Senior Information Security Analyst, SOC

bet365 Stoke-On-Trent, England, United Kingdom

As a Senior Information Security Analyst, you will focus on the technical side of information security to ensure IT systems are built and operated in a secure manner.

The Information Security team monitors live operations, creating and reacting to alerts and anomalies identified through automated tools or manual analysis.

The Security Operations Centre (SOC) owns the end-to-end process from alert to resolution and is a major part of the cyber incident management process. As such, they are both a reviewer of alerts and the resolver group, not necessarily fixing, but certainly identifying the issue.

As part of the SOC function, you will work closely with the engineering team to define tool requirements and onboard new functionality. You will also collaborate with colleagues in governance and compliance to ensure appropriate data usage.

We use industry-leading, enterprise tools to identify threats, along with in-house scripts and internet research. The day-to-day work is fast-paced and dynamic, responding to business priority and threat landscape changes.

This role is eligible for inclusion in the Company’s hybrid working from home policy.

Preferred skills and experience

  • Experience of taking a lead role championing information security aspects, both up front and throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Demonstrate a high level of hands-on technical experience securing operating systems and use of security related tools.
  • Experience of security related technical investigations.
  • Working knowledge of industry standard information security practices.
  • Knowledge of developments in security technologies and their applications.
  • Awareness of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) at current version.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills, as well as high attention to detail.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to work to deadlines.
  • Pragmatic approach to the administration of governance and risk.
  • Display a committed, flexible, can-do attitude towards work.

Main Responsibilities

  • Owning the technical aspect of the incident management process related to information security issues.
  • Undertaking security related investigations.
  • Overseeing the daily security operational processes and acting as an escalation point where necessary.
  • Responding to, and reporting on, system alerts from various monitoring technologies.
  • Leading the project process to ensure that information security aspects are considered up front and throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Developing a thorough understanding of the Business, whilst supporting other members of the team.
  • Liaising with the Business to ensure that information security requirements within each of the different jurisdictions in which we operate are complied with.
  • Creating technical documentation.
  • Taking an active role in audits as necessary.

This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑technical roles, the transferable skills you already possess, and a concrete 90‑day plan to land a cyber security job—no packet sniffers required.
