Job description

Overview

AeroCloud creates modular and scalable intelligent airport management software built on leading-edge technology. Our cloud-native platform uses predictive artificial intelligence and machine learning. Together with our common-use passenger processing and self-service solutions, we deliver an innovative answer to the complex operational challenges experienced by airports across the globe.

AeroCloud’s Intelligent Airport Management System (iAMS) and Flight Management System reduce manual inputs and centralise data, making it available to all members of airport stakeholder groups. Inspection, Lease and Asset Management systems support on-site logistical planning. In addition, Common-Use Passenger Processing and Self-Service solutions and our Mobile Bag Drop app help airports efficiently manage daily passenger numbers.

Our platform is 100% cloud-native, and users can access it anywhere, anytime, and on any device. We configure all modules within the Cloud and deliver remote updates quickly and easily; users can access AeroCloud’s software via a web interface, removing the need to access a local network. Airports can depend on our cloud-hosted platform’s security, fast processing speeds and scalability.

About You

We are seeking a Cybersecurity Analyst / IT Security Specialist with a strong foundation in security operations and compliance frameworks. You have experience working with SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, or similar standards and understand both their technical and operational implications. You are comfortable working across Microsoft 365, Intune MDM, Microsoft Defender, and SIEM platforms such as Sentinel, with the ability to support and secure both Mac and Windows environments.

You thrive in a hands-on security role where you can directly influence the protection of systems, data, and users. While this position does not include direct reports, it requires a high degree of ownership, accountability, and collaboration with stakeholders across IT and the wider business. The role is based in our Stockport office with a hybrid working model.

Summary Of Role

As a Cybersecurity Analyst, you will be responsible for securing our IT environment and products by managing vulnerabilities, building detections, and responding to threats. You will monitor systems, remediate risks, and lead incident response to ensure swift containment and recovery. This role covers the full scope of IT security operations, helping us maintain resilience and compliance against evolving threats.

Job Requirements

What are we looking for?

• Proven experience in a cybersecurity or IT security role, ideally covering both cloud and on-premise environments.

• Ability to monitor, write, and tune detections, and respond effectively to security incidents.
• Experience managing Microsoft 365 security controls and applying best practices to protect collaboration and productivity platforms.
• Familiarity with security frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST) and ability to implement relevant security policies and procedures.
• Strong incident response experience, including containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident reviews.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills — able to translate technical risk into clear business impact.
• A proactive, self-driven mindset with a passion for strengthening security across people, processes, and technology.
