The Opportunity

An established, global organization is looking to add a Cyber Threat Intelligence Specialist to its growing cybersecurity team.

This is an opportunity for someone with a strong investigative mindset who enjoys staying one step ahead of cybercriminals. You'll play an important role in uncovering potential security threats, monitoring activity across the web and dark web, and helping the organization identify risks before they turn into larger security incidents.

From tracking ransomware groups and investigating stolen credentials to uncovering potential data leaks and emerging attack methods, you'll have the opportunity to work on a variety of evolving cyber threats. You'll also help the business understand what these findings mean and where action may be needed.

What You'll Be Doing:

- Keep a close eye on underground forums, dark web marketplaces, leak sites and other online sources where cybercriminal activity takes place.
- Research and follow the activity of ransomware groups, cybercriminal networks and other known threat actors.
- Uncover and investigate potential data exposures, stolen credentials, compromised accounts and phishing activity.
- Use OSINT techniques and threat intelligence tools to gather information, connect the dots and identify potential risks.
- Separate credible threats from noise, assessing what is legitimate and what requires further investigation.
- Build an understanding of threat actors, their behaviours and the techniques they use to target organizations.
- Turn investigative findings into clear intelligence reports and updates for both technical teams and senior leadership.
- Stay informed on emerging cyber risks, including AI-driven phishing, deepfakes and executive impersonation.

What You'll Bring:

- 3-7 years of experience in Cyber Threat Intelligence, Cyber Investigations, Digital Forensics or a related cybersecurity discipline.
- Practical experience researching cybercriminal activity and navigating dark web or underground communities.
- Strong OSINT and investigative research capabilities.
- An understanding of the current cyber threat landscape, including ransomware, threat actors and common attack techniques.
- Experience looking into data breaches, exposed credentials, phishing campaigns and other security threats.
- Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK or the Cyber Kill Chain.
