Job Description
Vacancy: Security Incident Analyst L2

SOC L2 works closely with SOC L3 analysts across multiple time zones to manage complex incidents and continuously enhance our operations and how we work.
This role operates on a shift-based model and requires strong collaboration within a global team.
Your goal / purpose will be to ensure that enterprise and sector / practice group people priorities are embedded effectively, risks are managed, and managers are equipped to lead their teams through transition.
