It’s a fantastic opportunity to step into a visible and influential role, collaborating with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. You’ll be empowered to drive continuous improvement, shape our cyber security posture, and ensure our security operations are well-planned, well-governed, and well-executed.

* Strategic Visibility– Operate at the heart of our security operations, ensuring the safe and reliable delivery of gas.
* End-to-End Ownership– Lead security operations across multiple areas, from alert triage to incident management and threat analysis.
* Leadership Influence– Work closely with senior stakeholders, shaping our security posture and creating accountability at every level.
* Agile Delivery– Flex between monitoring security events and stepping in to manage specific incidents when needed.
* Continuous Improvement– Embed best practices across the function and improve how we monitor, respond to, and communicate security events.
What you'll bring:
You’re an experienced SOC Analyst who’s comfortable shaping security operations, coaching teams, and influencing at senior levels.
* Strong SOC Background– Experience managing security operations with proven expertise in alert triage, incident management, and threat analysis.
* Technical Credentials– Relevant certifications such as CEH, CompTIA Sec+, CompTIA Network+, and a solid grasp of SIEM and XDR tools (e.g., Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel).
* Delivery Versatility– Ability to step into incident management roles and flex to meet security needs as required.
