SOC Analyst

LYNK has partnered with a cybersecurity services provider to recruit multiple SOC Analysts as part of a growing detection and response function.
 
*This is advertised as remote due to the day to day responsibilities, however there is a 2-3 day on boarding requirement as well as 8-12 meetups per year. To make this easier we will prioritise candidates in the NW of England or as close to this as possible.
 
The company supports a diverse client base across critical sectors and operates a 24/7 SOC model with a strong emphasis on quality triage, incident response, threat hunting, and internal cyber development — not just alert monitoring.
 
You’ll be part of a well-supported, technically capable team with a strong track record in crisis response and hands-on security operations. Whether you're looking to deepen your detection skills, expand into advisory work, or strengthen your incident response profile — this is a role where you can genuinely grow.
 
What’s in it for you?
 

• £45,000 – £55,000 salary (DOE)
• Additional training budget + vendor certifications
• 23 days holiday + bank holidays + 3 extra days over Christmas
• Private healthcare buyback scheme
• Remote-first working model
• Occasional trips to HQ (Gloucestershire) or serviced office (Manchester) — monthly or quarterly
• All onboarding travel is expensed
• 37.5 hour week with early finish one day a week
• Structured progression and internal knowledge-sharing culture

 
Key Responsibilities
 

• Triage and investigate alerts from a range of SIEM and EDR platforms
• Perform initial escalation, incident classification, and severity assessment
• Conduct threat hunting and intel correlation using raw log sources
• Produce clear incident documentation and response reports
• Participate in internal security operations (log management, monitoring, etc.)
• Engage in client-focused services such as dark web monitoring, supply chain risk, and CIS-based gap analysis
• Contribute to the design and improvement of playbooks, procedures, and crisis simulations
• Occasionally support advisory work around common threats like ransomware, insider threat, and lateral movement

 
About You
 

• 1.5+ years in a SOC or CSIRT role
• Experience working with raw data and security log analysis
• Comfortable with threat intel, IOC correlation, and incident documentation
• Knowledge of security methodologies, intrusion techniques, and detection frameworks
• A strong communicator — able to explain security issues clearly to both technical and non-technical teams
• Preferably experienced in one or more core tech areas (cloud, endpoint, networks, etc.)
• You must have the unrestricted right to work in the UK — this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

 
Please note: This is a 24/7 SOC, with 8-hour rotational shift patterns. A rota is available upon request.
