We're supporting a top-tier consulting organisation (name anonymised) that is expanding its Blue Team and looking for a technical, curious and detail-driven Senior Cyber Operations Analyst to join their team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work with cutting-edge tooling, contribute to threat-driven defensive security, and shape advanced SecOps capabilities across enterprise environments.

You'll play a pivotal part in threat detection, incident response, detection engineering, and security monitoring - helping defend major UK organisations.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in technical depth, enjoys problem-solving, and wants to contribute to a mission-driven cyber defence team.

You will:

Additional (client-dependent) responsibilities may include:
* Proactive threat hunting
* Incident response playbook development
* Threat intelligence research
* Vulnerability scanning & reporting
* Internal (consultancy) and external (client-side) leadership opportunity
On-call requirement: approx. 1 week per month for high-priority incidents (additional compensation provided).

Not every box needs to be ticked - but strong candidates will bring experience across areas such as:
* Threat intelligence models (Pyramid of Pain, IPCE, TI lifecycle)
* Detection engineering & alert development
* Scripting skills (Python, Bash, C/C++, Java)
* Core cybersecurity fundamentals: network, cloud, cryptography, forensics
* Understanding of attacker techniques, APT behaviours and network protocol abuse
* Familiarity with Windows/Linux investigation techniques

You'll join an organisation that invests heavily in its people and offers:
* Competitive salary
* Private medical insurance
* 25 days annual leave
* 3 days paid charity leave
* Continuous learning & development opportunities
* Access to a cutting-edge cyber practice and diverse project portfolio
