SecOps Manager
Tech Focus: Cloud / SOC / Microsoft 365 E5
Rate: £500–£600/day (Outside IR35)
Length: 6 months
Location: Milton Keynes / London – Flexible Hybrid
We’re supporting a well-known insurance organisation currently undergoing a major companywide transformation. As they transition from an on-premise environment to a fully cloud based model, strengthening and maturing their security posture has become mission critical.
As the Security Operations Manager, you’ll assess the organisation’s current security estate and lead efforts to mature the function, focusing on improving processes, documentation, tooling, partner management and internal engagement. The environment is heavily Microsoft driven, leveraging the full Microsoft 365 E5 security stack, alongside tools such as Elastic and Qualys.
You’ll join a small but growing security function and report directly into the CISO.
Key Responsibilities
* Oversight of SOC operations, including third party management, RFPs, and potential migrations
* Vulnerability management across cloud and SaaS environments
* Identifying, evaluating, and implementing new security tools and systems
* Driving process improvement and maturing operational security workflows
* Supporting the wider transformation programme, including penetration test coordination
* Leading incident response tabletop exercises
* Building strong internal relationships and taking the business on the security journey
You’ll need proven experience across the areas listed above, as well as:
* Strong experience in Cloud and SaaS security environments
* A self starter mindset with the ability to work proactively
* Highly collaborative approach
* Strong stakeholder engagement skills
Ideally, you’ll be able to attend Milton Keynes or London on a weekly basis, but the client is open to a more flexible approach for the right candidate.
