Senior SOC Analyst – Leeds
We are seeking a Senior SOC Analyst to join a security operations team based in Leeds. In this role, you will provide expert monitoring, investigation and response across a range of security events, helping to protect critical systems, data and services. You will act as an escalation point for complex incidents, analyse alerts from SIEM, EDR, network monitoring and threat intelligence platforms, and determine the appropriate response based on risk, impact and business context.
Your responsibilities will include leading the investigation and containment of suspected compromises, malware activity, phishing attempts, unauthorised access and other cyber threats. You will conduct detailed log and packet analysis, support incident response and forensic activities, and produce clear, accurate incident reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will also contribute to threat hunting, detection engineering, use-case development and the continuous improvement of monitoring processes and playbooks. The role will involve mentoring junior analysts, reviewing investigation quality, supporting shift handovers and working closely with infrastructure, cloud, application and risk teams to strengthen security controls.
To be successful, you should have significant experience within a SOC, CSIRT or security monitoring environment, together with a strong understanding of incident response methodologies, security operations and common attack techniques. Experience with SIEM and EDR technologies, alert triage, threat intelligence, vulnerability concepts and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK is expected. Relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GCIH, GCIA or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You should be analytical, calm under pressure and confident communicating findings to varied audiences. A proactive approach to problem-solving, strong written documentation skills and a willingness to stay current with emerging threats are essential. This position may involve participation in an on-call or shift rota, including occasional out-of-hours support.
