* Duration: 12 months initially, with strong likelihood of rolling extensions

The role sits within a mature Security Operations Centre supporting critical national infrastructure. You’ll be responsible for real time monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and contributing to the ongoing improvement of detection capabilities.

* Proven 2 to 3+ years’ experience working in a SOC environment (Tier 2 or Tier 3 level ideal)
* Strong hands on experience with SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel, QRadar or similar)

* Solid understanding of threat hunting, incident investigation, and response processes
* Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK framework, common TTPs, and current threat landscape
* Ideally experience across a mix of environments (on prem, cloud, hybrid), but specialists in one area will still be considered
This is a genuinely rewarding opportunity to work on projects that directly support and strengthen UK national security.
If this matches your skills and you’re available (or you know a suitably cleared colleague who might be), please reply with your latest CV and availability as soon as possible. Happy to discuss the project in more detail confidentially over a quick call.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
