Senior Manager, Security Operations

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Manager, Security Operations based in United States. This is a founding leadership role responsible for building and scaling a modern Security Operations Center from the ground up. You will shape the SOC’s team, tooling, detection strategy, operating model, and 24/7 response capabilities rather than inheriting an established function. The role spans both production and cloud environments as well as corporate and enterprise systems, creating a unified approach to detection and response across complex technology estates. Reporting to the CISO, you will lead detection engineering, incident response, threat hunting, threat intelligence, security analytics, and endpoint and workload protection. A strong focus on AI, automation, and data-driven operations will enable a small, highly leveraged team to focus on complex security challenges rather than routine alert processing. You will also serve as a trusted incident leader and strategic security partner across engineering, compliance, and executive teams.
