Senior IT Security Analyst

Step into a pivotal role where you’ll be the architect of Loop’s entire IT security landscape. As the first dedicated Senior IT Security Analyst, you’ll drive impactful security projects, protect critical assets, and champion best practices across the company. Working hands-on with Microsoft cloud-based systems and Azure, you’ll have full autonomy to craft a secure, scalable infrastructure, all within a fast-paced environment backed by strong support from leadership. Your contributions will directly shape the safety and integrity of Loop’s growth, making this role an exciting challenge for anyone seeking ownership and innovation. Reporting directly to our Senior Manager IT, and partnering with the other IT team members, you'll collaboratively work side-by-side in supporting effective IT issue resolution while also leading the charge in securing Loop's IT landscape.

As the Senior IT Security Analyst, you'll ensure every aspect of Loop’s infrastructure is fortified against cyber threats. You’ll bring a fresh approach to security, building a robust defense strategy from scratch. Conducting vulnerability assessments will allow you to uncover weak spots, while your proactive threat monitoring will keep our systems safe in real-time. You’ll also educate and engage employees, turning your deep expertise into practical training programs that empower everyone at Loop to become a guardian of security. Through your leadership in IT security, you’ll elevate our company’s defenses, developing policies, and mitigating risks across our rapidly expanding tech landscape.

Your other responsibilities:

• Collaborate with IT specialists to address security tickets, ensuring timely and effective solutions.
• Lead incident response efforts, ensuring minimal impact and fast recovery from security breaches.
• Develop and enforce security policies, staying compliant with all legal standards.
• Drive collaboration across departments, making sure IT security is embedded in every project.
• Actively reduce the risk of shadow IT by promoting secure, company-approved technologies.
• Strengthen Loop’s endpoint and intellectual property protection.

Success in this role requires both technical expertise and the ability to engage the wider organization. You’ll need to be hands-on with security protocols while also working strategically, communicating with all levels—from end users to senior management. With strong leadership and problem-solving skills, you’ll build a robust security environment while adapting to Loop’s evolving needs.
