We’re building experiences that wow our customers – and that starts with bold, curious people who want to do work that matters.

If you’re hungry to grow, excited by impact and ready for a challenge that will supercharge your career, this could be your moment.

As our Security Operations Analyst, you’ll play a key part in delivering a world‑class security monitoring, detection and incident response capability that keeps Super Group and its brands safe, getting hands-on with monitoring and triaging security alerts, investigating and responding to incidents, and getting hands‑on across our SIEM, EDR, cloud and network security tooling. Your drive and ideas will help us move faster, improve smarter, and stay ahead of the game.

What you’ll do

You’ll take ownership of work that gives us our competitive edge, including:

Monitor and triage security threats in real time

Keep watch over alerts from our SIEM, EDR/XDR, firewall, cloud and identity platforms, working the queue and separating real threats from the noise.

Carry out first‑line analysis of security events and escalate confirmed incidents quickly and accurately to the right people.

Investigate and respond to security incidents

Dig into suspected compromises – from phishing and malware to identity and endpoint alerts – to work out what happened and contain the impact fast.

Capture clear incident records covering timelines, root cause and remediation, in line with our incident response process.

Hunt for threats and apply intelligence

Proactively hunt for indicators of compromise and suspicious activity across the environment, finding what automated tools might miss.

Consume and apply threat intelligence to sharpen detection rules and stay ahead of emerging attack techniques.

Manage vulnerabilities and strengthen our defences

Run and interpret vulnerability scans, track remediation and help prioritise fixes based on real risk to the business.

Tune detection rules, maintain security tooling and recommend improvements that make monitoring and response faster and smarter.

Support security services and business operations

Manage and fulfil security-related service requests and operational tickets through Jira, ensuring timely triage, implementation, escalation and resolution in line with agreed service levels.

Review and action requests relating to access management, firewall andnetwork rule changes, cloud and server connectivity, email security, password management and other security services, while maintaining appropriate security controls, approvals and audit records.

Support compliance, reporting and continuous improvement

Maintain accurate security documentation, standard operating procedures and audit trails aligned to ISO 27001, POPIA and our regulatory obligations.

Produce clear reports and metrics for stakeholders and support our external SOC partner and shift‑based coverage.
