Senior Security Analyst Jobs in Leeds, England, United Kingdom at Hamilton Barnes
Title: Senior Security Analyst
Company: Hamilton Barnes
Location: Leeds, England, United Kingdom
Senior Security Analyst
Work from home (quarterly travel to Leeds) | c.£58,620 total package | 4 on / 4 off
The opportunity:
We're hiring eight Senior Security Analysts for one of the UK's most established technology solutions partners — a 500+ person UK business, part of a global group spanning 11+ countries, with a serious reputation in managed security services.
You'd be joining a small, senior team providing 24/7 security coverage for a regulated client. This is a genuinely senior remit: you'll own incidents end to end rather than escalating after triage, and you'll spend the time between incidents doing real proactive security work — threat hunting, vulnerability scanning, and breach and attack simulation.
What you'll work with:
- A Microsoft-first stack — Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel and KQL at the core
- Proactive tooling including Qualys, XM Cyber and AttackIQ
What we're looking for:
- Senior-level SOC or security operations experience (Tier 2/3, 2nd/3rd line or equivalent)
- Hands-on SIEM experience, ideally Microsoft Sentinel, alongside Defender XDR
- Confidence owning incidents across the full lifecycle — detection, investigation, containment and remediation
- KQL query-writing ability
- Threat hunting and proactive security experience
- Must be SC clearable (you don't need to hold clearance already)
What's on offer:
- £48,654 base + £9,965 shift allowance (c.£58.6k total)
- Work from home, with attendance at the Leeds office once per quarter. Leeds will be your designated office location, so travel expenses for these visits are not reimbursed.
- 4 on / 4 off, 12-hour shifts
- 40+ hours of training a year, with certifications supported
