Application Security Analyst - SQL

Application Security Analyst – SQL

Rate- £500 – £550 Inside IR35 total to umbrella

Location- Bristol twice a week on site

Duration- 6 months

The Role:

We’re working with a global organisation that is seeking an Application Security Consultant to support a long-standing, business-critical payments product within their Global portfolio.

The focus of this role is a legacy IHCM application. The application is built on a Microsoft technology stack, including SQL Server and holds sensitive employee base data, making internal access control and data security a key priority.

This is a non-hands on development role, ideal for someone with strong technical understanding who can bridge the gap between product, security and the wider business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work closely with Product Leads and stakeholders to understand current application capabilities and limitations
• Review and assess internal application security, with a strong focus on user access and data access management
• Advise on improvements to user profiles, access rights and permission models
• Help define and design grouped access, restricted profiles and role-based access across different customer and user categories
• Provide clear, practical security recommendations that balance usability, compliance and risk
• Support the business in evolving legacy security processes without disrupting core product functionality

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience as an Application Security Consultant, Product Security Specialist or similar
• Strong understanding of application-level security, particularly user access management rather than external cyber threats
• Experience working with legacy systems and complex, long-established products
• Solid technical knowledge of Microsoft-based applications (e.g. SQL Server, enterprise apps)
• Comfortable influencing without coding – able to translate technical concepts into business-focused recommendations
• Background in financial services, payments or regulated environments is highly desirable

Reasonable Adjustments:

Respect and equality are core values to us. We are proud of the diverse and inclusive community we have built, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and perspectives. Our success is driven by our people, united by the spirit of partnership to deliver the best resourcing solutions for our clients.
