SOC Analyst (Level 2) – Security-Led MSP – Hybrid Location: London (City), with office and client site visits as needed Salary: Up to £50K, plus benefits Are you an experienced Level 2 SOC Analyst with 3 years in cybersecurity, ready for a role where you can take greater ownership and have real influence? Our client – a growing, security-led MSP – is looking for someone with strong technical skills across Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, Azure, and M365. In this key role, you'll work closely with the Head of Security, lead on escalated incidents, and help shape the security approach both internally and for clients. This isn’t your typical SOC role. If you're looking for an opportunity to make a genuine impact in a business where security is front and centre, this could be a great fit. Key Responsibilities: Incident Response Leadership: Own and manage escalated security alerts, investigating, containing, and resolving incidents using Microsoft security tools – not just passing them up the chain. Proactive Vulnerability Management: Lead on analysing and prioritising vulnerabilities, working with clients and internal teams to drive remediation and strengthen security postures. Strategic Security Development: Partner with the Head of Security to refine methodologies and build clear, actionable playbooks for the team and clients. Client-Focused Operations: Use your technical skills in a fast-paced MSP environment, communicating clearly and making sound decisions that put the client first. Security Stack Work: Support and work across the wider security stack and technologies. What We're Looking For: 3 years’ experience as a SOC Analyst, ideally within an MSSP or MSP setting. Strong hands-on knowledge of Microsoft Sentinel (or Splunk), Microsoft Defender (or other EDR tools), Azure, and M365 security technologies. Solid grounding in cybersecurity fundamentals: DNS, HTTP(S), TCP/IP, the OSI model, authentication protocols like Kerberos and NTLM, and Windows/Linux command-line tools. Practical experience analysing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Proven ability to lead and resolve complex security incidents with confidence. Excellent communication skills – you’ll be comfortable engaging with both clients and senior stakeholders. Good understanding of frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials. What’s on Offer: Flexible working options: remote, office, and client sites. An extra day off to celebrate your birthday Certification bonuses and learning support to help you grow your skills and career. Long-service awards to recognise your commitment. A genuinely positive, supportive, and family-friendly working environment. If you're ready to take the next step in your SOC career and want to work somewhere you can make a difference, apply today
