Sanderson G&D are partnering with a fast-growing cyber security consultancy undergoing significant change and transformation - and they’re looking for a Senior or Principal SOC Analyst to take a leading role in detecting and responding to advanced threats across a growing portfolio of clients.
With recent internal promotions, this is a newly defined, high-impact opportunity sitting at the heart of the SOC leadership team. Reporting into the Head of SOC, you’ll serve as both a technical escalation point and an analytical expert - collaborating closely with analysts, engineers, and strategic stakeholders.
The Role
This is more than just a hands-on analyst role. You’ll be looking at the bigger picture; investigating threats, guiding incident flow, analysing threat data, and playing a key role in improving detection and response processes. You’ll be working across platforms like:
* Elastic SIEM
* Microsoft Sentinel
* Defender for Endpoint
* CrowdStrike Falcon
* MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform)
As the team scales, this role offers both strategic involvement and technical depth. There’s also the option to step into a management role if you’re interested in developing others.
What We’re Looking For
* Significant experience in a SOC or cyber threat analysis role, ideally within a multi-client (MSSP or consultancy) environment
* Strong analytical mindset – focused on not just what happened, but why, how, and how to prevent it
* Comfortable being an escalation point for technical and analytical issues
* Working knowledge of key SIEM and EDR platforms (Elastic, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, etc.)
* Natural curiosity and willingness to get hands-on with data and investigations
* Broad exposure across cyber domains beyond pure SOC is highly valued
Why This Role?
* Be a key hire in a growing and evolving SOC leadership team
* Join during a time of strong momentum and investment
* Flexibility to take on people management and strategic input
* 100% remote working with minimal travel (2–3 events per year)
* Shape how the team detects, responds, and prevents future threats
Security Clearance: Must be eligible for SC clearance
