The Senior Security Operations Analyst

Reference: b17idc207td28uxaqoi3

We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Operations Analyst to help protect critical systems, applications and data within a fast-paced security environment. This role will lead the monitoring, investigation and response to security events, while supporting the continued development of effective operational controls and processes.

You will oversee alerts from security monitoring platforms, endpoint protection tools, network technologies and cloud environments, assessing their severity and coordinating appropriate responses. Your responsibilities will include investigating suspected incidents, conducting threat analysis, documenting findings and ensuring that containment, eradication and recovery activities are completed effectively. You will also contribute to incident reviews and recommend improvements to reduce the likelihood and impact of future events.

The role will involve developing and tuning detection rules, improving monitoring coverage and identifying opportunities to automate repetitive tasks. You will work closely with infrastructure, engineering, risk and compliance teams, providing clear technical guidance and supporting vulnerability management, threat hunting and security assurance activities. You may also be required to contribute to incident response exercises, security reporting and the maintenance of operational procedures and playbooks.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a security operations, incident response or threat detection role, together with a strong understanding of security principles, attack techniques and defensive technologies. Experience with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management and cloud security platforms is essential, as is the ability to analyse logs and network traffic using structured investigative methods. Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST or Cyber Kill Chain would be advantageous.

You should be confident managing competing priorities, communicating technical issues to varied audiences and making sound decisions during high-pressure incidents. Strong analytical, written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with a proactive approach to continuous improvement. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC, CompTIA Security+ or equivalent practical experience, would be welcomed.
