Job description

Job Title: Senior Cybersecurity Analyst
Location: Birmingham, AL

Ready to be the digital bodyguard of a fast-moving financial organization?

We're on the hunt for a Senior Cybersecurity Analyst who eats threats for breakfast and sleeps soundly knowing our systems are locked down tighter than Fort Knox. If you live for red alerts, thrive in the middle of incident response chaos, and can quote GLBA like it's your favorite movie, keep reading.

You’ll be our frontline of defense, leading investigations, outsmarting hackers, and keeping customer data safe and secure. Oh, and did we mention you’ll be the go‑to brain for junior analysts and a security Jedi across the organization?

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Watchdog Mode: Monitor and analyze alerts from SIEM, EDR, and intel feeds to identify threats before they make headlines.

• Incident Commander: Take the lead when things go sideways, coordinate response, trace the threat, and lock it down.
• Vulnerability Sleuth: Sniff out weaknesses and help teams patch them before the bad guys can get in.
• Regulation Rock Star: Stay in the know on compliance standards like GLBA, PCI, SOX, and FFIEC and help us stay ahead of the curve.
• Risk Whisperer: Work with audit, compliance, and risk teams to identify gaps and close them with smart, scalable solutions.
• Third‑Party Sheriff: Help assess vendors and partners to make sure their security posture doesn’t put us at risk.
• Drill Sergeant: Run pen tests, tabletop exercises, and what‑if scenarios so we’re always battle‑ready.
• Documentation Guru: Keep incident playbooks sharp, audits smooth, and risk assessments tight.
• Mentor‑in‑Chief: Share your know‑how, guide junior team members, and raise the bar across Security Ops.

What You Bring:

• A degree in Cybersecurity, InfoSec, CS, or street‑smart equivalent experience.
• 5+ years in the cybersecurity trenches, ideally within fintech, banking, or financial services.
• Mastery of regulatory frameworks (GLBA, PCI, SOX, FFIEC you know the drill).
• Command over SIEMs, EDR, firewalls, and vulnerability management tools.
• Solid grasp of Windows, Linux, cloud ecosystems, and secure network architecture.
• Bonus points for automation/scripting chops (Python, PowerShell, etc.).
• Experience working in a SOC or incident response team.

Soft Skills That Set You Apart:

• A sharp mind and a calm hand in high‑pressure situations.
• Confidence talking tech with engineers and clarity explaining risk non‑tech execs.
• Integrity and confidentiality are second nature.
• Love for fast‑paced environments where the stakes are high and the mission matters.

This isn’t just a job. It’s a mission.

If you’re ready to lock shields, lead the charge, and make a real impact, let’s talk.
