About the Role

Our client is expanding their Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC) team in Spain, and we’re looking for a Senior SOC Analyst to join us at the forefront of cyber defence. This is a key hire in their growing team, playing a senior leadership role within one of their new regional sub-teams.

As a Senior Analyst, you'll be based in either Málaga, or Seville and act as the technical and operational go-to for escalations, mentoring junior and mid-level analysts while also conducting high-level investigations and threat hunts.

• Acting as Shift Lead, taking ownership of escalations and critical decision-making across major incidents.
• Performing advanced incident analysis, threat hunting and incident response.
• Guiding and supporting less experienced team members; helping define best practices and standard operating procedures.
• Working closely with the SOC Lead and reporting key developments, incident outcomes, and trends.
• Helping to shape the operational future of the SOC, including planning for an upcoming shift model rollout.
• Supporting the Head of Cyber Ops in embedding functional leadership and developing scalable sub-team structures.
