Job Description:

Sanderson G&D is partnering with a fast-growing cybersecurity consultancy undergoing significant change and transformation. They are seeking a Senior or Principal SOC Analyst to lead in detecting and responding to advanced threats across a growing portfolio of clients.

This is a high-impact role within the SOC leadership team. Reporting to the Head of SOC, you will serve as both a technical escalation point and an analytical expert, collaborating with analysts, engineers, and stakeholders.

The Role

This role involves more than hands-on analysis. You will investigate threats, guide incident flow, analyze threat data, and improve detection and response processes. Platforms include:

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

As the team grows, there are opportunities for strategic involvement and technical depth, including potential management responsibilities.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in a SOC or cyber threat analysis role, preferably in a multi-client (MSSP or consultancy) environment
• Strong analytical skills—focused on understanding the why, how, and prevention of threats
• Ability to act as an escalation point for technical and analytical issues
• Knowledge of SIEM and EDR platforms (Elastic, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, etc.)
• Curiosity and hands-on approach to data and investigations
• Broad exposure to cyber domains beyond traditional SOC work is highly valued

Why This Role?

• Be a key hire in a growing SOC leadership team
• Join during a period of momentum and investment
• Opportunities for people management and strategic input
• 100% remote work with minimal travel (2–3 events/year)
• Shape the detection, response, and prevention strategies of the team
