## Job description

## About Unity Advisory

Unity Advisory is a modern advisory business built for today's CFO. It combines deep expertise with an AI-native operating model designed to deliver better evidence, faster execution and stronger client outcomes.

Through direct access to the expertise needed to solve complex challenges and a pace of delivery that enables organisations to seize opportunities, Unity delivers advisory as it should be, through a model that is free from audit conflict.

## The Role

The Sec Ops Analyst owns hands-on security monitoring and assurance across our Microsoft, AWS and Databricks environments. Working closely with our managed SOC, you'll investigate alerts and incidents, close monitoring gaps, and keep our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 controls backed by complete, audit-ready evidence — including running customer and client security-assurance questionnaires on the business's behalf.

## Responsibilities

- Monitor, correlate and triage security alerts and activity across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, AWS, Databricks, endpoints and network services, using native tools and the central SIEM.
- Act as the primary internal contact for the managed SOC, owning incidents, escalations and follow-up through to resolution within agreed service levels.
- Close monitoring gaps by improving detection use cases, alert logic, playbooks and escalation criteria.
- Own the evidence cycle for ISO/IEC 27001:2022 controls — mapping, collecting and maintaining audit-ready evidence, and resolving gaps with control owners.
- Support internal, certification and surveillance audits, tracking findings and corrective actions to closure.
- Monitor privileged access and authentication activity, review vulnerability findings, and use Microsoft Purview to manage data protection and DLP risk.
- Complete customer and third-party security assurance questionnaires with accurate, evidence-backed responses.
- Run phishing simulations and security-awareness activity, and report on incidents, vulnerabilities and control evidence to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

## Qualifications

- Hands-on SecOps experience using SIEM, EDR/XDR and cloud/identity telemetry, ideally with a managed SOC.
- Practical Microsoft security experience (Sentinel, Defender, Entra ID, Purview) and exposure to AWS; Databricks familiarity a plus.
- Demonstrable ISO/IEC 27001:2022 experience — collecting and presenting control evidence, resolving gaps, supporting audits.
- Experience completing client security assurance questionnaires.
- Strong analytical and stakeholder-management skills, comfortable managing multiple incidents and audit requests at once.
- Desirable: Cyber Essentials Plus exposure, GRC/evidence-management platforms, and certifications such as ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, SC-200 or Security+.

Work Environment

A truly hybrid and flexible working environment, at the forefront of AI-driven advisory. You'll have real input into how security operations are run and evidenced from day one.
