Security Specialist (SOC & IR)
We are seeking a Security Specialist (SOC & IR) to help protect critical systems, applications and data against evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will monitor and investigate security events, coordinate incident response activities and support the continuous improvement of detection and response capabilities. You will work closely with infrastructure, application, identity and risk teams to identify vulnerabilities, reduce exposure and strengthen the organisation’s overall security posture.
Your responsibilities will include triaging alerts from SIEM, EDR, email security, cloud and network monitoring platforms; investigating suspicious activity; performing threat hunting; and escalating confirmed incidents in line with established procedures. You will assist with containment, eradication and recovery activities, maintain accurate incident records, and contribute to post-incident reviews and lessons learned. You will also develop and refine detection rules, playbooks and response procedures, support vulnerability and threat intelligence activities, and prepare clear technical reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Participation in an on-call or out-of-hours incident response rota may be required.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in a security operations centre, incident response or a similar cybersecurity environment, with a sound understanding of network, endpoint, identity and cloud security concepts. Experience with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management and security orchestration tools is desirable, as is the ability to analyse logs, investigate indicators of compromise and use scripting or automation to improve operational efficiency. Relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GCIH, GCIA or equivalent experience are advantageous. You should be analytical, methodical and calm under pressure, with strong written and verbal communication skills and a commitment to continuous learning, confidentiality and professional security practice.
