• Work closely with internal stakeholders and clients to maintain high standards of service.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance on complex security incidents and investigations.
• Play a key role in shaping the future structure, capability and direction of the SOC.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience within a Security Operations Centre, ideally within an MSSP or managed security services environment.
• Previous experience leading, managing or mentoring SOC Analysts.
• Strong understanding of SOC operations, threat detection, incident response and security monitoring.
• Experience operating within a 24/7 security environment.
• Good knowledge of SIEM, EDR and wider security monitoring technologies.
• Someone comfortable combining people leadership with operational and technical involvement.
• A proactive mindset, with a genuine interest in improving SOC capability, processes and efficiency.

Who Would Suit This Opportunity?
