Permanent
(Must have Internal/ In-house SOC Experience)
I’m working with a company that’s continuing to invest in and grow their IT Security function and is now looking to bring in a skilled SOC Analyst.
This is a great opportunity to join a forward-thinking security operations team, where you’ll have hands-on ownership across threat detection, incident response, and overall security posture, alongside a competitive salary, strong benefits, and clear long-term development opportunities.

What you’ll be doing:
* Operate, tune and configure SIEM tools

* Investigate security incidents across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments; perform root-cause analysis, impact assessment and containment actions.
* Develop and maintain detection rules, use cases, threat-intelligence processes, and incident response playbooks.
* Automate detection and response workflows, using scripting tools (e.g. Python, PowerShell).
* Perform threat-hunting, log-analysis (including firewall, web/email filters), implement or review DLP controls, and collaborate with infrastructure/cloud/application teams on remediation and security posture improvements.
What we’re looking for:
* Strong working knowledge of Microsoft security stack (e.g. Sentinel, Defender) and hands-on experience with SIEM tooling, alerts triage, detection logic, and security incident workflows.
* Ability to write and optimise detection queries (e.g. in KQL), review firewall and security logs, manage email/web filtering policies, and implement / review Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls.
* Experience with automation or scripting (e.g. Python, PowerShell) to streamline detection/response and improve SOC efficiency.
* Threat-hunting and analytical mindset; proactive and collaborative approach; good communication skills and ability to work across teams.
