We’re looking for a motivated Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst (Level 1) who enjoys monitoring live systems, analysing security events, and contributing to the early detection and response of cyber security incidents.
This is a hands‑on role where you’ll be the first line of defence, working closely with security tools, playbooks, and response teams to help protect enterprise‑scale systems, data, and digital assets.
What You’ll Do
• Monitor security systems and tools to detect potential cyber security incidents
• Analyse and validate security alerts, distinguishing real threats from false positives
• Escalate confirmed or unknown incidents in line with SOC playbooks and SLA requirements
• Communicate incident details clearly to security response teams and internal stakeholders
• Assist senior analysts during incident containment, eradication, and recovery activities
• Track and document incidents accurately to maintain reliable security records
• Monitor systems post‑incident to confirm normal operation and successful resolution
• Support threat intelligence research to identify emerging risks and attack patterns
• Identify and escalate risks that may impact SOC service quality or response times
• Contribute to improving SOC processes, tools, and monitoring effectiveness
What We’re Looking For
• 1–2 years of experience in Security Operations, Cyber Security, or a related field
• A relevant diploma or degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related discipline
• Foundational knowledge of information security principles, controls, and best practices
• Familiarity with security monitoring, incident management, and escalation processes
• Exposure to SOC tools such as:
• SIEM platforms
• IDS/IPS
• Firewalls and web application firewalls
• Endpoint and monitoring solutions
• An understanding of SLAs and the importance of timely detection and response
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow defined processes and playbooks
• Clear verbal and written communication skills
• A calm, methodical approach to problem‑solving and decision‑making
• A collaborative mindset with a willingness to learn, improve, and grow in cyber security
Why Join Us?
• Gain hands‑on experience in a real‑world, enterprise‑scale Security Operations Centre
• Build strong foundations in cyber security monitoring and incident response
• Work alongside experienced analysts in a supportive, team‑focused environment
• Develop in‑demand skills using modern security tools, processes, and frameworks
• Be part of a culture that values responsibility, learning, precision, and continuous improvement
Closing Date: 30 October 2026
