Iron Maiden pursued by an employee of The Times? (8)
I believe the answer is:
pressman
'employee of the times?' is the definition.
(The Times is a newspaper)
'iron maiden pursued by an' is the wordplay.
'iron' becomes 'press' (I've seen this before**).
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'pursued by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'press'+'m'+'an'='PRESSMAN'
(Other definitions for pressman that I've seen before include "correspondent?" , "Male journalist" .)
