The Opportunity
We’re looking for a hands on NOC & SOC Manager to take ownership of our monitoring, automation, and security operations across multi-client environments.
This isn’t just about running a NOC.
You’ll transform it.
You’ll lead the shift from reactive support to automation first, proactive operations, building a modern NOC/SOC function that delivers real customer and business outcomes.
What You’ll Lead & Own
Automation First Operations
* You will take full ownership of automation across the business, centralising it within the NOC/SOC and removing the burden from the Service Desk. Your focus will be building scalable, self-healing systems that reduce tickets at source, not just respond to them.
Advanced Scripting & Engineering at Scale
* You’ll design and deploy automation across large environments using PowerShell and modern orchestration tooling. This isn’t basic scripting; you’ll be operating safely and effectively across thousands of endpoints.
Proactive Monitoring & Signal Quality
* You’ll own monitoring strategy end-to-end, improving telemetry, and reducing noise, and ensuring alerts drive meaningful action, not unnecessary tickets.
Security Operations & Response
* You’ll lead security operations across SIEM and EDR platforms, owning detection, triage, response, and continuous improvement of security posture.
Platform Performance & Reliability
* You’ll ensure high levels of patch compliance, availability, and infrastructure health across customer environments, from endpoints to cloud platforms.
* You’ll drive a culture of fixing problems permanently, using trend analysis, automation, and engineering improvements to remove recurring issues.
Team Leadership & Accountability
* You’ll build and lead a high performing team with clear ownership, strong standards, and a focus on outcomes over activity.
What Makes This Role Different
This role combines:
Operational Leadership (Run)
Owning uptime, SLAs, and service quality across all environments
Engineering Excellence (Build & Improve)
Designing automation, eliminating root causes, and scaling operations
You won’t just manage a function... you’ll engineer it.
Who You Are
You’ll Thrive If You…
* Are automation obsessed and hate repetitive work
* Have strong PowerShell / scripting / automation engineering capability
* Have built or significantly improved a NOC or MSP operations function
* Are comfortable operating at scale (hundreds/thousands of endpoints)
* Can lead teams while staying technically hands on
* Understand the commercial impact of downtime and inefficiency
Technical Background We’re Looking For
You don’t need to tick every box but you should be comfortable operating at this level:
* Strong experience in MSP / multi-client environments
* Deep understanding of NOC operations, monitoring, and incident management
* Hands‑on experience with RMM platforms and automation at scale
* Advanced scripting capability (PowerShell essential, Bash beneficial)
* Experience designing automation workflows and integrations (APIs, orchestration tools like Rewst)
* Solid grounding in Microsoft 365, Entra ID, endpoint management, and security tooling
* Exposure to SIEM / EDR and security operations workflows
* Strong understanding of infrastructure, networking, and platform performance
Most importantly: you’ve built, improved, or transformed operations, not just supported them.
Certifications (or Equivalent Experience)
We value capability over certificates, but the following are advantageous:
* SC-200 / SC-900 (Security Operations / Fundamentals)
* ITIL 4 Foundation
* CCNA / Network+
* Vendor certifications across RMM or security platforms
Leadership & People Management
* Experience managing and developing technical teams in an MSP or operations environment
* Strong in performance management, setting expectations, giving feedback, and addressing underperformance
* Comfortable leading 121s, team structure, and accountability frameworks
* Experience with recruitment, onboarding, and growing team capability
* Confident acting as the senior escalation point during incidents
You can build and lead a high performing team, not just contribute individually.
Why Join Us?
Because this is a visible, high impact leadership role with genuine influence.
You’ll get:
* Own a mission critical function
* Real autonomy to modernise and automate at scale
* Shape what great looks like in a modern MSP
* Work in a business that values engineering, not just support
If you want a role that blends leadership, engineering depth, automation, security, commercial ownership and meaningful impact…
You’re going to love it here.
