Information Security Analyst (Birmingham)

Information Security Analyst

Location: Birmingham area (with travel across the UK and Europe)

Salary: £40,000 + benefits

Hybrid / On-site 3 days per week

TECHTRACE Partners are recruiting on behalf of a leading UK-based company with operations across Europe. This is a group-level security role, working as part of an established team, supporting multiple business units and contributing to a broader programme of cyber resilience.

You’ll be hands-on with tooling, controls, and incident response – while also helping shape how security is delivered across the group. It’s a business that takes security seriously and offers room to grow your career as the function evolves.

Key Responsibilities

• Support and maintain group-wide security tooling — including Tenable, EDR, access controls, and SIEM
• Assist in managing security incidents and work with stakeholders on resolution and reporting
• Contribute to third-party security assessments and vendor risk reviews
• Coordinate technical testing such as penetration tests and manage remediation activities
• Carry out regular monitoring and checks to ensure security tooling is optimised
• Provide advice and support to business units on security best practice and control implementation

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience with security tooling (EDR, vulnerability scanning, access control)
• Familiarity with Security frameworks such as NIST, PCI-DSS, and GDPR
• Experience working with Microsoft environments (O365, Azure)
• Clear communicator, able to engage with both IT and non-technical teams
• Full UK driving licence required due to site and travel requirements

This Isn’t an Entry-Level Role

You’ll need real-world experience in security operations or IT with a security focus – enough to manage tooling, contribute to incidents, and confidently communicate security across the business.

This role would suit someone who…

• Has worked in a SOC or security analyst role, and wants to take on broader responsibilities
• Has been the security point-person in an IT team, leading on patching or endpoint protection
• Has hands-on experience with vulnerability management tools like Tenable, and is ready to play a bigger role in shaping how security tools are implemented and optimised across the business.

This is a chance to grow with a business that’s invested in security -and to be part of a team that’s actually doing the work properly. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
