SOC Analyst – Step into Shift Leadership
Leeds | £38,500 + 20% Shift Allowance (£46,200) | 4 on / 4 off,
Are you an experienced SOC Analyst looking for that next step, but not quite ready for a full Team Lead role?
I'm looking for a SOC Analyst with commercial experience who is ready to take on more responsibility within an established SOC. The role sits between L1 and L2 (think of it as an L1.5 role) and a genuine stepping stone into leadership.
You’ll still be predominantly hands-on, triaging and investigating security incidents, but you’ll also take responsibility for a small shift of around three SOC Analysts. You’ll act as their escalation point, monitor SLAs, QA tickets, lead shift handovers and help coach and mentor the team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- Hands-on SOC experience in a commercial environment
- Strong incident triage, investigation, and escalation skills
- Experience with Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR
- SentinelOne experience would be a real advantage
- Understanding of MITRE ATT&CK and common security frameworks
- Experience with ITSM/ticketing platforms such as ServiceNow
- Some previous mentoring, coaching, or supporting junior analysts
- Good customer communication skills
- Someone ready to take their first real step into SOC leadership

Shift pattern is 4 on / 4 off – 7am to 7pm, with office attendance required in Leeds when your day shift falls on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, the rest remote.
There is a clear progression route through the SOC: SOC Analyst → Shift Lead → L2/Senior SOC Analyst → Team Lead
If you're already the person other analysts come to for help, mentoring newer team members, or taking ownership when things get difficult, this could be a great opportunity to formalise that experience and take the next step in your career.
