## Description

Are you an experienced cybersecurity analyst who enjoys digging deeper than the alert? Do threat hunting, complex investigations, and finding the activity others miss interest you? Join a team of advanced cybersecurity analysts working to protect the systems that support one of the world's most critical hubs for global trade and supply chain operations. As a Tier III SOC Analyst and Shift Lead, you'll combine deep technical expertise with operational leadership in a 24×7 Security Operations Center. You'll hunt for advanced threats, lead complex incident investigations, analyze suspicious activity, and continuously improve detection capabilities using Microsoft Sentinel, KQL, threat intelligence, and other security technologies. You'll also lead SOC operations during your assigned shift, serving as the senior technical escalation point for other analysts and helping ensure incidents are effectively investigated, prioritized, communicated, and handed off between teams. You'll work across
cybersecurity, cloud, network, and operational technology environments and collaborate directly with technical SMEs and client stakeholders.

This is an opportunity to apply advanced cybersecurity skills to a mission where cyber resilience directly supports operational continuity and global commerce. We're looking for someone who can think like an adversary, lead through complex situations, communicate clearly, and help continuously improve how the SOC detects and responds to threats.
