Location: Glasgow (hybrid, 2-3 days in the office)

Help us create a better future, quicker

Are you passionate about staying one step ahead of cyber threats? We're looking for an experienced Active Defence Lead to play a pivotal role in protecting and strengthening our IT and OT environments through intelligence-led cyber defence.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a hands-on technical role for a cyber security specialist who can turn cyber threat intelligence into meaningful action. You'll use threat insights, vulnerability analysis, detection engineering, and threat-led testing to improve our ability to identify, understand, and respond to emerging risks.

As the technical lead for Active Defence, you'll work across Cyber Operations, MSSP SOC teams, OT Engineering, Architecture, and Corporate Security. Your focus will be on improving visibility across the environment, enhancing detection coverage, and ensuring our defences are aligned to real-world adversary behaviours. You'll help transform intelligence into actionable detections, strengthen monitoring capabilities, and drive improvements across the detection and response lifecycle.

A key part of the role is validating how well our security controls perform against modern threats. Through adversary emulation, purple team exercises, and continuous testing, you'll identify weaknesses, uncover detection gaps, and provide clear recommendations to improve resilience. You'll also support incident response activities, using threat intelligence and attack insights to strengthen investigations, response processes, and future readiness.

What You’ll Bring

We're looking for someone with strong experience in cyber threat intelligence, detection engineering, cyber defence, vulnerability management, incident response, or threat-led testing. You'll have a deep understanding of attacker tactics and techniques, experience working with SIEM and SOAR technologies, and a strong knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework across both Enterprise and ICS environments. Exposure to OT/ICS security and standards such as IEC 62443 would be highly beneficial.

This is an opportunity to make a real impact in a complex and evolving environment. You'll influence defensive strategy, improve cyber resilience across critical infrastructure, and ensure our vulnerability, detection, and response capabilities continue to evolve alongside the threat landscape. If you thrive on solving challenging security problems and want to help shape a modern, intelligence-led defence capability, we'd love to hear from you.

This role supports a 24/7 cyber defence capability and may require occasional out-of-hours participation during major incidents, critical threat activity, or planned testing exercises. Some travel to operational sites may also be required.

Candidates must speak english to a native level/proficiently.

What’s in it for you

As well as a competitive salary which is reviewed annually, you can also enjoy a number of other benefits. With our pension scheme, we’ll double match your contribution up to a company contribution of 10%.

At ScottishPower, we believe it’s the little things we do in life that make a big difference. From helping you look after your family’s wellbeing, save for your future and take personal steps for climate action – our benefits are designed to help you do just that - so that you have everything you need to take care of your world – today and tomorrow.
