For our Innovation Technology department in London, we are looking to hire a Threat Intelligence Cyber Analyst to strengthen our award-winning Cyber Security Operations team. Berenberg, one of Europe’s leading investment banks, has built its reputation on trust, innovation, and resilience. Today, as the financial sector faces increasingly complex cyber threats, our cyber security operations team is recognised across the industry for their excellence in defending against sophisticated adversaries and ensuring operational resilience.

As a Threat Intelligence Cyber Analyst, you will be at the forefront of protecting Berenberg’s digital assets, client relationships, and global reputation. You will combine deep threat intelligence expertise with hands-on SecOps and monitoring experience to anticipate, detect, and respond to adversarial activity targeting the bank. This role blends technical rigour with strategic communication: you will be expected to deliver actionable insights to our Cyber Security Operations team while also shaping the intelligence that informs executives, regulators, and governance bodies.

What will you do?

• Monitor and analyse emerging cyber threats targeting banking and investment services.
• Work closely with our Cyber Security Operations team to enhance detection and response capabilities.
• Develop and refine monitoring use cases across endpoint, network, cloud, and financial transaction systems, based on the threat intelligence we receive.
• Provide actionable threat intelligence to support incident response, threat hunting, and forensic investigations.
• Deliver clear, tailored reports for technical teams, executives, and governance committees.

Who are we looking for?

Experience: Minimum of 4 - 6 years of experience in the Threat Intelligence space, with a focus on the financial services sector. Experience working in a Security Operations team conducting monitoring, detection, and triage activities across the wider IT organisation and business. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Experience in using Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs) widely used for sharing indicators of compromise (IOCs) and structured threat data with commercial platforms e.g. CyberInt, Recorded Future. Familiarity with open-source feeds, OSINT sources, dark web monitoring, and industry-specific intelligence (e.g. FS ISAC for Financial Services). Understanding of STIX/TAXII standards for structured threat data exchange. Experience with CBEST / TIBER EU frameworks for intelligence-led testing mandated by regulators like the Bank of England.

Education & Professional Credibility: Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field. Relevant certifications (e.g., GCTI, CTIA, CISSP, CISM, CEH, OSCP) are highly desirable.

Technical Skills: Strong knowledge of Threat Intelligence tools and techniques, as well as working with SIEM platforms (Splunk Enterprise Security and Microsoft 365 and Cloud Environments). Excellent analytical and critical thinking skills, with the ability to assess complex security issues and develop effective remediation strategies.

Collaboration & Team Ethos: A willingness to integrate into an award-winning cyber security operations team, contributing to collective success. A collaborative spirit, sharing knowledge and supporting colleagues across the Cyber Security Operations team and IT organisation.
