Security Operations Analyst
We are seeking a capable Security Operations Analyst to support the monitoring, investigation and improvement of an organisation’s cyber security operations. You will work as part of a collaborative security team, helping to identify threats, respond to incidents and maintain a strong defensive posture across a complex technology environment.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring security alerts and events through SIEM and other security tools, triaging potential incidents, conducting initial investigations and escalating issues where appropriate. You will analyse logs, endpoint activity, network traffic and threat intelligence to identify suspicious behaviour, document findings clearly and support timely remediation. You will also contribute to incident response activities, vulnerability management, security reporting and the continual improvement of operational processes.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in a security operations, incident response, network security or related role. You should be comfortable working with SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, vulnerability scanners and ticketing systems. A sound understanding of common attack techniques, security principles, operating systems, networking and incident management is essential. Experience with cloud security, identity and access management, threat intelligence or security automation would be advantageous.
You will be analytical, methodical and confident when assessing risk and making decisions under pressure. Strong written and verbal communication skills are required, together with the ability to explain technical issues to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant qualifications such as CompTIA Security+, CySA+, GIAC, Microsoft security certifications or equivalent professional experience are welcome.
This role offers the opportunity to develop your expertise within a varied and fast-moving environment. You will be encouraged to stay informed about emerging threats, contribute ideas for improving detection and response capabilities, and work constructively with colleagues across technology and wider business teams. The role may include participation in an on-call or shift-based rota, depending on operational requirements.
