Job description

Role: Permanent: Full time

Salary: £45,000.00 per annum

Based in: Covent Garden, London

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world‑class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts - we may be a House, but three quarters of our audiences experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world.

Our Technology Department is responsible for the management of all services, infrastructure and business projects across the organisation, ensuring RBO staff have the technology and tools to be able to fulfil their roles and operate effectively.

Within our Technology department sits our cyber security team who are looking to hire an analyst to join them.

Our Cyber Security Analyst will be responsible for the day‑to‑day monitoring and improvement of the organisation's security posture. The role focuses on security operations, incident response, vulnerability management, compliance activities, and security awareness, working closely with IT teams and business stakeholders to identify and reduce cyber risk.

• Proven experience in a Cyber Security Analyst, Security Operations, or equivalent cyber security role.
• Good understanding of Microsoft 365 security technologies including Entra ID, Conditional Access and MFA.
• Experience investigating security alerts, incidents and phishing activity.
• Understanding of vulnerability management, remediation processes and security monitoring.
• Familiarity with endpoint security technologies, device management platforms and email security tools
• Knowledge of security frameworks and regulatory requirements including Cyber Essentials Plus, PCI DSS and GDPR.

The Royal Ballet and Opera is one of the UK's leading arts organisations and our aim is to inspire imagination, ignite emotion and make the extraordinary for everyone. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion underpin all that we do. We want our people to be representative of the diversity in the UK. We understand the creativity and innovation that diversity can bring and strive to create an inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive.

We encourage applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and skills to join our teams. We particularly welcome applications from those who are from a global majority background and/or those who are disabled, as they are under‑represented within our organisation.

We are a Disability Confident Employer, which means that we are actively working to ensure that candidates with disabilities and long‑term health conditions feel supported, engaged and able to fulfil their potential in the workplace. We will endeavour to offer an interview to candidates who tell us they wish to participate in the scheme and who demonstrate in their application that they meet the essential criteria for the role, though sometimes due to the volume of qualified candidates with declarations this is not possible.

The RBO is also committed to safeguarding and protecting all children, young people, and adults and we implement robust safer recruitment practices. Due to our safeguarding promise, certain roles will be subject to a DBS check before commencing employment with us, which will be indicated in the advertising.

Closing date for applications: 11:59pm, 8th November 2026

To ensure a fair process, late applications will not be considered under any circumstances.

Applicants must have work authorisation for the UK. No agencies.
