If building a SOC from the ground up (and making it smarter, faster and sharper) sounds like your kind of challenge — keep reading.
This is your opportunity to take true ownership of our end-to-end SOC architecture – defining how our platforms, detections and controls evolve to meet client, regulatory and business needs.

This is a hybrid role, with 2 days per week based in either Hemel Hempstead or Farnborough.
Please note: you must be eligible for SC and DV clearance.
What you’ll be doing
* Owning the SOC architecture, ensuring designs, integrations and operating models meet regulatory and assurance requirements
* Producing both high- and low-level security control designs, including defining testing requirements
* Setting and governing standards for detection content, including rules, use cases and correlation logic
* Acting as the technical authority for client security designs and technology roadmaps
* Leading SOC maturity initiatives in support of CREST accreditation
* Identifying and introducing technologies that enhance analyst effectiveness, including automation and AI
What you’ll bring
* Proven experience designing or owning security architectures within SOC, MSSP or complex security environments
* Strong understanding of detection engineering and SOC operations
* Ability to oversee security platforms and integrations holistically
* Knowledge of governance, compliance and accreditation frameworks such as CREST
* Experience assuring technical architectures using secure-by-design principles
It would be great if you had
* Existing SC or DV clearance
If you’re excited by this role but aren’t sure your experience ticks every box, we’d still love to hear from you.
