Principle SOC Analyst (Remote)

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

Defender for Endpoint

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
