About The Position

Dream's Cybersecurity Team is currently looking for an Analyst, Cyber Security to support our Technology Team. This position encompasses all major aspects of cybersecurity and technology infrastructure and will require you to think on your feet. You’ll get exposure to emerging technologies — including practical, day-to-day use of AI — along with the opportunity to take ownership of systems, processes, and initiatives that directly shape how we protect the business. It’s a role built to give you both breadth and depth of cybersecurity experience, and the room to make it your own. Occasional after-hours availability may be required to facilitate changes or respond to a cyber-incident.

Experience (or strong interest) in automating security and operational processes, whether through scripting, low-code tools, or platform-native automation;
Exposure to data security concepts and tooling — classification, DLP, encryption, and access governance;
Familiarity with standard and next-generation EDR / antivirus products;
Understanding of Next-Generation Firewall technologies (NGFW);
Exposure to Microsoft Cloud technologies (Azure, O365);
Experience with Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Visio);
