Senior SOC Analyst – Manchester
An experienced Senior SOC Analyst is required to join a high-performing security operations function in Manchester. This role will be responsible for protecting critical systems, applications and data by monitoring, investigating and responding to security events across a complex technology environment. You will act as a senior point of escalation for the SOC, helping to maintain effective detection and response capabilities while supporting the development of less experienced analysts.
Key responsibilities will include triaging and investigating alerts from SIEM, EDR, network monitoring and vulnerability management platforms; analysing logs and event data to identify malicious or suspicious activity; and leading the response to confirmed incidents from initial detection through containment, remediation and recovery. You will perform threat hunting, develop and refine detection rules, contribute to incident reports and root-cause analysis, and ensure cases are documented accurately in line with established processes. The role will also involve supporting security monitoring improvements, reviewing use cases, assisting with vulnerability prioritisation and providing clear technical guidance to internal stakeholders. Participation in an on-call or shift-based rota may be required.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a SOC, incident response or cyber defence environment, with a strong understanding of security operations principles, attack techniques and incident-handling frameworks. Practical experience with SIEM and endpoint detection technologies is essential, alongside the ability to investigate network, system and identity-related events. Knowledge of threat intelligence, MITRE ATT&CK, malware analysis, scripting or automation would be highly advantageous. Relevant professional certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GCIH, GCIA or CISSP are desirable. You will be an analytical and collaborative professional who can communicate complex findings clearly, remain calm under pressure and make sound decisions when managing high-impact security incidents.
