SOC Analyst

MCS Group is proud to be partnering with a purpose-driven technology organisation using innovation to solve some of the world's most pressing healthcare challenges. As they continue to expand, they're seeking a skilled SOC Analyst to join their growing security team.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your technical expertise in a role where your work directly contributes to building secure, resilient systems that support life-changing research and global health advancements.

• Investigate suspicious behaviour and actively respond to security incidents

• Provide hands-on IT support to internal users, including system setups and troubleshooting
• Lead on-site IT support and contribute to special projects as needed

What's in it for you:

• Competitive salary based on experience
• No overtime or weekend work required - excellent work-life balance in a SOC environment
• Hybrid or remote working available (must be based in the UK/Ireland)
• Join a company delivering meaningful change through technology and innovation
• Collaborative team culture with opportunities for professional development
• Be part of a tech team supporting real-world impact in healthcare and scientific research

What you need:

• Experience of IT/Security experience (or a related Bachelor's degree with hands-on exposure)
• Experience working in a Security Operations Centre or similar security environment
• Strong understanding of SIEM tools (e.g., LogRhythm, Splunk)
• Comfortable working across Windows, Mac, and Linux environments
• Familiarity with IAM practices
• Excellent communication and documentation skills

Desirable but not essential:

• CompTIA Security+ or similar certifications
• Experience leading escalated IT support issues
• Background in regulated or compliance-heavy industries
