The Role

We're looking for an experienced Information Security Operations Manager to lead and mature a Security Operations (SOC) function. This is a hands-on, operational role focused on improving detection, response, and incident readiness - not a compliance or GRC-led position.

You'll manage a small SOC team, own the relationship with a Managed Detection & Response (MDR) provider, and drive continuous improvement across security operations, tooling, and processes.

Drive a Security Operations improvement roadmap

Produce meaningful operational metrics, KPIs, and reporting

Technology & Environment

Strong focus on Azure and cloud security
Experience across IAM, modern security architectures, and cloud-native tooling
Operational, detection-and-response-led security environment

What This Role Is Not

Not GDPR-, ISO-, or risk-framework-led

Not policy- or audit-heavy

This role is about real-world security operations and outcomes.

Experience & Skills

Proven experience managing or leading Security Operations / SOC functions
Hands-on experience working with MDR providers
Strong operational incident response background
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
Ability to influence, lead, and improve in a fast-paced environment
