Senior Security Incident Response Analyst
We are seeking a Senior Security Incident Response Analyst to lead the investigation, containment, and resolution of complex cybersecurity incidents across a diverse technology environment. In this role, you will monitor and analyse security alerts, coordinate rapid responses to suspected breaches, and provide expert guidance throughout the incident lifecycle. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, engineering, legal, risk, and business teams to assess impact, minimise disruption, and restore secure operations.
Your responsibilities will include developing and refining incident response procedures, conducting detailed analysis of endpoint, network, identity, cloud, and application data, and performing forensic investigations to determine attack methods, scope, and root cause. You will manage incident communications, maintain accurate case documentation, produce technical and executive-level reports, and lead post-incident reviews to identify lessons learned and preventive measures. The role will also involve threat hunting, detection engineering, playbook development, and supporting vulnerability remediation and security improvement initiatives. You may contribute to tabletop exercises, resilience testing, and the mentoring of less experienced analysts.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security incident response, digital forensics, threat hunting, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common attack techniques, cybersecurity frameworks, and incident management principles. Practical knowledge of SIEM, EDR, network monitoring, identity platforms, cloud security tooling, and forensic technologies is required. You should be confident analysing logs and malicious activity, scripting or automating investigative tasks, and making sound decisions under pressure. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to explain complex technical findings to varied audiences. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, GCFA, GCIH, GCIA, or equivalent experience, are advantageous. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgement, curiosity, discretion, and a continuous improvement mindset.
