SOC Manager - Managed Services
£65k - £75k basic + bonus
UK-based | Remote-first with occasional travel

Your new role..

Looking to step into a strategic security leadership role where you can shape the future of a growing SOC and lead a high-performing team?

This is your opportunity to join a leading UK-based MSP as their new SOC Manager, where you’ll be at the heart of 24/7 cyber defence operations — managing a team of analysts, enhancing threat detection capabilities, and driving operational maturity.

You’ll be the go-to person for all things security operations: overseeing incidents, improving processes, implementing automation, and working closely with clients and internal teams to improve their security posture. This role isn’t just about keeping the lights on - it’s about building a world-class SOC that stays ahead of the threat landscape.

The organisation..

You’ll be joining a well-established Managed Services Provider with a strong reputation in Infrastructure, AI, Security and Modern Workplace technologies. With a forward-thinking culture rooted in innovation and automation, they’ve built a modern SOC environment designed to protect critical systems across a diverse client base.

The business is in growth mode - and with that comes the opportunity to have a real say in how services evolve, how teams scale, and how technology is deployed.

You’ll be joining a supportive leadership team who genuinely value expertise, initiative and forward-thinking.

What you’ll bring..

You’ve already led security operations in a fast-paced environment (ideally an MSP/MSSP) and thrive on guiding teams and developing capabilities that keep pace with ever-evolving threats.

Here’s what you’ll likely bring to the table:

• Strong Cybersecurity / SOC skills, with experience in a leadership role
• Strong technical knowledge across SIEM, EDR, SOAR, IDS/IPS, firewalls & cloud security
• Hands-on incident response and threat intelligence experience
• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, ISO27001, and the cyber kill chain
• Experience managing operations for multiple clients in a multi-tenant SOC
• Confidence engaging with C-suite stakeholders and leading major incidents
• A passion for team leadership, mentoring and continuous improvement

If you’ve supported sales/pre-sales teams or led SOC demos for clients, that’s a big plus - but not a dealbreaker.

What’s next..

If this sounds like your kind of challenge, I’d love to hear from you.
