About this opportunity: The Chief Security Office (CSO) plays a vital role in delivering Lloyds Banking Group's vision of putting customers at the heart of everything we do, helping Britain prosper, and protecting the Group and its customers and suppliers from security threats.

The CSO Intelligence Team identifies existing, emerging, and future threats against the Group’s customers, colleagues, assets, and data, originating from a variety of sources.

We’re currently recruiting for an experienced Intelligence Analyst to expand our Threat Intelligence Team. As an Intelligence Analyst, your role will focus on the cyber, physical, and geopolitical threat landscapes, applying the intelligence lifecycle to provide consumable products that inform the wider business and relevant security stakeholders.

You will collect, process, analyse, and disseminate actionable intelligence to partners and colleagues at every level across the Group. This includes delivering rapid assessments that offer timely and actionable intelligence. We are looking for an analyst with demonstrable experience in executing all stages of the intelligence cycle and in-depth knowledge of intelligence best practices.

To demonstrate success, we want you to be organised, efficient, and adaptable, working both individually and as part of a team. You will embrace fresh challenges with innovative solutions and responses. We’re looking for someone who is dedicated, able to work fast, creatively, and determinedly, helping the Group and its customers stay safe from threats today – and tomorrow.

What you’ll need:

1. The ability to efficiently deliver high-quality intelligence under tight deadlines.
2. Practical intelligence experience or relevant qualifications with hands-on knowledge of intelligence methodologies.
3. Strong understanding of the threat landscape, including cyber, physical or geopolitical threats and how they pertain to the UK Financial Sector.
4. Clear and concise communication of complex intelligence findings to various audiences.
5. Proficiency in validating sources and assessing the credibility of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT).
6. Experience bringing together diverse and complex data sources to compile a comprehensive and cohesive threat assessment.
7. Commitment to ongoing training and development to ensure you remain an empowered and specialised team member, consistently delivering high-quality service while learning and growing as needed.

Any experience of these would be really useful:

1. An understanding of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and working with threat actor tactics, techniques and procedures.
2. Additional higher-level education (MA, MSc etc..) in relevant field or equivalent professional qualifications.
3. Experience in developing and building an intelligence operating framework, processes, and aligning to the strategic vision of a wider organisation.
4. Self-motivation to explore and implement innovative solutions using automation for continuous optimisation.
5. Strong public speaking skills with the ability to effectively communicate to both internal and external stakeholders.
