This is a great job for someone who enjoys turning complex cyber threat intelligence into clear, actionable security outcomes. Are you someone who thrives on connecting strategic insight with real-world detection and response?

Do you love to lead teams, influence decision-making, and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats while making a measurable impact?

This role could suit an experienced threat intelligence or cyber security professional who is ready to lead or already leading a function, and is passionate about applying intelligence across strategic, operational, and tactical levels.

It would particularly appeal to someone with a background in Threat Intelligence, SOC, Detection & Response, or Incident Response who wants to shape how intelligence drives security decisions.

A bit about the job:

As an Applied Threat Intelligence Manager, you’ll lead a capability that ensures threat intelligence is actively used to drive security outcomes across Aviva.

You’ll oversee the full intelligence lifecycle, delivering insights that inform strategy, improve detection and response, and reduce risk.

Working closely with Detection & Response, Incident Response, and wider engineering teams, you’ll embed intelligence into day-to-day operations and long-term planning.

You’ll also lead and develop a team of analysts, ensuring high-quality, impactful intelligence outputs that support decision-making at all levels.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Strong experience in cyber threat intelligence, SOC, Detection & Response, or Incident Response

• Proven ability to lead a team or intelligence function and deliver impactful outcomes

• Excellent understanding of adversary behaviours, intrusion techniques, and the intelligence lifecycle (e.g. MITRE ATT&CK)

• Experience translating intelligence into actionable outputs such as detections, threat hunting, or response improvements

• Clear and confident communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical teams and senior stakeholders
