Senior Security Operations Center Analyst

Senior Cyber Security Analyst (SOC)

📍 Andover, Hampshire

🕒 Days & Nights – a genuinely great shift pattern

🔐 Security Clearance: SC required or Able to Achieve it

💼 Permanent | Competitive salary + shift & on‐call allowance

Not your average SOC role. Not your average client.

If you’re a Senior SOC Analyst who wants more than staring at alerts all night, this is a rare opportunity to work in a high‐trust, high‐impact security operations environment where your expertise actually shapes outcomes.

You need to already be a British Citizen and to have lived in the UK for 5 years, this will be checked. CND cannot sponsor citizenship or visas.

CND is expanding and we’re looking for an experienced Senior SOC Analyst to deliver 24/7 SOC services across mission‐critical platforms, protecting organisations that really matter.

You’ll be part of CND’s permanent team, but initially embedded on a very special client site in Andover. From there, genuine progression opportunities exist across CND’s wider consultancy and managed security services portfolio.

(Seriously, have a look at our website. It’s good stuff.)

🌟 Why this role is different

This isn’t “just” an analyst position, it’s a consultative, trusted‐advisor role where you’ll:

• Mentor and support client analysts
• Influence how monitoring is done, not just respond to it
• Help shape capability, tooling, and process maturity
• Access to further training during quiet moments.

And yes... the shift pattern really is that good:

✅ Brilliant rota designed for real work–life balance

✅ Regular 5‐day breaks built into your schedule

✅ At least two full weekends off every month (rare in a 24/7 SOC)

✅ A growing, well‐funded team investing in new capability, and in you

🔍 What you’ll be doing

• Deliver high‐quality, in‐depth security analysis from SIEM alerts through to investigation and response
• Actively drive improvements in monitoring coverage, detection quality, and SOC effectiveness
• Engage confidently with stakeholders at all technical levels
• Proactively advise the client, bringing insight and calm leadership to complex security challenges
• Serve as a point of escalation, supporting and guiding junior analysts

🧠 What you’ll bring

• Hands‐on experience with SIEM platforms such as Splunk, ArcSight, LogRhythm, or AlienVault
• A strong understanding of how to get real value from security tooling
• Experience building capability and consulting with customers to improve their environments
• Knowledge of SOC processes, playbooks, and procedures (highly desirable)
• Confidence owning incidents end‐to‐end — from detection through investigation to response

🚀 Ready to step up?

• If you’re looking for a SOC role where you’re trusted, valued, and given room to grow, we’d love to hear from you.
