Let’s get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:
Building a threat intelligence capability from scratch is genuinely rare: most security roles inherit someone else’s tooling, someone else’s playbooks, someone else’s definition of what “good” looks like. This one doesn’t. As Mews’ first Cyber Threat Intelligence Specialist, you will design and operationalise the CTI function within our Security Operations team, setting the intelligence requirements, the collection and analysis approach, and the feedback loops that will shape how the whole team detects and responds to threats. The hospitality industry is a specific and underserved target for credential phishing, account takeover, and ransomware, and Mews processes data for thousands of properties globally. There is real risk here, and real opportunity to reduce it.
You will join a Security Operations team that operates as a product security function, not a traditional IT security shop. Your work feeds directly into detection engineering, threat hunting, and incident response, and as the program matures you will help shape how intelligence can be surfaced to Mews customers as a trust capability. You will work closely with Security Engineering, Platform Engineering, Legal, and Product teams, and you will report to Roger Ribas, the Director of Security Operations.
