We’re looking for a Threat Intelligence and Analytics Manager to join our wider Digital technology & data team in Manchester. In this role, you’ll manage our threat intelligence and analytics capabilities, helping us to enhance risk detection, prioritisation, and mitigation. You’ll focus on managing our threat intelligence platform (TIP), analytics processes, and collaboration efforts to drive proactive cyber defence strategies across Co-op.

Why this role matters

We’re in an exciting period of growth at Co-op. As the digital landscape evolves, it’s vital that we stay ahead of cyber threats. This role plays a big part in protecting our business by enhancing our capability to detect, prioritise, and respond to cyber risks. This is where you come in. You’ll help us build a more resilient organisation through smarter threat intelligence and analytics.

What you’ll do

• Own and manage the threat intelligence platform (TIP)

• Build dashboards and reports to share insights with our security colleagues and senior leaders
• Develop analytics-driven detection rules and anomaly models in SIEM/XDR platforms
• Keep documentation up to date for TIP workflows, integrations, and automation
• Work closely with SOC, vulnerability management, and incident response teams to make sure intelligence is actionable
• Provide regular updates and briefings on the threat landscape, platform, and analytics trends

What you’ll bring

• Deep knowledge of cyber threat intelligence and security technologies
• Hands-on experience managing TIPs (e.g., ThreatConnect, Anomali, MISP)
• Familiarity with SIEM (Splunk, ELK), SOAR platforms, and vulnerability management tools (Qualys, Tenable)
• Experience with automation and scripting (Python, REST APIs)
• A strong understanding of frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, the cyber kill chain, and threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)
