Sr SOC Analyst
We are seeking a Senior SOC Analyst to join a security operations function responsible for monitoring, investigating and responding to cyber threats across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will act as a senior point of escalation for security incidents, helping to protect critical systems, applications, networks and data. You will work closely with colleagues across infrastructure, cloud, IT operations, risk and compliance to identify threats, reduce exposure and strengthen the organisation’s overall security posture.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring security alerts and events using SIEM, EDR, network monitoring and threat intelligence technologies; triaging and investigating suspected incidents; conducting detailed analysis of logs, endpoint activity, network traffic and indicators of compromise; and coordinating containment, eradication and recovery activities. You will lead or support incident response investigations, document findings, maintain accurate case records and contribute to post-incident reviews. The role will also involve developing and refining detection rules, use cases, playbooks and operating procedures, identifying opportunities to improve SOC processes, and supporting vulnerability management, threat hunting and security reporting. You may also be required to mentor junior analysts and participate in an out-of-hours or on-call rota.
Applicants should have significant experience in a SOC, cyber defence or incident response environment, with a strong understanding of security monitoring, incident management and threat detection methodologies. Practical experience with SIEM and EDR platforms, network and endpoint investigations, malware analysis, log analysis and threat intelligence is essential. Familiarity with cloud security, identity and access management, scripting or automation, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, GCIA, GCIH, GCFA, Security+ or equivalent, are desirable. You should be analytical, calm under pressure and able to communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
