Senior Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC) Manager (London)
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC) Manager to lead and develop a high-performing security operations function based in London. This is a senior leadership role responsible for overseeing the organisation’s capability to detect, investigate and respond to cyber threats across a complex technology environment. You will provide strategic direction while remaining close enough to operational delivery to ensure effective monitoring, rapid incident response and continual improvement of security controls.
You will manage SOC personnel, processes and technology, including security information and event management, endpoint detection and response, threat intelligence, vulnerability monitoring and incident management. Responsibilities will include setting operational standards, defining service levels and performance measures, managing escalations, and ensuring that incidents are accurately investigated, contained and resolved. You will lead post-incident reviews, develop playbooks and response procedures, and promote the use of automation, analytics and threat-led defence. The role will also involve managing third-party security providers, budgets and delivery plans, as well as ensuring appropriate staffing, training and professional development across the team.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience managing a SOC, cyber defence or security incident response function within a large, regulated or complex organisation. You will bring strong knowledge of modern attack techniques, security monitoring, digital forensics, threat intelligence, cloud security and recognised security frameworks such as NIST or ISO 27001. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent, would be advantageous. Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, together with the ability to explain technical risk clearly to senior audiences and work effectively with technology, risk, compliance and business teams. A pragmatic, collaborative approach and a genuine commitment to building resilient security operations are key to success.
