What your day will look like
We are looking for a skilled Security Operations Analyst (f/m/d) to join our team and help protect Thinkproject from evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will be responsible for monitoring, detecting, investigating, and responding to security events across our environments including endpoints, networks, cloud platforms, and applications. You will play a key role in managing security tools such as SIEM, EDR, threat intelligence feeds, and vulnerability scanners to support effective incident detection and response.
The Security Operations Analyst will work closely with cross-functional teams including IT, DevOps, and incident response to ensure swift and coordinated resolution of security incidents.

- Collaborate with IT, DevOps, and other teams to ensure timely incident containment and remediation; escalate complex issues when necessary.
- Manage outputs from cybersecurity assessment tools, coordinating with teams to ensure mitigation of identified vulnerabilities and risks.
- Participate in security exercises and testing to identify gaps in coverage and detection capabilities.
- Contribute to the ongoing maturation of the Security Operations Centre by introducing new logging, monitoring, and response solutions to enhance departmental operations and improve cybersecurity coverage.
- Maintain clear and detailed documentation of investigations, alerts, and incidents to support knowledge transfer and reporting.
- Proactively pursue professional development opportunities to stay current with evolving threats and security technologies.
- Adapt SOC processes, solutions, and procedures to enhance the monitoring of the organization's IT network health.
