SOC Manager

Envision Employment Solutions is currently looking for a SOC Manager for one of our partners, a leading Digital Bank!

THE ROLE

You lead the defense the digital bank will be a target from the day it opens, and the Security Operations Centre you run is what detects an attack, contains it and brings the digital bank back to safety. When a major incident occurs, you and the team will lead the response, coordinate decisions and ensure customers and the bank are protected.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead the cybersecurity incident response lifecycle end to end, from identification and containment through eradication, recovery, post incident review & feeding lessons back into the organisation
• Oversee 24x7 security monitoring and incident handling against defined procedures, escalation paths and service levels
• Build and continuously improve the incident response frameworks, playbooks and readiness exercises, including tabletop simulations
• Drive threat intelligence, threat hunting and security investigations to identify emerging risks before they become incidents.
• Act as the primary escalation point during major cyber incidents, coordinating technical teams, senior management, communications and regulators.
• Improve detection quality by reducing false positives, closing visibility gaps and measuring control effectiveness.
• Ensure SIEM, SOAR, EDR and threat intelligence platforms are integrated, automated and tuned to support effective response.
• Work with Security Engineering, infrastructure and application teams to embed detection and response requirements into new systems.
• Develop the SOC team through coaching, practical exercises and clear analyst progression.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 7 to 10 years in cybersecurity, with 4 to 5 years clearly running a Security Operations Center (SOC)
• Command of the full incident response lifecycle, grounded in a recognised framework such as NIST or SANS
• Hands on depth with SIEM, SOAR, EDR and threat intelligence platforms
• A record of building detection capability, playbooks and operating procedures, and readiness exercises
• Strong judgement under pressure and the ability to communicate clearly during major incidents. Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GCIH or GCFA, and financial services cybersecurity experience, are valuable not essential
• Familiarity and experience with the Egyptian Cybersecurity framework is valuable not essential

YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU

• You stay clear headed in the middle of an incident
• You challenge weak detections
• You’d rather hunt the threat than wait for the alert
• You treat every incident as an opportunity to strengthen the digital bank's defences further
• You know the difference between a SOC that looks ready and one that is
