This role requires a strong technical foundation in cybersecurity operations, hands‑on experience managing SOC environments, and demonstrated leadership in incident response, detection, and recovery activities at scale.
Responsibilities
Lead the day‑to‑day management and operational oversight of SOC personnel, systems, and processes. Develop and implement strategies to enhance SOC efficiency, scalability, and responsiveness across hybrid infrastructures (on‑premises and cloud). Coordinate incident response, threat detection, and remediation activities consistent with the five functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Ensure proper escalation, communication, and documentation of cybersecurity incidents, maintaining alignment with organizational policies and compliance requirements. Establish and monitor performance metrics, SLAs, and KPIs to ensure effective SOC operations and continuous service improvement. Collaborate with leadership, IT, and security teams to align SOC objectives with enterprise cybersecurity strategy. Oversee staffing, training, and workforce development to maintain a highly skilled and responsive SOC team. Conduct regular assessments of SOC tools, workflows, and technologies to identify opportunities for modernization, automation, and efficiency gains. Support audit, compliance, and reporting activities related to cybersecurity operations and incident management. Experience
Minimum three (3) years of experience managing or running a Security Operations Center (SOC), with preference for candidates who have led a combined on‑premises/cloud SOC environment. Minimum five (5) years of experience in cybersecurity incident response supporting one or more enterprise environments with 50,000+ endpoints. Direct experience performing all five NIST Cybersecurity Framework functions (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover). Required Skills & Qualifications
Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Program Management, or related discipline. Experience managing SOC operations supporting federal or large‑scale enterprise clients. Familiarity with modern SOC frameworks and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platforms. Hands‑on experience integrating multi‑cloud monitoring and response (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud). Strong background in SOC operations, SIEM technologies, intrusion detection/prevention, and incident handling. Demonstrated ability to manage high‑performance cybersecurity teams in dynamic, mission‑critical environments. Excellent communication, analytical, and problem‑solving abilities with the capacity to brief senior executives and stakeholders effectively. Proven ability to lead SOC modernization efforts, integrate automation, and leverage cloud‑native security tools. Active security clearance – Public Trust. Preferred Qualifications
