Cybersecurity Operations Lead, Multiple Organisations

Overview
Kerry Consulting is currently partnering multiple organisations to hire for Cybersecurity Operations Lead to strengthen and evolve cyber defense capabilities. In this role, you will shape the strategy and execution of security operations, ensuring the organization stays resilient against an ever-changing threat landscape. You will work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to safeguard critical systems, data, and digital platforms that support large-scale, complex business operations.

Role
As the Cybersecurity Operations Lead, you will own the day-to-day running and continuous enhancement of the Security Operations Center (SOC). You will drive the modernization of security operations, including the adoption of automation and orchestration technologies, and oversee a broad portfolio of security platforms such as firewalls, endpoint protection, DDoS mitigation, email security, and privileged access solutions. You will serve as the central incident response authority-acting as incident commander for major events, coordinating investigations and digital forensics, and ensuring clear communication with senior leadership. A key part of your mandate is to maximize value from the Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), monitor performance against SLAs, and ensure that processes, runbooks, and incident response plans are robust, tested, and continually improved through data-driven insights and post-incident reviews.

Requirements
Degree certified, you have at least 8-10+ years of cybersecurity experience with significant involvement in Security Operations Center (SOC) and incident response functions, including leadership of complex investigations; a demonstrated history of driving SOC maturation or transformation with practical expertise in SOAR platforms, automation playbook development, and security controls across network, endpoint, and identity domains; strong command of incident response methodologies and digital forensics, with proven capability to act as incident commander during major security events; a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience), complemented by relevant certifications such as CISSP, GCIH, GCFA, or GDAT; and solid familiarity with frameworks including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and MITRE ATT&CK, supported by scripting and automation proficiency (e.g., Python, PowerShell) and the ability to communicate complex technical matters effectively to non-technical stakeholders.
