Security Operations Center Analyst (L1)
We are seeking a Security Operations Center Analyst (L1) to support the continuous monitoring and protection of enterprise systems, networks, applications, and data. Working as part of a security operations team, you will monitor alerts from security information and event management (SIEM), endpoint detection and response, network security, and other monitoring tools. You will perform initial investigation and triage of suspected security events, identify potential threats, and escalate incidents in line with established procedures and service-level agreements.
Key responsibilities include reviewing and validating security alerts, analysing logs and event data, identifying indicators of compromise, and documenting findings clearly and accurately. You will create and maintain incident records, support the containment and resolution of confirmed events, and provide timely updates to relevant stakeholders. The role also involves following playbooks and standard operating procedures, assisting with vulnerability and threat intelligence activities, contributing to shift handovers, and identifying opportunities to improve monitoring rules, processes, and operational efficiency. You may be required to participate in a 24/7 shift rota, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
Applicants should have practical knowledge of core cybersecurity principles, common attack techniques, networking concepts, operating systems, authentication, and security controls such as firewalls, antivirus, email security, and endpoint protection. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, log analysis, ticketing systems, and incident response procedures is desirable. Relevant qualifications or certifications in cybersecurity, information technology, or a related discipline are beneficial, although equivalent hands-on experience will be considered. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, clear written and verbal communication, and a willingness to learn are essential. The successful candidate will be dependable, calm under pressure, comfortable working collaboratively, and committed to maintaining confidentiality and following security policies.
