SOC Specialist
We are seeking a SOC Specialist to join a security operations team responsible for protecting critical systems, networks and data from evolving cyber threats. This role will involve monitoring security alerts, investigating suspicious activity and supporting the timely detection, analysis and response to incidents. You will work with security technologies including SIEM, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management and network monitoring tools, using your technical judgement to distinguish genuine threats from false positives.
Key responsibilities will include triaging and analysing alerts, carrying out threat hunting and investigating indicators of compromise across endpoints, applications and infrastructure. You will support incident response activities, document findings clearly and escalate significant events in line with established procedures. The role will also involve maintaining accurate case records, contributing to incident reports, reviewing security logs and identifying opportunities to improve detection rules, playbooks and operational processes. You may be required to participate in an on-call or shift-based rota to provide continuous monitoring and response coverage.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, incident response or cyber defence environment, together with a good understanding of common attack techniques, vulnerabilities, malware behaviour and defensive controls. Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, the principles of threat intelligence and relevant security standards would be advantageous. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to communicate technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues. Relevant industry certifications or formal training in cybersecurity are desirable, but demonstrable hands-on experience and a commitment to continuous learning will also be valued.
