Job Title: SOC Analyst

Location: 100% Remote

Duration: 6+ Months

Job Description:

1. Summary

Client is seeking four contract Security Analysts to restore full 24x7 Security Operations Center (SOC) coverage through the end of 2025. This is a temporary, operational support engagement designed to sustain the security function during the transition period following Client s acquisition, until integration into Client s infrastructure is complete. These analysts will be responsible for core SOC functions, with a strong focus on Incident Response -including detection, triage, containment, remediation, and post-incident reporting. Candidates must be capable of managing incidents end-to-end and interfacing with both internal and external stakeholders as needed.

Beyond incident response, the role includes contributing to day-to-day security administration across systems such as CrowdStrike, Microsoft Entra, Duo, and Cisco Umbrella. Analysts are expected to identify and act on opportunities to improve the overall security posture. All four resources will report into the SOC and be functionally managed by Michael Burgher. Strong communication skills, the ability to work independently, and a proactive mindset are essential.

1. Job Level and Experience

All four should be Mid-Level Analysts, capable of operating with moderate oversight and executing core SOC functions effectively.

Ideally, our preference would be for one of them to be a Senior Analyst who can act as a lead, a technical escalation point for the other three and can fully manage incidents end-to-end. However, due to the time constraints we recognize that this may not be possible.

1. Key Responsibilities

All analysts will be expected to:

• Monitor, triage, and respond to security alerts.
• Lead or assist with incident management from detection through resolution.
• Conduct post-incident analysis and create clear, professional incident reports and postmortems.
