Job Description:

Sanderson G&D are partnering with a fast-growing cyber security consultancy undergoing significant change and transformation - and they’re looking for a Senior or Principal SOC Analyst to take a leading role in detecting and responding to advanced threats across a growing portfolio of clients.

With recent internal promotions, this is a newly defined, high-impact opportunity sitting at the heart of the SOC leadership team. Reporting into the Head of SOC, you’ll serve as both a technical escalation point and an analytical expert - collaborating closely with analysts, engineers, and strategic stakeholders.

The Role

This is more than just a hands-on analyst role. You’ll be looking at the bigger picture; investigating threats, guiding incident flow, analysing threat data, and playing a key role in improving detection and response processes. You’ll be working across platforms like:

• Elastic SIEM
• Microsoft Sentinel
• CrowdStrike Falcon
• MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform)

As the team scales, this role offers both strategic involvement and technical depth. There’s also the option to step into a management role if you’re interested in developing others.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant experience in a SOC or cyber threat analysis role, ideally within a multi-client (MSSP or consultancy) environment
• Strong analytical mindset – focused on not just what happened, but why, how, and how to prevent it
• Comfortable being an escalation point for technical and analytical issues
• Working knowledge of key SIEM and EDR platforms (Elastic, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, etc.)
• Natural curiosity and willingness to get hands-on with data and investigations
• Broad exposure across cyber domains beyond pure SOC is highly valued

Why This Role?

• Be a key hire in a growing and evolving SOC leadership team
• Join during a time of strong momentum and investment
• Flexibility to take on people management and strategic input
• 100% remote working with minimal travel (2–3 events per year)
• Shape how the team detects, responds, and prevents future threats

Security Clearance: Must be eligible for SC clearance
