Security Operations Center Analyst
We are seeking a Security Operations Center Analyst to monitor, investigate and respond to security events across a complex technology environment. The successful candidate will help protect systems, applications, networks and data by identifying suspicious activity, assessing potential threats and coordinating appropriate responses. This role will work as part of a collaborative security function and will contribute to maintaining effective, timely and well-documented incident management processes.
Key responsibilities include monitoring security information and event management (SIEM) platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, network monitoring systems and other security technologies. You will triage alerts, investigate incidents, analyse logs and indicators of compromise, and escalate confirmed or high-risk events in line with established procedures. The role will involve supporting containment, eradication and recovery activities, maintaining accurate case records, preparing incident reports and contributing to post-incident reviews. You will also assist with threat hunting, vulnerability investigations, detection-rule tuning and the continuous improvement of security monitoring capabilities. Participation in an out-of-hours or shift-based rota may be required.
Applicants should have experience in a security operations, incident response, network security or related role, together with a sound understanding of common attack methods, cyber security principles and incident lifecycle management. Practical experience with SIEM, EDR, ticketing and vulnerability management tools is desirable, as is familiarity with security frameworks, threat intelligence and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant qualifications or certifications in cyber security are advantageous. You should be curious, methodical and comfortable working under pressure while managing multiple priorities and handling sensitive information responsibly.
