Senior SOC Analyst - Incident Response
We are seeking a Senior SOC Analyst – Incident Response to lead the investigation, containment, and resolution of complex cybersecurity incidents. You will act as a senior point of escalation within the Security Operations Centre, providing expert guidance during high-impact events and helping strengthen the organisation’s overall incident response capability. The role involves working closely with security engineering, infrastructure, application, risk, and compliance teams to protect critical systems, data, and services.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring and analysing alerts from SIEM, EDR, network, cloud, identity, and threat intelligence platforms; validating suspected incidents; performing detailed investigation and forensic analysis; and coordinating containment, eradication, and recovery activities. You will develop accurate incident timelines, identify root causes, assess business impact, and produce clear technical and executive-level reports. You will also support threat hunting, detection engineering, use-case tuning, vulnerability-related investigations, and the continuous improvement of playbooks, procedures, and response workflows. Participation in an on-call or out-of-hours response rota may be required.
To succeed in this position, you should have substantial experience in a SOC, CSIRT, incident response, digital forensics, or a related security operations environment, with a strong understanding of attack techniques, security controls, and incident lifecycle management. Experience with platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, or comparable technologies is highly desirable. You should be confident analysing Windows and Linux environments, network traffic, authentication activity, cloud services, malware behaviour, and indicators of compromise. Relevant certifications such as GIAC, GCIH, GCFA, CISSP, or equivalent practical experience are advantageous. Strong communication, documentation, prioritisation, and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with a methodical approach and the ability to remain calm when managing fast-moving security incidents.
