Exceptional opportunity for experienced Security Analysts, including Service Leavers and Veterans stepping into mid-level cyber roles

Tier 2 SOC Analyst

Location: Stoke-on-Trent (on-site)

Salary: From £52,000 + shift allowance

Clearance: DV required (UK Sole National)

We are seeking a highly capable Tier 2 SOC Analyst to take a lead role within our 24x7 Security Operations Centre. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced cybersecurity professional — or for a Service Leaver with strong practical cyber, communications, intelligence or security operations experience — to step into a position with real technical ownership.

About the Role:

You will take charge of medium to high-severity incidents, lead investigations, support containment and remediation efforts, and act as an escalation point for Tier 1 analysts. You will also contribute to detection engineering, threat hunting, SIEM improvements and continuous SOC maturity initiatives.

This is a hands-on, impactful role where your decisions directly improve the organisation's security posture.

What You will Be Doing:

  • Leading triage, investigation and classification of security events
  • Taking ownership of incident containment, recovery and root cause analysis
  • Acting as a technical escalation point for junior analysts
  • Conducting threat intelligence analysis and sharing insights
  • Tuning SIEM rules, improving detection capability and reducing false positives
  • Supporting onboarding of new data sources and improving correlation logic
  • Leading post-incident reviews, reporting and service review summaries
  • Supporting vulnerability lifecycle management, remediation guidance and patch validation
  • Contributing to continuous improvement, automation, MITRE ATT&CK mapping and threat modelling

What We are Looking For:

  • 1–5 years' SOC experience or similar operational cyber background
  • Strong hands-on experience with SIEM platforms (LogRhythm, Elastic, Sentinel etc.)
  • Ability to manage and resolve complex incidents end-to-end
  • Solid understanding of network protocols, firewalls, IDS/IPS and endpoint security
  • Strong analytical mindset and clear written and verbal communication
  • Interest or experience in scripting/automation is highly beneficial
  • Certifications such as Security+, CEH, CISSP, CCSP, BTL1/2 are desirable but not essential.

Why this is a great role for Service Leavers

This role suits ex-military individuals with experience in:

  • Defensive cyber
  • Communications / CIS
  • Intelligence analysis
  • Security operations
  • Technical leadership
  • Incident response environments

Your ability to stay calm under pressure, interpret complex information quickly and lead others makes you particularly well suited to this Tier 2 environment.

You will have the chance to mentor junior analysts, influence security strategy and work in a structured, operationally mature team where your experience will be valued and respected.
