We are seeking an experienced SOC Team Lead to oversee the daily operation of a Security Operations Centre and guide a team of security analysts in detecting, investigating, and responding to cyber threats. You will provide technical leadership, ensure effective incident handling, and help maintain a proactive, intelligence-led security posture across the organisation’s technology environment.
Your responsibilities will include coordinating shift activities, allocating investigations, reviewing escalated alerts, and ensuring incidents are assessed, contained, documented, and resolved within agreed service levels. You will monitor SOC performance, improve playbooks and operating procedures, and support the development of detection use cases, threat-hunting activities, and security monitoring capabilities. The role will also involve mentoring analysts, conducting quality reviews, identifying training needs, and promoting consistent standards across all levels of the team. You will work closely with infrastructure, engineering, risk, and business stakeholders to communicate threats, manage security incidents, and support post-incident reviews.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a SOC, incident response, cyber defence, or a comparable security operations environment, including previous experience leading or supervising technical teams. Strong knowledge of SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, network security, threat intelligence, and incident response methodologies is required. Experience with security orchestration and automation, cloud security monitoring, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or ISO 27001 would be advantageous. You should be confident making decisions under pressure, analysing complex events, and explaining technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant industry certifications, such as CISSP, GCIA, GCIH, GCIA, or equivalent, are desirable. A collaborative leadership style, strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
