Security Operations Analyst
We are seeking a Security Operations Analyst to support the monitoring, investigation and response activities of a busy security operations function. The successful candidate will help protect systems, applications, networks and data by identifying suspicious activity, assessing potential threats and coordinating appropriate responses. This role will work closely with infrastructure, application, risk and compliance teams to improve the organisation’s overall security posture.
Key responsibilities include monitoring security alerts and events using security information and event management (SIEM) and endpoint detection and response tools; triaging and investigating suspected incidents; collecting and analysing relevant logs and other evidence; escalating confirmed or high-risk events; and maintaining accurate incident records. You will contribute to incident response investigations, vulnerability management, threat hunting and security reporting, while helping to develop detection rules, playbooks and operational procedures. The role will also involve reviewing security controls, supporting audit and compliance activities, identifying recurring issues and recommending practical improvements to reduce risk. Participation in an out-of-hours or on-call rota may be required.
Applicants should have experience in a security operations, cyber defence, incident response or related technical role, with a good understanding of networking, operating systems, identity and access management, cloud environments and common attack techniques. Familiarity with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability scanning, ticketing and case management platforms is desirable. Relevant professional certifications or formal training in cybersecurity will be advantageous. You should be analytical, methodical and comfortable working under pressure, with the ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive approach, strong attention to detail, sound judgement and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.
