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
