We are seeking an experienced Cyber Operations Manager to lead and develop a high-performing security operations function. The successful candidate will oversee the monitoring, detection, investigation and response to cyber threats across the organisation’s technology environment. You will provide strategic direction while remaining engaged with operational priorities, ensuring that security controls, processes and services are effective, resilient and aligned with business objectives. This role will involve managing internal teams and third-party providers, setting service standards, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement.
Key responsibilities will include overseeing security monitoring and incident response activities; coordinating the triage, containment and remediation of security incidents; and ensuring that investigations are accurately documented and followed through to completion. You will manage the development and maintenance of playbooks, procedures and operational metrics, using threat intelligence and emerging risk information to improve defensive capabilities. The role will also contribute to vulnerability management, security testing, identity and access controls, disaster recovery planning and compliance activities. You will prepare regular reports for senior stakeholders, communicate complex risks clearly, and lead reviews following significant incidents or service disruptions.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security operations, incident management or a related technical leadership role, together with a strong understanding of security monitoring, SIEM platforms, endpoint protection, network security and cloud environments. Experience leading security operations teams and managing suppliers is highly desirable. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent would be advantageous.

A proactive approach, sound judgement and a commitment to developing people and operational maturity are essential.
