Lead Analyst, Design Assurance & Product Management - Network & Zero Trust

Overview

Lead Analyst in Design Assurance and Product Management, performing independent pre-production and business-as-usual reviews of Network and Zero Trust, Platform Security, and MDR and Detection Engineering tooling against the applicable architecture standards.

What you'll do

• Perform pre-production reviews for network security and Zero Trust tooling, validating against ZT enforcement point, segmentation, SD-WAN, SASE and secure remote access standards.
• Review SIEM, SOAR and EDR/XDR platform configurations against platform security architecture standards.
• Review detection engineering outputs against the MDR architecture standards, including rule frameworks and coverage mapping.
• Run pre-production and business-as-usual reviews across Network and Zero Trust, Platform Security, and MDR and Detection Engineering, escalating cross-domain and precedent-setting designs to senior review.
• Record each finding against the specific clause of the standard it breaches, and track it to evidenced closure.
• Validate that the MDR provider's delivered detection content matches the agreed MITRE ATT&CK coverage commitment, and that the SIEM data sources those detections depend on are actually ingesting.
• Validate Zero Trust enforcement points, segmentation policy and SASE and SD-WAN configurations against the Network and Zero Trust architecture standards.
• Flag recurring findings as candidate standards gaps for escalation to the owning architecture domain.
• Apply the published methodology and scoring criteria consistently, and raise ambiguity in them through the practice.
• Build working depth in the domains you did not arrive with.
• Use approved AI tools in your day-to-day work, validating outputs and following GSK's Responsible AI, privacy and security requirements.

What you'll need

• 10+ years in cyber security, with domain focus on Design Assurance for Network and Zero Trust, Platform Security and MDR and Detection Engineering.
• Pre-production design assurance reviews of network security and Zero Trust tooling.
• Reviewing SIEM, SOAR and EDR/XDR platform configurations, detection rule implementations and MDR vendor integration against platform standards.
• Preparing review packs, documenting findings and tracking remediation with automated templates, working accurately to process and escalating Critical/High findings.
• Reviewing AI-enabled detection and SOC tooling (ML detections, GenAI copilots and agentic SOAR playbooks) against platform and AI security standards.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

Nice to have

• Zero Trust enforcement points, segmentation, SD-WAN/SASE and secure remote access.
• MITRE ATT&CK coverage and detection-as-code.
• Platform hardening and SIEM data source ingestion, and scripting for review automation.
• GxP-compliant documentation practice.
• Security certification such as GIAC (GCIA, GCDA) or CompTIA Security+.
