Security Operations Specialist
We are seeking a Security Operations Specialist to support the monitoring, investigation and improvement of security across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will help protect systems, applications, networks and data by identifying suspicious activity, responding to incidents and ensuring that security events are handled efficiently and consistently. You will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, application and risk teams to strengthen defensive capabilities and reduce operational risk.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring security alerts from SIEM, endpoint detection, network monitoring and other security tools; triaging and investigating potential incidents; coordinating containment, eradication and recovery activities; and maintaining accurate incident records. You will analyse logs and security telemetry, identify indicators of compromise, support threat-hunting activities and contribute to vulnerability management and remediation tracking. The role will also involve developing and improving detection rules, playbooks, procedures and operational reporting, as well as supporting security audits, access reviews and compliance requirements. You may participate in an on-call or out-of-hours rota when required.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, incident response, network security or similar role, with a good understanding of common attack methods, security controls and incident-management principles. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, endpoint protection, identity and access management, firewalls, cloud security and vulnerability-scanning tools is highly desirable. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to communicate technical issues clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GCIH, GCIA or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You should be organised, curious and proactive, able to manage competing priorities while maintaining sound judgement and attention to detail.
