The Role and the Team

At Blue Light Card, we’re opening an exciting opportunity for a Security Analyst to join our growing Technology & Security function. As we continue to scale in the UK and Australia, safeguarding our members, systems, and data is more important than ever.

We’re committed to building secure, resilient digital experiences that support millions of frontline workers across the UK. Our recent platform evolution has created space for improved security tooling, stronger operational processes, and opportunities for analysts who want to directly influence how we protect the organisation.

You’ll join an agile, supportive team that partners closely with Technology, Engineering, and People teams. Collaboration and curiosity are encouraged as we enhance our security posture, uplift awareness, and ensure our defences stay ahead of emerging threats.

What You’ll Do

• Monitor, triage, and analyse security alerts from SIEM, EDR, and cloud security tooling—documenting findings and escalating incidents through defined response procedures
• Manage and deliver the organisation’s simulated phishing programme, including campaign creation, scheduling, execution, trend analysis, and follow‑up
• Develop and deliver compelling, inclusive security awareness content that strengthens our security culture and drives measurable behavioural change
• Create, refine, and maintain SOPs, playbooks, and procedural documentation that support consistent, high-quality security operations
• Produce clear, insightful reporting on alert activity, phishing performance, awareness engagement, and other security metrics to support decision‑making
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to embed secure practices into everyday processes and initiatives
• Contribute to continuous improvement across tooling, detection logic, operational processes, and awareness strategies
• Stay up to date with emerging threats, attack patterns, and best practices—bringing relevant insights back into the team

What You’ll Bring

• Proven capability in security alert triage, including assessing severity, identifying root causes, and escalating incidents appropriately
• Hands‑on experience with SIEM, EDR, and cloud security tools, with the ability to interpret signals, spot anomalies, and validate alerts
• Confidence managing phishing simulation programmes, analysing user behaviour, identifying trends, and informing targeted awareness initiatives
• Strong technical communication and documentation skills, with the ability to produce clear SOPs, playbooks, and guidance material
• Solid foundational security knowledge, including common attack vectors, threat behaviours, and security best practices (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials)
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into accessible, engaging content for both technical and non‑technical audiences
• Structured, detail‑driven problem‑solving, with sound judgement and the ability to operate with autonomy across defined processes
• An inclusive, collaborative mindset, contributing to a positive security culture and supporting others across the organisation
