Senior Security Operations Analyst

Reference: 2yc6ojc3kkc194jdx67v

We are seeking a Senior Security Operations Analyst to help protect critical systems, applications, and information from evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will monitor, investigate, and respond to security events across a complex technology environment, acting as a senior point of escalation for the security operations function. You will analyse alerts from SIEM, endpoint detection and response, identity, network, cloud, and vulnerability management platforms, distinguishing genuine threats from false positives and coordinating timely containment and remediation.

Your responsibilities will include leading investigations into suspected compromises, malware activity, phishing, unauthorised access, and data exfiltration; developing and tuning detection rules, correlation logic, and monitoring use cases; and maintaining clear, accurate incident records. You will contribute to incident response planning, threat hunting, root-cause analysis, and post-incident reviews, ensuring lessons learned are converted into measurable improvements. The role will also involve producing risk and operational reports, supporting vulnerability prioritisation, advising technical teams on security controls, and collaborating with infrastructure, engineering, compliance, and other stakeholders. You may also support security automation, playbook development, audit activity, and the mentoring of less experienced analysts.

Applicants should have substantial experience in a security operations, incident response, or cyber defence environment, together with strong knowledge of security monitoring principles, attack techniques, and incident handling methodologies. Experience with SIEM and EDR technologies, cloud security, network protocols, identity and access management, vulnerability assessment, and forensic investigation is highly desirable. You should be comfortable analysing logs and technical evidence, writing clear investigative reports, and making sound decisions under pressure. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcomed. Success in this position will require curiosity, attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively while managing competing priorities. Participation in an on-call or out-of-hours incident response rota may be required.
