Senior Security Operations Analyst (Contract - Inside IR35)

6-Month Initial Term | Hybrid | Potential to Extend

We're working with a global data science powerhouse in securing a Senior Security Operations Analyst for a 6-month contract (with strong extension potential).

This is your chance to step into a high-impact role where you’ll sharpen cloud detection strategies, lead threat response efforts, and make your mark on a modern, cloud-native security operation — all within a business that thrives on data at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Keeping a sharp eye on threats across hybrid and cloud estates (GCP)
• Crafting and fine-tuning smart detections using KQL
• Leading the charge on incident response, from first alert to final report
• Getting stuck into threat hunting and shaping how detections are built and improved
• Helping drive security automation and weaving in IaC wherever possible
• Teaming up with engineers and platform folk to lock down cloud and container environments

Requirements:

• Solid chops in security monitoring, threat detection, and fast, effective incident response
• Hands-on with XDR tools like Defender, Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, or FireEye
• Confident with KQL, especially in Microsoft Sentinel
• Strong background in GCP
• Experience securing Kubernetes, Docker, and containerised workloads
• Familiar with MITRE ATT&CK, SOAR, and writing detections as code
• Comfortable scripting in Python, PowerShell, or Bash

Start Date: ASAP
