About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Security Analyst to join our Managed Security Services team, supporting a portfolio of enterprise customer environments across security monitoring, incident investigation, threat hunting, detection improvement and customer security outcomes.
This is a hands on senior security operations role for someone who can operate independently, make sound decisions during investigations and provide guidance to both customers and less experienced analysts.
You’ll work across a broad range of customer environments and technologies, combining day-to-day security operations with deeper investigative work, detection tuning, threat hunting, continuous improvement and mentoring.
What you’ll be doing
- Lead and perform security investigations across enterprise customer environments
- Analyse security events using SIEM platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk
- Investigate suspicious activity across identity, cloud, endpoint and network telemetry
- Support incident response activities including investigation, scoping, containment, escalation and customer communication
- Act as a senior escalation point for complex security incidents and investigations
- Tune and optimise existing detections to reduce false positives and improve detection quality
- Develop new customer-specific detections and security use cases where required
- Lead and contribute to threat hunting activities driven by threat intelligence, customer concerns or emerging attack techniques
- Identify gaps in logging, detections and security visibility and recommend improvements
- Support vulnerability management activities, including reviewing and prioritising findings
- Translate technical findings into clear customer recommendations and security outcomes
- Contribute to automation, tooling improvements and broader SOC capability development
- Mentor and support junior analysts, helping improve investigation quality and decision-making across the team
- Collaborate with specialist CyberCX teams, including incident response and broader managed security capabilities
- Participate in the team’s rotating after-hours on-call roster
