Lead SOC Manager
We are seeking an experienced Lead SOC Manager to provide strategic and operational leadership for a modern Security Operations Centre. This role will be responsible for ensuring the effective detection, investigation and response to cyber threats across a complex technology environment. You will lead a team of security analysts and incident responders, promote a culture of continuous improvement, and ensure that security monitoring capabilities align with business risk and regulatory expectations.
Your responsibilities will include managing day-to-day SOC operations, defining and monitoring service-level objectives, and overseeing the development of use cases, alert triage processes and incident response playbooks. You will coordinate the investigation and containment of security incidents, lead post-incident reviews, and provide clear updates to senior stakeholders. The role will also involve managing relationships with internal technology teams and external security partners, supporting threat intelligence activities, and identifying opportunities to improve automation, detection engineering and operational resilience. You will contribute to security strategy, budget planning, audit activity and the implementation of recognised security frameworks and controls.
Applicants should have significant experience managing a SOC, CSIRT or comparable cyber security operations function, together with a strong understanding of security monitoring, SIEM, SOAR, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management and cloud security. Experience leading incident response in a complex environment and working with outsourced or hybrid SOC models would be advantageous. You will be an effective people leader with a proven ability to coach technical specialists, manage priorities and communicate complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent, are desirable. A proactive, analytical and collaborative approach is essential.
