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. In this role, you will act as a senior escalation point within the security operations function, coordinating response activities across technical teams and providing clear, timely updates to relevant stakeholders. You will analyse alerts and events from SIEM, EDR, network security and cloud platforms, identify indicators of compromise, determine root cause and assess the scope and impact of incidents.
Your responsibilities will include developing and executing incident response procedures, conducting forensic investigations, performing threat hunting and supporting malware and endpoint analysis. You will help improve detection and response capabilities by tuning security rules, creating use cases, refining playbooks and documenting lessons learned. The role will also involve coordinating containment, eradication and recovery actions, maintaining accurate incident records, and contributing to post-incident reviews. You may support security exercises, vulnerability investigations, threat intelligence assessments and the development of operational metrics and reports. As a senior team member, you will mentor junior analysts and promote consistent, high-quality working practices.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a security operations or incident response environment, with a strong understanding of attack techniques, threat modelling and the incident lifecycle. Practical expertise with SIEM, EDR, network monitoring, identity platforms and cloud security technologies is required, along with the ability to investigate suspicious activity using logs, telemetry and forensic evidence. Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST or ISO 27001 is desirable. Relevant certifications, such as GIAC, CISSP, CREST or equivalent, are advantageous. You should be an analytical and confident communicator who can remain calm during high-pressure incidents, explain technical findings to varied audiences and work collaboratively across teams. Participation in an out-of-hours on-call or incident escalation rota may be required.
