Senior Lead Security Operations Analyst
We are seeking a Senior Lead Security Operations Analyst to provide technical leadership across security monitoring, incident response, threat detection and operational resilience. You will guide a team of analysts, coordinate the effective operation of security monitoring capabilities, and help ensure that cyber threats are identified, investigated and contained promptly. Working closely with technology, risk and business stakeholders, you will provide clear advice on security events, emerging threats and appropriate remediation activities.
Your responsibilities will include leading the analysis and response to complex security incidents, reviewing alerts and investigations, and improving processes across the security operations function. You will oversee the development and tuning of detection use cases, correlation rules, dashboards and automated response workflows within SIEM, SOAR, EDR and related security platforms. You will also contribute to threat hunting, vulnerability investigations, forensic analysis and post-incident reviews, ensuring that lessons learned are translated into measurable improvements. The role will involve producing accurate management reports, maintaining operational documentation, supporting audit requirements and helping to define and track security performance metrics.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a security operations, incident response or cyber defence environment, including experience leading or mentoring analysts. Strong practical knowledge of SIEM technologies, endpoint protection, network security monitoring, threat intelligence and incident management is essential. You should be confident analysing complex technical data, identifying attack patterns and communicating risks to both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience with security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST or ISO 27001, along with relevant professional certifications, would be advantageous. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgement, excellent organisation, a collaborative leadership style and the ability to remain calm and decisive during high-priority incidents.
