Security Operations Team Lead
We are seeking a Security Operations Team Lead to oversee the effective delivery of day-to-day security operations and provide leadership to a team of security analysts. This role will be responsible for maintaining a strong security posture across the organisation, coordinating the monitoring and investigation of security events, and ensuring incidents are handled efficiently and consistently. You will act as a senior point of escalation, supporting the team in identifying threats, assessing risk and implementing appropriate containment and remediation measures.
Key responsibilities will include leading, mentoring and developing security operations personnel; managing security event monitoring, alert triage and incident response activities; coordinating investigations into suspected security breaches; and ensuring accurate, timely documentation of incidents and outcomes. You will contribute to the development and maintenance of operational procedures, playbooks and response plans, while identifying opportunities to improve processes, automation and service performance. The role will also involve working closely with technology, infrastructure, risk and compliance teams, coordinating vulnerability management activities, supporting security assessments, and producing meaningful reports and metrics for senior stakeholders. You may also participate in an out-of-hours escalation or on-call rota.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a security operations, incident response or cyber defence environment, including experience supervising or leading a technical team. You should have strong knowledge of security monitoring and incident management principles, SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, network security controls and common attack techniques. Experience with threat intelligence, vulnerability management, digital forensics or security automation would be advantageous. Relevant professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent experience are desirable. You will need excellent analytical, communication and decision-making skills, with the ability to prioritise competing demands, explain technical risks clearly and remain calm during high-impact incidents.
