  • Developing and implementing SOC procedures, guidelines, and best practices to facilitate efficient incident response.
  • Collaborating with internal stakeholders, such as system and service owners, to enhance protective monitoring and controls.
  • Staying informed about the latest cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and industry trends, while proactively recommending and supporting the implementation of protective measures.
  • Leading incident response efforts, including major incidents, encompassing containment, investigation, analysis, and reporting of security incidents.
  • Conducting post-incident analyses and proposing enhancements to improve the department's overall security posture.
  • Acting as the contract manager and/or service owner for our outsourced CSOC service and SIEM tool, with potential leadership for additional cybersecurity tools and services.
  • Collaborating with our CSOC service management supplier to ensure timely resolution of security issues and develop alerting and playbooks for services.
  • Working with IT engineers to ensure proper configurations and management of security monitoring tools and technologies.
  • Preparing and presenting reports on SOC operations, incident response activities, and security posture to key stakeholders.
  • Collaborating with cybersecurity teams within the broader organization to ensure a coordinated approach to cybersecurity tooling, risk management, information sharing, and policies.

  • Demonstrated ability to perform under pressure, managing multiple tasks simultaneously while meeting deadlines.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the capacity to motivate and guide a team of analysts.
  • Proven experience in a leadership role, ideally as a senior SOC analyst or SOC team lead.
  • In-depth knowledge of cybersecurity principles, frameworks, and best practices.
  • Comprehensive understanding of security technologies, including Microsoft Sentinel, Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Zscaler, Microsoft Defender, endpoint protection, advanced KQL, automation, playbooks, and workbooks.
  • Hands-on experience with incident response and forensic tools, techniques, and methodologies.
  • Familiarity with security principles and technologies for cloud-hosted services such as AWS, Azure, SaaS, and Azure Sentinel.
  • Ability to analyze and interpret security logs, event data, and alerts to identify potential threats.
