Security Operations Specialist
We are seeking a Security Operations Specialist to support the monitoring, investigation, and response activities that protect critical systems, applications, networks, and data. Working as part of a collaborative security operations function, you will review alerts from security monitoring platforms, assess potential threats, and coordinate appropriate responses in line with established procedures. You will help maintain a strong security posture by identifying suspicious activity, escalating incidents when necessary, and ensuring that investigations are accurately documented from initial detection through to resolution.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring security events and vulnerability notifications, conducting initial triage, analysing logs and indicators of compromise, and supporting incident response activities. You will assist with containment, remediation, and recovery actions, while contributing to post-incident reviews and recommendations for preventing recurrence. The role will also involve maintaining operational runbooks, improving detection and response processes, supporting security tool administration, and preparing clear reports and metrics for technical and non-technical stakeholders. You may participate in security reviews, threat-hunting activities, access investigations, audit requests, and scheduled on-call or out-of-hours support.
Applicants should have experience in a security operations, incident response, systems administration, or related technical environment, with a sound understanding of common cyber threats, attack techniques, network principles, endpoint security, identity management, and security monitoring practices. Familiarity with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, ticketing, and cloud security tools is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications or formal training in cybersecurity will be advantageous. You should be analytical, methodical, and comfortable making informed decisions in time-sensitive situations. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with the ability to work effectively with colleagues across technical teams, manage competing priorities, and handle sensitive information with discretion.
