remediation activities.

This role supports both the Security Monitoring and Vulnerability Management functions, ensuring a cohesive, end-to-end approach to cyber defence. By responding to threats in real time and proactively reducing the organisation s exposure to future risks, the Cyber Defence Analyst helps maintain a resilient and unified security operation.

As this role operates within a dynamic Security Operations environment, there may be occasions where you will be required to provide surge capacity in response to emerging security incidents, emerging threats, or urgent vulnerability disclosures. This includes stepping in to support urgent investigations, remediation efforts, or other time-sensitive security activities that may arise to protect the business.

Key responsibilities include:

Serve between Security Monitoring and Vulnerability Management teams.
Act as a key responder to security incidents, driving investigation, containment, and recovery activities.
Assist in identifying, assessing, and tracking remediation of vulnerabilities across the organisation.
Perform in-depth analysis of security alerts, logs, and telemetry from SIEM, EDR, and other security tools.
Support scanning, reporting, and communication of vulnerability data to collaborators.
Develop and refine detection logic to improve visibility and reduce false positives, using frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
Maintain and improve incident response playbooks, ensuring they reflect current threats and standard methodologies.
Know the latest threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and apply them to improve defences.
Find opportunities to automate repetitive tasks across security monitoring and vulnerability workflows.
Promote a unified approach to cyber defence, avoiding siloed operations.
Support initiatives that strengthen the organisation s overall cyber resilience.

What you ll need:

Demonstrable experience in information security, with a focus on security operations.
Proven track record in stakeholder and partner/vendor management and collaboration across various groups.
Experience handling incidents and supporting complex investigations.
Hands-on experience with technical tools commonly used in Security Operations, including but not limited to SIEM platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions, Threat Intelligence platforms (e.g., KELA), and Vulnerability Management tools (e.g., Qualys).
Confident in analysing logs from various sources such as endpoints, networks & cloud services.
Ability to apply threat intelligence to enrich investigations.
Good understanding of relevant threat actors, relevant frameworks and CVSS scoring
Ability to script or automate tasks.
Familiarity with infrastructure, cloud, and application security principles.
Able to write reports and tailor them to a mixture of collaborators.
While certifications are not a strict requirement, they can improve a candidate s profile by demonstrating relevant expertise. Any recognised security certifications will be considered, with value placed on those that demonstrate expertise in core blue team disciplines, as well as vulnerability and risk management.

Why you ll love working here:

Market-leading company with lots of potential
Opportunity to take part in brand-new company projects
Attractive salary and benefits at a stable and financially healthy company
An organisation where you can commit to the long-term
Working in the OneIT team with colleagues around the globe
