IT Security Analyst

OUC - The Reliable One, is presently seeking an IT Security Analyst to join the Technology division. At OUC, we don’t just work – we’re building a bright future of innovation and transformation for future generations.

We are seeking a detail‑oriented, technically curious analyst to help monitor, analyze, and respond to security events across OUC’s technology environment as we continue building our Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) / Security Operations Center (SOC). In this role, you will support day‑to‑day security operations—including SIEM monitoring, vulnerability review, malware investigation, incident response assistance, and access‑related troubleshooting—while contributing to ongoing improvements in OUC’s security posture. This position follows a 3/2 hybrid 40‑hour schedule, requiring on‑site work every Tuesday and Thursday, plus one additional on‑site day each week as needed to support project work and operational demands.

You will succeed in this role by being a creative problem‑solver who can clearly explain security concepts to non‑technical audiences, along with a collaborative, socially adept communicator who works well with IT teams, business units, and leadership. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands‑on security work, continuous learning, and contributing to a growing security operations function in a fast‑evolving environment.

As part of OUC’s incident response team, the Analyst must maintain availability for urgent security events and will participate in an after‑hours on‑call rotation. You will collaborate closely with IT, business units, Legal, and Purchasing to ensure secure operations, compliance, and risk mitigation as OUC builds its DCO and SOC capabilities.
