SOC Team Lead
We are seeking an experienced SOC Team Lead to manage and develop a security operations function within a fast-paced, technology-focused environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on cybersecurity professional who can provide technical leadership, strengthen operational processes and support the ongoing development of a capable security monitoring team.
You will lead the day-to-day operation of the Security Operations Centre, ensuring effective monitoring, triage, investigation and response to security events. The role will involve coordinating analysts, managing escalations and maintaining clear communication with internal stakeholders during incidents. You will also contribute to shift planning, workload allocation, performance management and the continuous improvement of procedures, playbooks and detection capabilities.
Key responsibilities will include overseeing incident response activities, reviewing investigations, identifying trends and ensuring that threats are assessed and addressed within agreed service levels. You will support the development of use cases, alert tuning and threat-hunting activities, while helping to improve the quality and consistency of operational reporting. The role will also involve coaching team members, supporting recruitment and contributing to training and professional development plans.
The successful candidate will have proven experience working in a SOC, security operations or incident response environment, with previous experience of leading or mentoring a technical team. You should have a strong understanding of security monitoring, SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management and common attack techniques. Experience with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST or ISO 27001 would be advantageous.
Excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential, together with the confidence to make sound decisions during high-pressure incidents. Relevant industry certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent, would be beneficial. You must be able to work collaboratively, maintain a clear focus on risk and demonstrate a proactive approach to improving security operations.
