Security Operations Analyst- 6 month FTC
We are seeking a Security Operations Analyst for a six-month fixed-term contract to support the monitoring, investigation and response to cybersecurity events across a dynamic technology environment. This role will suit an analytical and proactive security professional who can assess potential threats, coordinate effective responses and help strengthen the organisation’s overall security posture. You will work closely with internal technology teams and relevant stakeholders to identify risks, contain incidents and ensure issues are documented and resolved appropriately.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring security alerts and events using SIEM, endpoint detection and response, network monitoring and vulnerability management tools; triaging and investigating suspected security incidents; analysing logs, indicators of compromise and threat intelligence; and escalating incidents in line with established procedures. You will support incident response activities, contribute to root-cause analysis and produce clear, accurate reports for technical and non-technical audiences. The role will also involve maintaining security documentation, updating incident records, assisting with vulnerability remediation and recommending improvements to monitoring rules, processes and controls.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, incident response or SOC environment, together with a sound understanding of common cyber threats, attack techniques and defensive controls. Experience with SIEM platforms, endpoint security solutions, network security monitoring and ticketing or case-management systems is highly desirable. Familiarity with security frameworks, incident management methodologies and basic scripting or automation would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication and organisational skills are essential, as is the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment and work collaboratively while handling sensitive information. Relevant industry certifications or equivalent hands-on experience are welcomed.
