L3 SOC Analyst

Location: United Kingdom

Type: Full-time, permanent

Due to the nature of the UK Government projects this role supports, this position is classified as a Reserved Post. In accordance with the Civil Service Nationality Rules, paragraph 1 of Schedule 23 and paragraph 5 of Schedule 22 of the Equality Act 2010, we can only accept applications from persons with UK residency (at least five years).

Successful candidates must undergo National Security Vetting (NSV). This role requires Security Check SC level clearance as a minimum. Any offer of employment is strictly conditional upon the candidate successfully obtaining and maintaining this clearance.

To meet the vetting criteria, you will be required to have been resident in the UK for a minimum of 5 years immediately prior to your application. Failure to obtain clearance or a lapse in residency history may result in the withdrawal of the employment offer, and you will not be entitled to any compensation from Saviynt as a result.

In line with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, all shortlisted candidates will be required to provide original documentation verifying their Right to Work in the UK and their British Citizenship during the initial interview stage. We conduct thorough Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks as a precursor to all higher-level clearances.

We are establishing a modern Security Operations Centre designed to deliver proactive, intelligence-driven security outcomes. Moving beyond traditional reactive monitoring, our SOC emphasises AI, automation, detection engineering, and deep cloud security visibility to identify and neutralise sophisticated threats at scale.

The L3 SOC Analyst will act as the senior technical escalation point within the SOC, leading complex investigations, driving automation initiatives, and mentoring junior analysts. This role requires strong hands-on expertise across cloud security, threat hunting, incident response, and orchestration technologies.
