Security Operations Centre Analyst
We are seeking a Security Operations Centre Analyst to support the monitoring, detection and response activities of a busy cyber security function. In this role, you will monitor security alerts and events across enterprise networks, systems, applications and cloud environments, using security information and event management (SIEM), endpoint detection and response (EDR) and other security tools. You will assess alerts, identify potential threats, investigate suspicious activity and take appropriate action in line with documented procedures and escalation routes.
Your responsibilities will include triaging and documenting incidents, analysing logs and indicators of compromise, supporting containment and remediation activities, and escalating complex or high-risk events to senior analysts and incident response specialists. You will contribute to incident reports, maintain accurate case records and help identify recurring issues or opportunities to improve detection rules and operational processes. The role will also involve vulnerability and threat intelligence monitoring, assisting with security investigations, participating in shift handovers and supporting continuous improvement of SOC playbooks, procedures and knowledge articles.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in a security operations, incident response, network monitoring or technical support environment, together with a good understanding of cyber security principles, common attack techniques and security controls. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, EDR tools, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, authentication technologies and cloud security services is desirable. You should be analytical, methodical and able to prioritise effectively when managing multiple alerts. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to explain technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant industry certifications or formal qualifications in cyber security, information technology or a related discipline would be advantageous. The role may require participation in a rota covering evenings, nights, weekends or public holidays.
