SOC Specialist
We are seeking a SOC Specialist to support the monitoring, detection and response activities of a busy Security Operations Centre. In this role, you will help protect critical systems, applications and data by investigating security alerts, identifying suspicious activity and supporting the timely resolution of incidents. You will work closely with colleagues across infrastructure, networks, applications and risk to strengthen security controls and reduce organisational exposure.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring SIEM, endpoint detection, network security and vulnerability management tools; triaging and investigating alerts; analysing logs and other sources of security telemetry; and escalating confirmed or high-risk incidents in line with established procedures. You will contribute to incident response activities, including containment, evidence gathering, remediation tracking and post-incident reviews. The role will also involve maintaining accurate case records, producing operational and management reports, tuning detection rules, identifying opportunities to improve monitoring coverage, and keeping playbooks and technical documentation up to date. You may also support threat hunting, vulnerability assessments, security investigations and the review of emerging threats.
Applicants should have experience in a SOC, cyber security operations, incident response or a similar technical security environment. You will need a practical understanding of common attack techniques, security principles, networking, operating systems and log analysis, together with experience using SIEM, EDR or comparable security technologies. Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain or NIST is desirable. Relevant certifications or qualifications in cyber security are advantageous, but equivalent professional experience will be considered. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to communicate clearly, prioritise effectively and remain calm when handling multiple incidents. A proactive approach to learning, excellent attention to detail and a willingness to participate in out-of-hours or on-call arrangements, where required, are also expected.
