About this opportunity

The Chief Security Office (CSO) plays a vital role in delivering Lloyds Banking Group's vision of putting customers at the heart of everything we do, helping Britain prosper, and protecting the Group and its customers and suppliers from security threats.

We are seeking a Security Vulnerability Analyst with engineering skills to join our Security Vulnerability Services team. You will be directly influencing how the Group anticipates and responds to emerging cyber threats and vulnerabilities. You will help shape the Groups security posture by assessing security vulnerabilities in network protocols and analysing malware-related threat intelligence to establish the potential risk to the Group. The insights you provide will help safeguard critical systems, inform executive decision-making, and strengthen organisational resilience.

What You’ll Do

• Support the Security Vulnerability Managers in monitoring, analysing and triaging threat and vulnerability intelligence.

• Assess and triage vulnerabilities found during testing and scanning of Group systems as part of structured vulnerability management processes.

• Support internal customers in interpreting security vulnerability data so they can take informed and appropriate action.

• Produce analytical insights from vulnerability and threat data to inform decision making and strengthen organisational resilience.

• A good understanding of how vulnerabilities are detected, triaged, and reported as part of a structured vulnerability management process

• Experienced in industry-standard frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and NIST

• Solid grasp of network protocols, cloud environments e.g Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and operating systems (Windows and UNIX/Linux)

• Knowledgeable in security controls (e.g., Endpoint Detection and Response, Web Application Firewalls) and common attack techniques

• Effective communicator with excellent customer engagement and analytical problem-solving abilities

• Strong understanding of statistics and data analysis methods, with the ability to interpret complex datasets and extract actionable insights.

Any experience of these would be really useful

• A cybersecurity certification such as CISM, CISSP, or an equivalent qualification

• Technical experience with SCM, GitOps, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Technical knowledge across diverse technologies e.g., z/OS, storage, SQL databases, SIEMs

• Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python).

• Informed on current malware trends and the broader external threat landscape.

• Knowledge and understanding of risk assessment concepts and methodologies

• Good understanding of the operational processes, tools and best practices, within a large-scale IT environment.
