Were recruiting a SOC Analyst to join our growing Security Operations team in Newcastle. This is an opportunity for an established SOC Analyst or a strong 1st Line Analyst ready to take the next step, with hands-on exposure to a broad Microsoft security environment, greater ownership of investigations and incidents, and opportunities to develop technically. The role will initially follow a 4-on, 4-off night shift pattern during a transition period, with a longer-term move to an 8-hour shift model. The role is currently remote, with plans for the Newcastle team to spend more time together in the office as our local operation grows.
