I’m currently working with one of the leading international Cyber Security consultancies (for their UK setup) to help them find a new SOC Consultant. The role has arisen because of the continued demand from their customers for consultancy services around their Security Operation Centres.

The Cyber Security SOC Consultant will provide advice to the design team of SOC solutions through the identification of risks through analysis of threats to the system, vulnerabilities throughout the user, technology and operating environments and produce acceptable risk treatment solutions. Whether helping your customers set up their SOC, or helping them mature an existing SOC, your knowledge, experience and interpersonal skills will be valuable in your consultancy efforts.

This role would be perfect for someone like a Lead SOC Analyst or a SOC Manager, someone with a solid technical background who is thinking about the next step in their career and likes the idea of moving into a consultancy role. Equally, someone already in a SOC Consultancy role who fancies a move would also be perfect

As well as the technical skills, your interpersonal skills are essential to this role. We’re looking for someone with a great personality and excellent communication skills to not only be able to work well with your customers, but to fit in with the rest of the team internally too.
