About us

At National Gas, the work we do matters.

As Britain's national gas network, we help keep the lights on, businesses running, and homes warm by maintaining the critical infrastructure that transports gas across Great Britain. While providing the energy security Britain relies on today, we're also helping transform the network for a clean energy future.

Join us and help secure Britain's energy.

We're looking for an experienced Threat Intelligence & Hunting Manager to lead our intelligence fusion capability, helping National Gas anticipate, assess and respond to emerging physical, geopolitical and cyber threats. This role combines strategic intelligence leadership with proactive threat hunting to strengthen the resilience and security of critical national infrastructure.

As the UK's energy landscape evolves, so do the threats facing critical national infrastructure. This role is pivotal in ensuring National Gas can identify, understand and mitigate risks before they impact our operations, people or strategic objectives.

You'll lead a team responsible for producing intelligence-driven insights, managing key government and industry partnerships, and driving advanced threat hunting activities across our IT, Cloud and OT environments. Your expertise will directly influence security strategy, executive decision-making and organisational resilience.

• Lead and develop the Threat Intelligence team, ensuring effective use of the intelligence cycle to identify and assess emerging threats.
• Build and maintain National Gas' common intelligence picture, delivering actionable intelligence products and executive briefings.
• Define and manage priority intelligence requirements, collection plans and warning indicators.
• Lead intelligence-led threat hunting activities to proactively identify sophisticated threats across enterprise environments.
• Establish and maintain relationships with key industry, government and security partners.
• Develop strategic threat assessments, horizon-scanning products and all-source intelligence reports to support business decision-making.
• Collaborate with security teams to enhance detection, monitoring and prevention capabilities across cloud, on-premise and operational technology environments.

• Strong technical understanding of Microsoft security technologies and security operations environments.
• Experience designing and leading proactive threat hunting programmes.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence senior leaders and translate complex intelligence into clear business insights.

Desirable

• Experience working with Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control System (ICS) security.
• Undergraduate degree or Master's qualification in Intelligence, Security Studies, Cyber Security or related discipline.
• SANS FOR578 (GCTI), FOR589 or equivalent threat intelligence/hunting qualifications.
