Head of Information & Cyber Security - Permanent Recruitment at Lawrence Harvey

Location – Fully Remote

Salary - £75-85k + Bonus + Benefits

Currently working with a UK Fintech firm who are in the process of building out their Cyber Defence capability and looking to bring in a cloud-based Security Operations Specialist.

This is a wide ranging role where you’ll be responsible for both Engineering and Analysis; monitoring and responding to incidents whilst also developing new detection rules and enhancing their monitoring infrastructure and tooling.

This is an incredible opportunity for an experienced SecOps specialist with experience of both SecOps Analysis and Engineering to join a growing yet established firm at a crucial point as they completely build out their Information and Cyber Security capability. Whilst they have the fundamentals in place, this is a relatively greenfield SOC buildout, where you will work alongside the SOC Manager to shape their SOC monitoring, detection and response function.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a lead and technical escalation point on the most complex incidents and investigations.
• Develop and engineer new detection rules, automating monotonous tasks where possible.
• Proactively research emerging and potential threat actors as a way of developing rules to safeguard against potential future threats.
• Mentor and train junior team members through complex incident response investigations.

Key Requirements:

• Significant experience working in a SOC environment (4 years minimum), dealing with and responding to escalated and most high profile incidents.
• Comprehensive knowledge and experience utilising/fine-tuning the Microsoft Security stack – Defender, Sentinel, KQL, etc.
• Experience working in hybrid-cloud SOC environments – Azure/AWS preferably.
• Ability to articulate specific projects that you have built, developed or led on, specific to SecOps Engineering and Automation.
