Security Analyst

Security Analyst – 5-week Contract – Fully Remote

My Customer is seeking a proactive and technically skilled Security Analyst to join their growing cybersecurity function.

This role acts as the critical bridge between the SOC (Security Operations Centre) team and the wider management group — ensuring that security incidents are not only investigated and remediated effectively but also translated into actionable insights and long-term improvements across the business.

Skills required from the Security Analyst:

• 
  
• Proven experience in a Security Analyst, Incident Response, or SOC environment (2nd line or similar).
• Strong hands-on experience in threat investigation, log analysis, and remediation.
• Good understanding of common security frameworks and practices (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, ISO 27001).
• Familiarity with a range of security tools and platforms – experience with Microsoft Sentinel is desirable but not essential.
• Excellent communication skills – able to liaise confidently between technical and non-technical teams.
• A consultative mindset with the ability to translate technical findings into meaningful business recommendations.

Key Responsibilities from the Security Analyst:

• 
  
• Act as the second-line escalation point for security incidents and alerts raised by the SOC team.
• Perform technical troubleshooting, analysis, and remediation of security threats and vulnerabilities.
• Collaborate with the SOC team to ensure incidents are handled efficiently and lessons learned are documented.
• Provide clear reporting and escalation of key security issues to management and relevant stakeholders.
• Advise on security best practices and improvement initiatives across systems, networks, and processes.
• Contribute to ongoing development of detection, response, and monitoring capabilities.
• Support reviews and recommendations around security toolsets, processes, and automation opportunities.

The Security Analyst can work fully remote for the duration of the contract.
