Security Operations Center Analyst
We are seeking a Security Operations Centre Analyst to join a collaborative cyber security team responsible for monitoring, investigating and responding to threats across a complex technology environment. This role will suit an analytical and proactive professional who is keen to develop their expertise while helping to protect critical systems, data and services.
You will monitor security alerts and events using SIEM, endpoint detection and response, network monitoring and vulnerability management tools. Your responsibilities will include triaging incidents, investigating suspicious activity, identifying indicators of compromise and escalating confirmed or high-risk events in line with documented procedures. You will also support incident containment, remediation and recovery, ensuring that actions and findings are accurately recorded.
The role will involve analysing logs from cloud, network, identity and application platforms, contributing to threat-hunting activities and helping to improve detection rules and monitoring coverage. You will prepare clear incident reports, maintain accurate case records and contribute to post-incident reviews. You may also assist with vulnerability assessments, security testing, audit evidence and the development of operational playbooks and knowledge articles.
Applicants should have experience in a security operations, incident response, IT support or related technical environment, together with a sound understanding of cyber security principles, common attack techniques and the incident lifecycle. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, endpoint security tools, ticketing systems and threat intelligence sources is desirable. Relevant qualifications such as CompTIA Security+, CySA+, SC-200, GIAC or equivalent experience would be advantageous.
Strong communication, attention to detail and structured problem-solving skills are essential. You should be comfortable working calmly under pressure, prioritising competing alerts and collaborating with technical and non-technical colleagues. The position may include shift work, on-call responsibilities or out-of-hours monitoring, depending on operational requirements. In return, you will have opportunities for professional development, hands-on exposure to modern security technologies and the chance to make a meaningful contribution to organisational resilience.
