SOC Analyst - Founding UK Cyber team!

SOC Analyst - 1st UK Hire!

Want to be part of the founding UK team for a $300m Global Cyber group?

If you're a driven SOC Analyst who wants more than just "another ops role" and want autonomy to shape a new function with global backing, this could be the role for you!

You'd join a reputable business with a 20-year track record in the US who have launched in the UK. With £30m UK revenue already and plans for cyber growth across Europe, this is a rare opportunity to join early & help shape a new security capability.

• You'll be positioned for fast progression as the UK cyber practice scales, with forward growth for your role already scoped

The Role

• You'll support US SOC across UK/EU timezones and UK/EU customers with autonomy to shape local processes, tools & culture.
• Monitor, investigate and respond to security alerts (Tier 2-level responsibility).
• Contribute to developing the UK operational playbooks and standards.
• Act as the UK cyber presence, interfacing with existing engineering teams.
• Work core UK hours with some flexibility for occasional out-of-hours cover (not a shift-based role).

What You'll Bring

• 3-5 years' experience in a SOC environment (Tier 2-level maturity preferred).
• Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms (Sentinel / Splunk / QRadar or similar).
• Strong understanding of incident response and threat investigation.
• Comfortable working autonomously in a developing function
• Relevant certifications (Security+, CEH, GCIA, CISSP or similar).
