Our client is a well-established Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) and a leading Fortinet and Microsoft partner, delivering high-impact cybersecurity solutions to some of the most security-conscious organisations in the UK — spanning defence, government, and financial services.
With a mature, well-resourced SOC and a strong culture of internal development, this is an environment where analysts are genuinely invested in and given the tools and exposure to grow.
The Role
At L2, you'll move beyond first-line triage and into the heart of the SOC's investigative work. You'll be the escalation point for L1 analysts, taking ownership of complex and high-priority incidents from initial escalation through to resolution and post-incident reporting. Alongside reactive work, you'll be conducting proactive threat hunting across the environment — identifying indicators of compromise before they become incidents.
What We're Looking For
* Solid hands-on experience in a SOC environment at L1 level, with a clear appetite to step up
* Strong working knowledge of Fortinet and/or Microsoft SIEM/EDR platform
* Good understanding of the attack lifecycle, threat actor TTPs, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework
* Experience leading or contributing to end-to-end incident investigation
* Ability to produce clear, accurate incident reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
* Relevant certifications such as CompTIA CySA+, BTL2, or equivalent
* Eligible for Security Clearance (SC Clearance)
What's on Offer
* £36,000 base salary + 15% shift bonus
* A structured progression path
* Ongoing training and development within a technology-leading MSSP
* Exposure to complex, high-profile client environments across defence, government, and financial services
* A collaborative team culture where your development is taken seriously
