Senior Security Operations Analyst
We are seeking a Senior Security Operations Analyst to strengthen a dynamic security operations function and help protect critical systems, data, and services. In this role, you will monitor and investigate security events across cloud, network, endpoint, and application environments, identifying threats and coordinating timely responses. You will assess alerts, analyse logs and telemetry, determine root cause, and distinguish genuine incidents from false positives. The position requires sound judgement, strong analytical skills, and the ability to communicate clearly during high-pressure situations.
Key responsibilities include leading the investigation and response to security incidents, developing and refining detection rules, and improving monitoring coverage across the organisation’s technology estate. You will perform threat hunting, vulnerability and exposure analysis, and forensic reviews where required. You will also maintain accurate incident records, produce concise reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders, and contribute to post-incident reviews and remediation planning. The role involves working closely with infrastructure, engineering, identity, risk, and compliance teams to implement effective controls and reduce operational risk. You may also support security automation initiatives, playbook development, and the continuous improvement of operational procedures.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a security operations, incident response, or cyber defence environment, together with a strong understanding of security principles, attack techniques, and incident management frameworks. Practical experience with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, network monitoring, and cloud security tools is expected. Knowledge of threat intelligence, detection engineering, scripting, and recognised frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK will be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are desirable. You should be methodical, inquisitive, and comfortable working independently while mentoring colleagues and supporting a collaborative team culture. The successful candidate will demonstrate integrity, resilience, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a commitment to maintaining high standards of confidentiality and security.
