SOC Analyst (2nd Line)

I'm partnering with a fast-growing Cyber Defence function that's strengthening its Security Operations Centre and looking for a talented Senior Security Analyst to join the team.

You'll take a leading role in detecting, analysing, and responding to cyber threats across diverse client environments, mentoring junior analysts, improving detection content, and helping drive SOC maturity.

What you'll do:

• Lead complex investigations and incident response.
• Develop SIEM/EDR use cases and correlation rules.
• Perform proactive threat hunting and support automation initiatives.
• Produce incident reports and guide remediation activities.
• Help coach and upskill junior analysts.

You should bring:

• 2-4 years' experience in a SOC, CSIRT, or cyber defence environment.
• Solid knowledge of SIEM and EDR platforms (Sentinel, Splunk, Defender, CrowdStrike, etc.).
• Understanding of MITRE ATT&CK and network/cloud security principles.
• Strong analytical and communication skills.

Bonus points for:

• Scripting or automation experience (KQL, PowerShell, Python).
• Background in threat hunting or vulnerability management.

Why apply?

Hybrid flexibility, funded certifications, cutting-edge tooling, and clear development paths into leadership or specialist roles.

If you're ready to step up and help evolve a modern SOC that genuinely invests in its people - let's chat.
