Security Operations Manager

Security Operations Manager | Up to £90,000 + Bonus | Milton Keynes - Hybrid

I'm working with a large UK organisation that is continuing to invest significantly in its Cyber Security capability and is looking for a Security Operations Manager to play a key role in the next stage of its journey.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than simply managing an established SOC. You'll have the opportunity to develop and mature the Security Operations capability, leading an internal team alongside third-party security providers.

The role will cover:

• Leading and developing a team of Security Analysts
• Managing and improving SOC/SIEM operations
• Leading security incidents, investigations and response
• Developing threat detection and monitoring capability
• Driving vulnerability management and remediation
• Managing and challenging external SOC/MSSP providers
• Optimising security tooling, processes and playbooks
• Working closely with Infrastructure, Engineering and Architecture
• Improving security metrics and operational reporting
• Exploring automation and AI across Security Operations

The environment has a strong Microsoft security focus, including Sentinel, Defender/XDR and Purview, alongside wider cloud and hybrid infrastructure.

I'm particularly interested in speaking with people who have a strong technical grounding across Security Operations, SOC and SIEM environments, but who have progressed into leadership and can demonstrate experience building, improving or maturing SecOps capability.
