Senior SOC Analyst
We are seeking a Senior SOC Analyst to join a security operations function responsible for protecting critical systems, applications, and data. In this role, you will provide advanced monitoring, investigation, and response capabilities across a broad range of security events. You will analyse alerts from SIEM, EDR, network, cloud, and other security platforms, distinguish genuine threats from false positives, and lead the investigation of complex or high-impact incidents. You will also support continuous improvement of detection coverage, incident response procedures, and operational processes.
Key responsibilities include conducting threat hunting and forensic analysis, correlating events across multiple data sources, assessing indicators of compromise, and coordinating containment, eradication, and recovery activities. You will produce clear and timely incident reports, maintain accurate case documentation, and communicate findings and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role will involve mentoring less experienced analysts, contributing to shift handovers and knowledge sharing, and helping develop playbooks, use cases, dashboards, and automation to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the SOC. You may also support vulnerability investigations, security investigations, and post-incident reviews.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a SOC, incident response, cyber defence, or security engineering environment, with strong knowledge of security monitoring principles, attack techniques, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Practical experience with SIEM and EDR technologies, log analysis, network traffic investigation, and scripting or automation is highly desirable. You should be confident working under pressure, able to prioritise competing incidents, and capable of explaining technical risks clearly. Relevant professional certifications, such as a recognised security operations, incident response, or offensive security qualification, are advantageous. A proactive mindset, strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.
