SOC Team Lead

A SOC (Security Operations Center) Team Lead plays a crucial role in managing and coordinating the daily functions of a security operations centre, which is a centralized unit that deals with security issues on an organizational and technical level. The SOC is responsible for monitoring, analysing, and protecting an organization from cyber threats. The SOC Team Lead will act as team lead for a team of 10-12 analysts. The Team Lead will be primarily responsible for facilitating the analysts in their daily work and helping them grow in their capabilities. The Team Lead will work in a team of 3 other Team Leads and report into the SOC Manager.
