Security Operations Centre Specialist
We are seeking a Security Operations Centre Specialist to support the monitoring, detection and response activities of a busy security operations function. In this role, you will monitor security alerts and events across a range of technologies, investigate suspicious activity, and help protect systems, networks and data from cyber threats. You will assess and prioritise incidents, perform initial triage, gather relevant evidence and escalate issues in line with established procedures and service levels.
Key responsibilities include analysing logs and alerts from security information and event management platforms, endpoint protection tools, firewalls, intrusion detection systems and other monitoring solutions. You will investigate potential breaches, malware infections, unauthorised access and unusual user or network behaviour. The role will involve documenting incidents accurately, maintaining clear case records, supporting containment and remediation activities, and contributing to post-incident reviews. You will also help refine monitoring rules, playbooks and operational procedures, identify recurring issues and provide information for security reporting and performance metrics. Effective communication with technical teams and stakeholders will be essential when coordinating responses and explaining security findings.
Applicants should have experience in a security operations, incident response, network monitoring or similar technical role, together with a sound understanding of cybersecurity principles, common attack methods and defensive controls. Familiarity with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, ticketing and threat intelligence tools is expected. Knowledge of security frameworks, incident management processes and relevant legislation or industry standards would be beneficial. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail and the ability to remain calm when handling high-priority incidents are essential. You should be comfortable working collaboratively, following documented procedures and participating in shift patterns or on-call arrangements where required. Relevant professional certifications or practical laboratory experience would be advantageous.
